Another batch of Tasmanian Karters hit the high seas this week chasing championship glory. Eight drivers from across the island state head for the prestigious Junior Sprint Classic held annually at the Eastern Lions Kart Club in country Victoria for what is one of the biggest junior race meetings in Australia.
