Superkart Racing at Wakefield Park

August 10th 2003

This just in from Kevin Hartin NSW Superkart Club VP

After a trip down south to Wakefield Park by club executives Kevin Hartin and John Pellicano, it has been announce that NSW Superkart Club (NSWSKC)  have negotiated a place as a support category at the State Championship meeting to be held at Wakefield Park on Sunday August 10th.

For those that have followed the recent happenings, it was looking good for NSWSKC to once again run with the bikes at Oran Park on August 10th. That was up until a couple of days ago when it became clear that Oran Park had lost their track license to run Bikes on safety grounds .

John and Kevin did a track inspection of Wakefield Park and are happy to report that the areas of concern  to superkarts in the past have been addressed to the NSWSKC's satisfaction. The double right hand corners at the top of the hill has been fixed where the new extension meets the old circuit and the braking area at the last turn has also been smoothed out considerably. There is the option to either run the superkarts on the new last corner or the old, which is what the karts have usually run.

A final decision on which track configuration used will be made after practice.

Entries for this meeting are to go back to Wakefield Park, along with the entry fee of $180.00 AUD

 It is imperative that our members support the exec in attending this meeting as it may well be your last opportunity to race in NSW this year. Also, if we get at least 25 superkarts to the track, we are looking good for a place as a support category at a series of four meetings to be held at Wakefield Park during 2004, featuring Touring Cars and other popular crowd drawing categories which will be confirmed subsequent to the successful promotion of this event.

It cannot stressed enough that you must make every  efforts to support this meeting as the future viability of Superkarting in NSW may well depend on its success.

Kevin Hartin

Vice-President NSWSKC

Qld State Superkart Titles

Morgan Park Raceway

Warwick QLD

QLD State Titles 

24-25.5.03

A small contingent of seven drivers,with entrants in the 80,125 and twins, made the trek to sunny but cold (and dusty, is it dusty Joe?) Warwick for the Queensland state titles at the recently upgraded Morgan Park track. A great drivers track but pretty bumpy in places.
Friday practice turned sour for Warren Mcillveen when his brake pedal went to the crash bar at one of the fastest parts of the track and went head on into the tyre barrier. With the kart bent like a banana, his weekend appeared to be over before it even began. But with the help of our guys, a few locals and three old drums of petrol he was back in action. The kart practically as new. He then proceeded to win all races and take the 250 title.
In the 125’s the result was the same with Anthony Zullian sweeping all the races for the 125 title.
Three representatives took part in the 80 class. Ross Hansen, Doug Ward and Paul Battle. With no practice before racing commenced they had their work cut out for them. Paul only getting two laps in qualifying after a broken battery connection. Pole went to local Chryss Jamieson with our guys lining up 13th,14th, and 15th.
Race one saw Ross finish second, Paul third and Dougy in fifth position after having to fight through slower traffic.
In race two, Paul just beat home local Jason Smith, Ross fell victim to a mysterious carby problem and Doug crossed the line fourth.
Third race saw all karts combined adding to the excitement. Paul won again, Ross a close third and Doug not to far back in fifth.
The fourth race shaped to be close between Ross and Paul but unfortunately Ross suffered a puncture and steadily slowed to be fifth at the flag leaving Paul to take the win while Dougy raced hard for fourth.
Unusually there were five races but only the first four counted towards the title. Paul won comfortably after the chasing pack got caught up with some slower 125 drivers. Dougy was third after a great race with Ashley Jamieson and Jason Smith. Ross DNS’d after a previous off on Saturday left him with bruising too sore to continue.
A top weekend was had by all. NSW drivers claiming every class they contested.
Thanks to the QLD superkart club who organised extra pits for us and a BBQ at a nearby motel on saturday night helping to add to the atmosphere.
There is a meeting there in July, so anybody thinking of going should make the trip (approx 10 hours drive). Especially since we don’t have a meeting for a few months.

Paul Battle.

CANCELLATION OF RACE MEETING

 ORAN PARK RACEWAY

 29^TH JUNE 2003  

This info courtesy of Kevin Hartin Vice President of the NSW Superkart Club

It is with regret that the New South Wales Superkart Club Executive have been forced to cancel the race meeting scheduled for June 29th at Oran Park South.

The refusal of CAMS to issue Permits for us to run race meetings in conjunctions with Motorcycle clubs, has forced us to go on the hunt for other Car clubs to run meetings in conjunction with, a task that has proved impossible at such short notice. For more on this issue Click Here

With many clubs already committed to a calendar for 2003, the Executive is focusing on opportunities to partner up with other car clubs to jointly run meetings for the remainder of 2003 as well as actively pursuing avenues that will enable us to renew our long term arrangement with the Motorcycle racing fraternity.

CANCELLATION OF RACE MEETING

 CALDER PARK RACEWAY

 8^TH JUNE 2003

 It is with regret that the Committee of the VSKC advises it members of the cancellation of  Round 5 (Relay Event) which was scheduled to be held at Calder Park Raceway on 8^th June 2003.

 The information we have received from CAMS is as follows: 

• Calder Park Raceway was placed in the hands of Administrators in March this year, and they were, we understand, instructed to “wind it up”
• CAMS have been negotiating since this time, for Calder Park to renew its Track Licence, due to there being a number of race meetings scheduled this year
• The Administrators indicated to CAMS that they were trying to source alternative Insurance cover for the track
• CAMS gave Calder Park Administrators until 5pm Thursday 15^th May 2003 to respond
• By Monday 19^th May 2003 CAMS had received in writing from the Administrators, a letter stating that they no longer wanted a track licence for motorsport to be held at Calder Park.

 The result of this is that as members of CAMS, we will not run any meeting without a Permit issued by them.  This permit gives us insurance cover in case of accidents.  CAMS have indicated today that they will not be issuing a Permit for our June race meeting.

 CAMS regrets that at this stage they have not been able to rectify the matter more successfully, but have confirmed that they will continue to negotiate with the Administrators.

 A “Press Release” to the media advising of Calder Park’s current situation and future will be issued by CAMS shortly.

 Please understand that as the Committee for this Club we are responsible for ensuring that Members and their teams  are appropriately covered  by Insurance whilst at any race track and as such must adhere to the regulations supplied by CAMS.  We trust Members understand that this situation is completely out of our control.

Morgan Park Transformed

Courtesy QLD Superkart Club website

(20-10-02)

Morgan Park Raceway in Warwick has undergone a radical transformation. 

The track has virtually doubled in length and boasts four different configurations.

The surface is billiard table smooth and runoff is good (apparently designed with v8s in mind).

Ripple strips are not too severe and there doesn't appear to be any problem with track/off-track surface heights.

So as you can see the layouts are exciting, especially Track D & E.

I think the track will be a winner for all classes and challenging to drive.

Track E with over 10 turns and theoretical top speeds of V8s over 200 at T4,5 & 7.
