Firstly, congratulations to the Club in holding this event. Without the hard work from the committee and its members the event could never happen and I am sure that all attending appreciated the work that went into the preparation and running of the meeting.
As always thankyou to the volunteers, the officials and canteen staff. Without their time and effort, again we could not run such a great event which is part of the 5 round series and the only Country round.
With 80 drivers contesting, and most of them practicing the day before, the track appeared to rubber up beautifully and with 7 hrs of practice, I think everyone had their fair share of track time.
Come Sunday’s qualifying the pace on was, however the track seemed to drop off 3-4 tenths of a second from when it was a brand new surface 18 month ago.
There were some fantastic times logged never the less, but no track records broken that we are aware of.
The meeting also attracted 8 “P” Plate drivers and well done to them for taking on such a great series and we look forward to them improving their skills and ditching the “P” plates during the year. Good luck guys and girls.
Round 2 will be held at the Southern Kart Club at the Bolivar circuit on 27th April 2019.
We are sure there will be a bigger turn out of drivers for round 2, and future rounds as the word spreads, the series will become what it used to be a few years back.
