CIK Stars of Karting at Geelong, Friday practice summary from the Series Website.

While the ambient temperature struggled to rise above the mid-teens throughout today’s practice, competitors in the CIK Stars of Karting Series presented by Castrol showed that this weekend’s action in Geelong is set to be sizzling.

Despite changing teams in between rounds, Dutchman Joey Hanssen (31.480) set the fastest time of the day aboard his new Shamick Racing CRG in the Pro Gearbox (KZ2) ranks. Second fastest was Hanssen’s new team-mate Matthew Wall (31.566). Third fastest was John Grother (31.605) ahead of Energy stablemate Troy Bretherton (31.648).

In the Pro Light (KF) ranks, Pierce Lehane marked his return to KF racing with the Redspeed team in style by setting the fastest time in the category. The dual Pro Junior (KFJ) Champion set a fastest time of 32.070 seconds with Harrington Doyle Racing’s Brooke Topp second fastest with a 32.133 second circulation.

Formula K driver Callum Walker was the one to catch in the Pro Junior (KFJ) ranks as he chases his maiden podium finish in the category. The Queenslander’s time of 33.122 seconds was closely followed by Damon Strongman (33.153) and Chris Sandrone (33.170).

In the Dunlop Kartsport TaG 125 categories it was Dean Foster (Light) and Rick Pringle who showed the way.

Qualifying will begin at 9am tomorrow followed by the heat races in the afternoon. The finals will be contested on Sunday.
