Well the dust has settled “literally” on another fantastic Queensland Kart Championship!
First of all a shout out to the Whitsundays Kart Club who hosted a fabulous first round up there at Proserpine where many of us used the away trip as a holiday as well! They gave us a fabulous first round event against all the odds with the weather gods trying to intervene.
- Lots of photos from the event on Kev The Noise Davies Facebook page HERE, HERE and HERE.
- full results on speedhive HERE. The nine classes attracted 126 entries.
So, onto the round 2 event – the Molecule 2019 Queensland Kart Championship where round winners were awarded the best trophies I’ve seen yet at any event. State Champions were crowned by molecule representative Colin Palmer & the mayor of Gympie region, Mick Curran.
Cooloola Coast kart track shines indeed, with new levelled pit area, tarmac layed up the hill to the canteen, track prepared and looking immaculate, and to top it off, a commentator’s tower with a bird’s eye view of the entire circuit!
A huge shout out to Glen Jaques (President of the club) and Darren Smith (Vice President) who, with an army of members & volunteers, have got the track up to a magnificent standard.
Before we go into the racing results, a big thanks also to the officials and stewards who came from far & wide. Thanks to the medical team, Marnie O’Neill, who was kept busy. Thanks to the canteen staff who worked tirelessly all weekend – and trust me that’s not easy, I’ve done it a few times at Warwick and it’s very tiring work!
Ok, so who were the names you heard in support of the event? Let’s run through them:
