Red Plates For Five Launceston Karters


LKC promotion 13 September 2016

The Launceston Kart Club held the final round of the 2016 Andrew Walter Constructions Tasmanian Statewide Series on the weekend with five locals taking home the coveted red plates.

The series, which is held over 4 rounds at each of the state's kart clubs, culminated  on the weekend with intense battles throughout the 15 classes on offer.

KA4 Junior Light was won by Tate Frost who simply was too quick for his opposition and completed his third straight clean sweep. In fact Frost, who missed the opening round, won every race in rounds 2, 3 and 4 to secure the Red Plate.

In KA4 Junior Heavy Connor Griffin backed up his 2015 series win with another Red Plate. Griffin won three of the four rounds and held a handy 34 point lead heading into the final round and increased this to 87 points by the final.

Jackson Callow was the class act in the KA3 Junior field winning 10 races and taking two round victories on his way to the statewide series title. Callow's 160 points gap over second was the largest of any of the classes on offer.

TaG 125 Light was won by  Nathan Zuj who must now have enough red plates to hold a dinner party with. Zuj surprisingly though won this one on consistency after claiming just the one round win in round two at the North Western Kart Club. Zuj however was never off the podium in all four rounds.

Whilst Zuj was collecting red plate number 7, Alastair Lee claimed his first Red Plate in winning TaG 125 Heavy. Lee scored 2 round victories and a second to claim his maiden Tasmanian Statewide Series Title.

Launceston Kart Club Promotions Officer Stuart Lee said that the, in all, 15 Launceston Kart Club members secured podium places in the series which was the most of any of the Tasmania clubs.
