KAWARTHA DURHAM KART CLUB: Race #9 Report and new track photo gallery

FRASERVILLE, ON - A huge thank you to our race day sponsor, Mike Adams of MG Tires for providing sets of 4-stroke tires to 6 lucky KDKC members. Marlie Owens, Andre Fiorini, Bailey Brown, Dennis Woods, Quinn Dewsbury and Nic Lauzon will have no excuses for keeping it on the track at the next race on September 13. Also, many thanks to Shirley Cornacchia of Dundee Private Investments, Bradford for providing prizes that will be given out during the remainder of the season.

The new paving at Kawartha Speedway provided the drivers with fast corners before and after the start/ finish straight and many racers expressed their enjoyment once they figured out the best braking zones and turn-in points. With reducing radius corners and blind apex points, the new sections will challenge all racers and will help to increase the racing ability of the club’s members and visitors alike.

Those that attended the race in preparation for the upcoming BSRKC event will have a definite advantage. Teams came from as far away as Point Pelee and there was a large group from WKC in attendance. According to Pro-Shifter Giles Gallie, who did a fantastic job “drifting” around the high banks of Kawartha, the new length of the KDKC track is over 1km long.

The novice class once again was as exciting to watch as any race with passing throughout the field and huge smiles after the finish. Shannonville winner, Andre Fiorini once again dominated the class followed by Cole McFadden in his ProAuto kart and Bailey Brown in third.

Danny Benedict took top spot in Junior Heavy ahead of Jaike Haywood, while Bailey Jacobs came out on top in Junior Light followed by Ayrton Wakfer and new member Gaelen Palleske scoring his first podium in only his second race ever.

The Senior light winner was Kyle Hope and AJ Emms finished first just ahead of Kevin Barry and Dennis Woods in Senior Heavy.

You could throw a blanket over the top three at the line with Carl Thompson winning the Masters race by a nose in front of Quinn Dewsbury and John Beck.

Visiting driver Ethan Livingston won the Jr. Rotax class and Matthew Radaelli won in Senior Rotax. The driver to watch at next weekends BSRKC will be young Mr. Grant Quinlan in Mini-Max who showed everyone how fast, composed and determined he really is.

The next race for the Kawartha Durham Kart Club will be Sunday, September 13.
