WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRMAN
W
elcome to the round three of the 2018 SP Tools Australian Kart Championship, presented by Castrol EDGE and hosted by the Newcastle Kart Racing Club. This weekend marks the half way point in what is shaping up to be another sensational year for the Championship, and with once again, more than 270 entries received. It is certainly being well supported by drivers from all across the country and various parts of the globe. Congratulations must go out to James Reynolds and his dedicated team at the Albury-Wodonga Kart Club for putting on a great event last month. To hear such great reports back from the event is very pleasing and the credits are well deserved for the Clubs that go above and beyond for our Championship organisers, teams, drivers, mechanics and supporters. On track, the results were very interesting with so many victories going right down to the wire and at the end of it all we saw the championship lead change in six of the nine classes. A few of the most encouraging aspects to come out of round two were the performances of James Wharton, Taylah Agius and Fletcher Harris. For James to take the win on debut in the KA2 class in a last lap pass was a superimpressive effort while Taylah continues to shine in KA1, narrowly missing out on the podium and is now a clear leader in the Ladies Trophy. For Fletcher, he had a disaster in qualifying with a mechanical issue, but he fought his way up the order in the heat races from his lowly 34th qualifying spot to eventually take the win in the final – great job. 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 well supported by Mercedes-Benz Vans, Bridgestone, Dunlop, IAME, MG Tyres and Vortex engines. We thank all of these valued partners for their continued support. 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. If you’re at the track spectating I hope you enjoy the racing. If you’re unable to make it to the circuit be sure to tune into the live streaming of the Sunday’s action on www.karting.net.au or the Championship Facebook page. Regards Mick Doohan - Chairman Karting Australia 5

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.
