SUNDAY 19th May 2013, Toowoomba Kart Club

Thanks to the support of Cook The Books facebook group, Round 4 of the 2013 TKC championship was the biggest race meet for some time with around 90 entries. Five rounds of racing for each class came close to being completed, however a wild ride for Trent Harders in the exciting TAG Light final saw the meeting declared. We all wish Trent a speedy recovery with plenty of bruises & a broken collarbone.
