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.
