The QLD Superkartclub has been invited to the Shannons national round to be held at Morgan Park on the 8th and 9 th of August. This will be the first Superkart event on the new extended Track. Now this date is 3 weeks after the Nationals on July 18/19th and 3 weeks before our club round at the end of August. After this we have no racing till very late in the year in QLD. We at the club are fairly sure to commit to this event as we feel is a very postive step for Superkarts. If anybody from outside QLD feel that they may also make this event can they contact our club or leave a message here as we are going through the numbers prelim stage at the moment. I know it is a conjested time of year and feel it is more important to do the national series event if you are deciding between the two of course but we are going to give it a good shot and aim for 20-25 enteries.
Regards
Cameron

Also this meeting will be the trial meeting to see if National Championship Events ca be run at Morgan Pk. In 2010 we are hopefull that the webmaster Nationals might go to 3 rounds for gearbox webmasters and include Morgan Pk as 1 of the 3.

Re: Shannons National Series Morgan Park Aug 8th/9th
This meeting is programmed to be the first meeting on the new track extention. Thats right, time to set new lap records. T.V also looks to be secured for the event so its all happening.
The new track density will be 40 I am told. There will be a big chance that the event will go above this when the entries are released. That won't be for a while yet but keep watching this space for further updates.
Re: Shannons National Series Morgan Park Aug 8th/9th
With the track upgrade to 3.1km the track density will be about 44 I am told so entries will be limited. Watch this forum for more updates as they come to hand.
Re: Shannons National Series Morgan Park Aug 8th/9th
Entry forms will be released in the next few weeks.Dont forget that the entries are limitied to the track density. Motels are also starting to fill up so you might want to make a booking if you intend coming to this event.
Re: Shannons National Series Morgan Park Aug 8th/9th
Television and naming rights sponsor for this event will be released shortly.
Book your accomodation early.

Re: Shannons National Series Morgan Park Aug 8th/9th
Please note the following.
1. Entries close Tuesday July 14.
2. Supp Regs
The Supplementary Regulations have been prepared and are waiting CAMS approval. They should be distributed early next week.
3. Friday Practice
The Friday practice sessions will be run by the Warwick & Districts Sporting Car Club, but the procedures will be the same as all Shannon's Nationals rounds. That is, Friday Practice is optional for drivers, and they will need to sign on/pay directly to the WDSCC before going on track. The cost will be $80.00 (inclusive of GST) per car.
4. Schedule
The schedule is in final draft form and will be circulated shortly…most likely early next week.
5. Fuel
Fuel will not be available at the track, so competitors will need to bring their own fuel. As a requirement of the QFRS all cars will only be able to store 60ltr per bay, however a temporary bunded area will be provided for additional fuel storage.
6. Thursday Night Promotion
As part of the lead-up marketing activity we have arranged for a static display in front of the Warwick Town Hall (in a busy shopping area) from 5pm until 7pm Thursday night. We will require each category to provide one car for the display. This is very close to the Centrepoint Midcity Motel which is our prefered Motel for webmasterers.
7. Public Ticket Prices
Saturday: $15.00
Sunday: $30.00
Weekend: $35.00
Children U14 Free
Additional Team Weekend Passes: $20.00 (pre-purchased).
8. Pit Bay Carports & Marquees
There are 80 powered carports and for various reasons decisions have already been made on which categories will occupy the carports, and what arrangements need to be made for the other categories.
Arrangements are being made for powered marquees which will be located in the paddock area. Cost is not confirmed at this point but should know soon.
