An early heads up on dates for the North Island series, we have the first two dates of the four round series confirmed and venues booked.
The GO will be held in March at Tokoroa with the date and that of the final round at Edgecumbe to be confirmed around October once the Auckland calendar has been locked down for next year.
The third round looks to be the back track at Manfeild in February once we get the details nailed down.
Round 1 5/6 December at Tokoroa
Round 2 9/10 January at Taumarunui
Round 3 TBC February back track Manfeild
GP TBC March Tokoroa
Round 4 TBC Edgecumbe
Once we have enough detail on the AMCC and Kart club calendars we will fill in the blanks. As usual Camping will be available at the tracks for the Kart track rounds.
One change for this year is that there will be no trophies for the Tokoroa cup at the GP, if you want to grab some silverware get a one event upgrade or a full championship licence and enter the GP.
I may be a little biased but I do suggest that if you have never been to any of these events you should consider it. If you have questions there are people in both Auckland, Wellington and Palmerston North who have been before. Tokoroa and Edgecumbe are both awesome tracks and Taumarunui is worth the trip for the camping and a swim in the river.
Prices should be in line with last year so entry $40 day licence $20 transponder hire $10 with the entry at the GP likely to be $50 to cover the higher cost of running the event if memory serves.
We have lowered the price on transponder hire this year as a way of encouraging people to run them, we will be insisting that everybody runs one.
Cross entries at the GP are at the extortionate price of nothing so to maximise your track time start looking at F5 bikes and sidecars. I may put up a small prize for the daft person class for those that enter all three GPs if more that just Malcolm and myself are dopey enough to try.
