kartin' stuff...

• Oakleigh Kart Racing Club will have a night practice session for Juniors, Rookies and Cadets next Wednesday the 15th. There will be a BBQ on the night. This offers a chance to run on the repaired surface prior to the Top Guns meeting, which itself is a perfect prelude to the Victorian Championships at the venue in March.
  
  
• Two Officials' Training Courses will be run by the VKA next month. If you want to be a Steward/Clerk of Course or Technical/Scrutineering Officer at VKA race meetings in 2014, you must attend one of the training days to qualify. They will be conducted at the Mantra Tullamarine Hotel on February 1 and 2. Registration must be done by January 15. Further info HERE.
  
  
• A couple of days ago, Karting NSW published an "end-of-year update" from AKA Ltd CEO Kelvin O'Rielly. The document summarises what's been happening in the past four months, plus various issues and developments in the sport - such as the appointment of a sixth Director to the Board. Former AKA Inc President Craig Denton filled the position on December 30. There will also be an AKA Leaders forum on Jan 31-Feb 2 to begin to outline the organisation's vision and "share our pivotal messages and start to
  workshop our sporting review and development." O'Rielly's communication can be downloaded HERE. There is also a schedule of AKA fees for 2014, download it HERE.
  
  
• JMAX DRIVERS! Junior Max is being offered at numerous events outside of the official Rotax Pro Tour series. The class will be running at the Junior Top Guns event at Oakleigh the week before the Rotax Pro Tour in Melbourne. The 2014 Victorian Country Series is featuring Junior Max at its 5 rounds throughout the year (see below), plus the NSW TAG Super Series will also feature the class at its 6 rounds throughout the year.
