Current Years Activities & Results

Picking up from last year, will run in the ROK Masters/Heavy class again in 2011. Hope to improve on skills and overall finish position in my class this year.  Looking forward to getting back on the track!

  
History:

2010 was an interesting race year.  I particpated in the Regina ROK cup race and was very much surprised with a 3rd place finish in the Regina ROK Cup.  Although not completing any of the 3 races in the top 3, my consistent showing lead to third place after some of the other competitors were not as consistent.  Guess sometimes the tortoise does beat the hare <grin>.  First few races in the new Maranello cart are encouraging.  Knocking off a couple of seconds on average, but still need to hussel my butt to keep up with the others in the master class

2009 was the year to move from Yamaha to Vortex ROK after the club retired the Yamaha 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 competitive.  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.
