Current Years Activities & Results

Picking up from last year, will run in the ROK Masters/Heavy class again in 2010.  Moved up from my Haase kart to a Marenallo kart this year.  Hope to improve on skills and overall finish position in my class this year.

  
History:

2009 was the year to move from Yamaha to Vortex ROK after the club retired the Yamah class in favour of developing the ROK classes at various levels.  This class had a good number of racers resulting in a great class with lots of good racing.

2008 was the first year that I made the time to really put some effort in developing better racing skills and being more competative.  Participated in the Yamaha masters class. 

Joined the club in 2006 and for the first two years concentrated on the basics of driving and learning about the mechanics of taking care of a kart and motor.

Some of us have had an interest in the many forms of auto racing, but never really had the resources to entertain that dream.   I'm here to tell you that you can re-capture that excitement and fulfill that dream with todays modern racing karts.  

These karts are not the heavy, slow and restricted karts you found at amusement parks and they are not the dune buggy / quasi off road home built you see in the gravel pits and at some oval tracks.  These are professional level racing karts that have exceptional handling, high speed and bring the full thrill of auto racing at hobby level costs.

This hobby is open to a broad spectrum of racers.  You have the younger set who are interested in competitive racing with the potential to develop into a formal career in that field as well as those are just interested in a competitive hobby that fulfills some of their earlier aspirations to be "racers".   There is even room for the 30, 40, 50 or 60 something crowd!

Hope to see you on the track.
