"Winter" Go-Kart Series Continues Jan 29 at 6:30PM at Grandprix Kartways at Downsview
Okay, you missed the first race and now you really regret it. But a second chance awaits you on January 29th.
If you're getting antsy for some track time, never fear; back again is our annual Trillium Go-Kart Championship Series. The 2012 Championship is comprised of 5 4 dates (ciick here for details) and you are welcome to attend as many of the dates as you'd like. Of course, for those with a competitive streak, the more you attend the closer you will be to challenging for the title. What else do you have to do on a Sunday evening? Just saying.
Track Location can be found on the Grandprix site (www.gpkartways.com)
Cost
To participate in this series you must be a Trillium member. Registering is easy; you can do it online at www.trillium-bmwclub.ca (1 year membership cost is $62.15, taxes included)
The cost of each event is $50.00 (taxes included), paid directly to GPK.
Race Structure
Each event will have a total of 3 heats.
Heat #1: Qualifying
Heat #2: Race - Starting position based upon qualifying results
Heat #3: Race - Starting position based on reverse order of qualifying
Example: If you start on pole the first race you will start last the second race. This format has proved successful in years past to keep the field tight and very competitive.
Please note: Approximately 7 karts per race. Groups will be divided the night of each race depending on amount of competitors registered
Kart Information
The general public get to enjoy a leisurely drive around the GPK track in karts set to speed 2. Our series, however, will be using karts set to speed 1. That's right folks; this is usually only reserved for GPK's own racing league and it’s been said that karts set to speed 1 provide an advantage worth about 1.5 seconds a lap. The karts feel faster and, if we're honest, it will be a lot more fun to slide around the outside of some poor, unsuspecting competitor.
