MonartoRacing Complex ran its Open States Shakedown / Spitwater Classic meeting on Sunday. With over a hundred entrants, the new track layout was on show for the first time in a major event.
In order to support the reverse direction using the large forty four kart out grid, the slip lane has been put into service. The 6m wide slip lane actually passes completely under the judge’s tower as karts exit onto the track.
With many comments, and all complementary, floating around on media sites already, it is a true positive for the club.
Open performance was a new class addition to this event, and with many kart configurations on track, the KZs stole the show however, with the viewing areas full when they hit the track. The speed and sound was just amazing to say the least, and the effects as they exited under the tower and the pit entry on return from racing, gave a sense of what can be imagined at large scale European events for this class.

The grounds were perfectly manicured and all is in readiness for the up and coming State Championship.
President Peter Fritz commented “To have a facility with so many configurations, and having already hosting State and National Championships in the past, to still have an ace to play and hold an event on yet another fresh track layout for a major event is fantastic."
With comments already making their way on media sites such as,"Awesome", "Maddest track in Aus!!!", and "an insane track", just to mention a few, certainly shows SA has a fresh approach.
Peter went on to say “This is not only great to show case GKCSA, but SA as a whole and nationally to the world of karting “.
GKCSA is looking forward to a great event come the Open States in August, and with little doubt due to the different track layout, many will be trying to have their names etched in the record books as the inaugural winners for this track configuration.
