Vic Superkart Club Series - Calder Park

What does Britek General Manager Chris Jewell get up to on spare weekends? Moving dirt it seems! Jewell was competing in the second round of the Victorian Superkart Club’s series at Calder Park on Saturday when he had to take to the scenery to avoid colliding karts ahead. Gary Trounson captured these images as Jewell bounced through the rough created by recent earthworks on the edge of the circuit.

...and holds the slide beautifully...

...until his head explodes!

Jewell (Hyper Racer) recovered for second overall in the 125MAX Heavy division with a win and two second placings. Colin McIntyre (Monaco) won Heavies while Dean Crooke (Hyper Racer) made a clean sweep of 125MAX Light. Victory in the gearbox classes went to Mick Bakker (125s), Roger Polak (250 National) and Gary Pegoraro (250 Inter).

The Gearbox karts and the MAXes ran in their own events and both used rolling starts. Interestingly, the club shared the track hire with the V8 Race Experience organisation. The day still seemed to flow quite well and meant the costs of staging the round were significantly reduced.

Results were posted on Sunday HERE.
