Entries For CIK Round 3 Close This Friday
Tweetpress release
Competitors looking to enter Round 3 of the 2012 CIK Stars of Karting Series presented by Castrol EDGE, incorporating the Leopard and Yamaha Challenges, in Ipswich on June 16/17 only have a few days left to enter.
The three Pro classes – Pro light (KF1), Pro Gearbox (KZ2) and Pro Junior (KF3) – will feature Australia’s elite drivers with the likes of Jake Spencer, Cian Fothergill, Matthew Wall, Tyler Greenbury, Chris Hays, Jake Coleman and Cameron Hill taking to the circuit in their respective categories.
The Australian Leopard Challenge and Yamaha Challenge provides the opportunity for drivers to experience the thrill of racing as a part of Australia’s most prestigious karting series.
It is in this Challenge, where Light and Heavy competitors, compete in the same field but for different trophies and prizes which has been a big hit with Leopard competitors in the opening two rounds.
For the past three years, the Yamaha Clubman Challenge has seen many of the best state level racers take to the circuit to do battle, and 2012 has been no different with the likes of James Greenwood, Shay Mayes and Daniel Nolan duking it out. The winner of this Challenge at the end of the five rounds will win a trip to Japan to compete in the All Japan Yamaha SL Final.
Last round was the first time that a new format for the Junior National Challenge was staged with enormous success. There are two weight divisions, Light (120kg) and Heavy (140kg), competing on the circuit at the same time. However, at the end of the weekend there will be a presentation for both the Light and Heavy categories.
Adding further interest in the Junior National category is the fact that there is now a trip to Japan to compete in the All Japan Yamaha SL Final on offer for the youngsters. However, unlike the Clubman category – where the trip will go to the winner of the Challenge – the junior winner will come from a random draw.
All drivers who compete in three rounds will receive one entry into the draw, while any driver who competes in all four rounds will receive two entries into the draw.
With the prizepool for the Yamaha Challenge added to the $40,000 in prizes across the three Pro categories along with the KF engine and IAME Leopard engine in the Australian Leopard Challenge – there is now more than $100,000 in prizes up for grabs in Australia’s elite karting series.
