press release

Gladstone Kart Club held their Qld Open Titles Shakedown meeting over the weekend in preparation for the real thing on 6th - 8th April.

Nominations for the meet was 94 which, while lower than anticipated, was understandable as the weather forecast was showers/storms - showers.

Thankfully that didn't eventuate and dry racing was the order of the weekend. Feedback from both drivers and officials was that this meeting was highly successful and actually a pleasure to be involved with.
