CIK Stars of Karting Round 1 Newcastle NSW

Stan — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:17:39 +0000

The first round of the CIK Stars of Karting Series was hosted by the Newcastle Kart Club last weekend. The event attracted competitors from across Australia who put on some first class racing over the weekend.

Pierce Lehane again shone in his CRG chassis and was untouchable all weekend. He literally drove away from the opposition.

The other star of the meet was Kel Tresseder who raced his CRG Road Rebel chassis. In his first outing in the new chassis he was most unfortunate to miss out on a win in the KZ2 class by only 3/100ths of a second. The saving grace was that he was at least beaten by our favorite man, Matt Wall, who apparently went to sleep in the last couple of hundred metres from the finish line.

2010 Victorian Open Karting State Championships

Stan — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 04:15:25 +0000

Our sincere best wishes and congratulations for a job well done to the following CRG pilots at this year’s Victorian Open Championships.

An absolutely fantastic effort by all the race pilots and their crews; out of 304 entries only 13 were competitors racing CRG, of which 9 finished up on the podium. Fantastic!

The saddest story of the Championships was perhaps that of Midget pilot, Alexander Peroni of Tasmania. Having gone into the lead on the last lap, he approached the chequered flag with only clear air between him and the finish line. Then with only 10 metres to go the chain snapped on his kart resulting in Alex missing out on the championship by only 3/100ths of a second.

In another display of dominance of the Formula JMA class, Pierce Lehane driving his CRG Black Diamond chassis qualified fastest. He then proceeded to win every heat including the pre-final and final. At the conclusion of racing, Pierce thanked his Mum and Dad for all their support and especially his Dad for his ability to prepare such a brilliant race package.

In the Rotax Heavy class the Pringle brothers were again in a winning frame of mind. Having their first competition since the Christmas / New Year break, they simply took over from where they left last year, which is the pointy end of the field. This time Jason Pringle came out victorious with his brother Rick finishing in third place.
