Re: 2012 State Championship - GEARBOX KARTS
Is this event Superkarts only or are there other categories racing on the day ?

Re: 2012 State Championship - GEARBOX KARTS
We were the only racing category, with sprints being run on both days.
Re: 2012 State Championship - GEARBOX KARTS
I can list a mile long of things that were done and things that just blew me away beyond my highest levels of expectation.
I saw engine measuring on EVERY SINGLE NGB competitor that took home a trophy, including Stock Honda. Everything just happened so seamless, the event was planned and executed to precesion by many people who actually did work their butts off. The best thing, I bet that not one competitor went home disatisfied with anything across the whole 2 days in regards to the race meeting.
The thing is, talking about it here does no justice, for the people that were there to explain to the people that weren't there would simply sound like an over reaction of hype. Beleive me you can't describe to anyone how good the whole event was, right down to the little detailed things that did stand out.
It is surely a very hard act to follow, the bar has been raised to levels that are WORLD CLASS to any catergory of motorsport looking after their customers (competitors).
The sadest thing for me is that I'll have to wait to next year to hopefully experience it all again.
One thing for sure, not only will you get every person there again but surely the rest of the Superkarting community would not want to miss out on this.
Thank you to all the sponsors, however understand that no money can make up for the efforts off all the soldiers who put this thing together. Such it was that many competitors actually chipped in to help pack up for the organisers from their own free will. The atmosphere and memories is one of long lasting for all.
See you next year and I will ensure my maximum effort to bring in many more customers to experience THE BEST EVER.

Hey Rolf,
Can I ask was it finacially viable for the club to hold a event like this ?
If you got enough numbers would it be possible to run a Superkart only meeting and break up the class's ?

Re: 2012 State Championship - GEARBOX KARTS
My engine was also inspected by 2 separate independants "to be sure to be sure".
On top of that, each Stock Honda ran the ignition module picked out of a bag before racing commenced that was owned by another competitor.

Again, Thank you VSKC. I will not hog this post anymore as there are many other classes and stories to be shared on here from all the others. :) :) :) :) :) :)
Re: 2012 State Championship - GEARBOX KARTS
While we're still doing the sums, last year the event did turn a profit.
Could we do it alone? Of course we could. But it relies on a LOT of support.
Very early plans for next year at this stage....State Title with the hope someone else picks up the Nationals.
But who knows, right now we're WORN out.
;D
Re: 2012 State Championship - GEARBOX KARTS
Not a bad haul for a weekend's work at Phillip Island. Pole position for 125cc open and 125cc Stock Honda, 2nd in 125cc open and 1st in 125cc Stock Honda superkart race meeting.
Thanks to Woodgate Racing for sponsoring 125GB class.
Thanks to GMP Racing products for sponsoring 125cc Stock Honda.
By the way, these are not plastic, they are heavy metal. Awesome work yet again.

I know who uses that word. :D
There will be some sort of excuse why a Superkart Club can make a profit 2 years in a row for such an event otherwise surely he couldn't be "delusional".
Re: 2012 State Championship - GEARBOX KARTS
Three day event.
