On Sunday November 29 at its fall meeting, the Innisfil Kart Club (IKC) elected a new Board of Directors. They are: President - Scott Lethbridge; Vice President - Jay Hewitt; Treasurer - Elizabeth Woodbridge; Secretary - Judy Slack; Race Director - Martin Woodbridge. Other Board members are Charlie Campbell, John Kacsala, Frank Launi and Mark Learn. The Board comes in with over 60 years of experience in racing from Open Wheel, Stock Car and Kart racing.
As 2009 comes to a close we are already working hard on the 2010 season and we are very excited about our plans. We will have new race formats that will create more track time and offer different challenges to the drivers with greater rewards. We are also looking at ways to reduce the costs involved with racing.
Just how excited are we about next season, well for starters we are very proud to announce that for the Senior Divisions, the champions will win a full day with NASCAR Canadian Tire Series driver Mark Dilley at the new high banks of Sunset International Speedway in a 400 HP Limited Late model Stock car.
In other Innisfil club news, it was announced at the fall meeting that Tony Launi will be repaving the track and all new curbing will also be done. The paving will be completed in the spring of 2010 along with the curbing. This is great news for IKC members and all drivers that take to the track next year. It will create some very exciting racing at Innisfil Indy.
Registration for the 2010 season will be $75.00 until February 17, 2010 and $100.00 after that date so register soon. Innisfil Indy is offering a special deal of $400.00 for a season of practice until January 1, 2010 after that the price goes up to $550.00 for a season pass.
The IKC board would like a new logo so we are having a contest for our members past and present so submit your ideas to us. The winning design will be used as our logo and the winner will receive a prize. The due date will be December 28, 2009 so get your entries in to us soon. Please send it to info@innisfilkartclub.ca.
We at IKC have an agenda and will stick to it. Our goal is to be the Place to Race in 2010. This is just the first of many exciting announcements so keep an eye on us in the coming weeks and months for more great news at Innisfil Kart Club.
We believe there must be consistency and organization for any club to run well and we are determined to provide that. A schedule must be kept and rulings consistent for all. We will have tech and they will not be involved with any team competing at IKC . We are still looking for a starter and again this position can only be done by a neutral party. We want to make sure all who come to IKC to race have great time. A rule book will be printed and followed and apply to everyone who races at IKC.
We would like to thank the outgoing board of directors for their time and hard work and wish them all the best.
