Phil Smith Joins MKC Race Team

press release

Melbourne Kart Centre is pleased to announce that Phil Smith has joined the Melbourne Kart Centre Race Team for the 2010 season. 

After initially beginning in the Clubman class Phil has been steadily improving, having started in the sport several years ago. In 2009 he made the podium on a regular basis with some of the more significant achievements being wins in Tag R at the City Of Melb Titles and Australasian C Grade titles. He also won the Bairnsdale Open in both Clubman and Tag R Classes. 

Phil is now competing in the open Leopard class in his Kosmic chassis and claimed pole position at the recent Vic Open Shakedown. He will also be racing at the Vic Open this weekend. Phil will be running in the Leopard Heavy and Clubman Over 40s classes and his dedication and ability should stand him in good stead.

Upon joining the team Phil said “I have been enjoying my racing more and more in recent years and I am very excited about the coming year as together with MKC. I feel it will bring a new sense of focus and professionalism to what I do on and off the track. I just can’t wait to get stuck into the 2010 calendar. I want to develop my skills with the MKC team, benefiting from their knowledge while also helping other MKC drivers achieve their goals too.”

MKC’s Race Director Roger Polak added, “Phil’s sense of dedication and focus is impressive. He has been running over 10k a week and his race fitness has really improved. He will be a handy asset to the team as well as other MKC drivers looking to benefit from his experience and friendly attitude."

Phil will be competing for MKC at the Vic Open in the Clubman Over 40s and Leopard Classes with many major meets to follow in 2010.
