2018 SP Tools Australian Kart Championship – Rd 2

4

WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRMAN

W

elcome to the second round of the 2018 SP Tools Australian Kart Championship, presented by Castrol EDGE and hosted by the Albury Wodonga Kart Club.

After a sensational opening round in South Australia where more than 280 competitors lined up, it is pleasing to see 274 entries received for this weekend’s second of five rounds.

To see so many new faces adorn the top step of the podium in Monarto was very pleasing, it shows that we have a lot of new talent coming through the ranks in the SP Tools Australian Kart Championship. From Junior Sprockets graduate Rusty Ponting taking the win in Cadet 9, through to young gun Aaron Cameron dominating KZ2, it’s fantastic to see.

The battle for many of the Championships are already beginning to take shape with seven of the nine championship standings having six points or less separating the leader and second place. Only Cameron’s domination of KZ2 and Valentino Astuti’s consistency in KA2 has them with a handy buffer at the top of their respective standings.

With the Wodonga Karting Complex being a new venue for the Championship, it is an even playing field for the majority of competitors and should produce some high-speed and exciting racing.

As always, it’s a pleasure to have our partners of the SP Tools Australian Karting Championship along for the ride, with SP Tools and Castrol EDGE playing a large part in ensuring the Championship continues to be the largest Championship in the Southern Hemisphere.

Alongside SP Tools and Castrol EDGE, the Championship is greatly supported

by Mercedes-Benz Vans, Bridgestone, Dunlop, IAME, MG Tyres and Vortex engines. We thank all of these valued partners for their continued support.

A special thank you to James Reynolds and his hardworking crew in preparation of this weekend’s event. I’m sure the Club and the wider Albury/ Wodonga region will provide a fantastic welcome to our officials, teams and drivers.

I’d like to wish everyone the best of luck across the weekend and hope that all of the teams and drivers have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Regards Mick Doohan - Chairman Karting Australia

CLUB DRIVER RANKINGS RACE LOCALLY, RANK NATIONALLY The SP Tools Club Driver Rankings is a national point score system designed to provide the Club-level racer with extra incentives to compete at their local venues more often.

Drivers will race locally, but be ranked nationally, while vying for significant prizes in both their Group and specific Class.

The first rankings for the 2018 SP Tools Club Driver Rankings (CDR) from the opening rounds of CDR Race Meetings across the country were released recently.

The current SP Tools Rankings on www.clubdriverrankings. com.au have been calculated from the meetings contested in affiliated Clubs throughout March.

Drivers score points in every race at each CDR meeting but only a driver’s best heat race finish and their finishing position in the final will go towards their SP Tools Ranking. A points bonus is also awarded to the winner in the final.

Drivers can enter a maximum of eight meetings at any one club, where the six best point scores will count towards their SP Tools Ranking in your chosen Class and Competition Group.

A full list of Race Meetings that have been nominated to be included in the CDR can be found under the Participating Tracks and Dates tab on: www.clubdriverrankings.com.au The SP Tools Ranking will be updated on a regular basis from now until the end of October when the final SP Tools Ranking for 2018 will be decided.

Thanks to SP Tools and other industry partners, there’s $50,000 in prizes up for grabs in the 2018 SP Tools Club Driver Rankings. Included in the prize pool are eight SP Tools invertor generators, 24 SP Tools impact driver, cordless drill and light packages, 28 SP Tools karting tool kits, 12 annual Karting Australia racing licences, multiple sets of Bridgestone, Dunlop, MG and Vega tyres.
