To all of the IPSWICH KART CLUB committee & members and the Karting Australia volunteers who donated their time and knowledge to help the meeting run smoothly, thank you for working tirelessly to help make this event one to remember and setting the benchmark for future charity endurance events.
To Colleen & Elise from the Blue Datto Foundation, thank you for joining us track-side & helping out all weekend, but most importantly thank you for letting us be apart of helping make a difference. There was 200 competitors who hadn’t heard of the foundation that now know the name, the cause and the aim.
We cannot wait for next years edition of the Blue Datto Enduro but for now, we are looking forward to the Christmas break so we can re-group, re-focus and make 2020 an even better year in Karting.
