Sutton, ON – The Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship (BSRKC) is ready for their fifth season of Ontario regional competition. With their opening round set for this weekend at 3-S Go Karts in Sutton, it will be the first of an eight weekend series that has split its events into two unique weekends, dividing the two stroke and four stroke classes. The Indy Racing League® continues to recognize the series as part of Brian Stewart Racing’s involvement in the Firestone Indy Lights™ series. All Rotax races are qualifiers for the Rotax Max Challenge Series and the Canadian National Championships.
Highlighting the schedule will be the joint 2 cycle and 4 cycle events where all twelve official classes will convene at both Leamington and Shannonville. After a one year hiatus, the BSRKC series returns to Leamington and the Point Pelee Karting track where the combined classes and the close proximity to the United States are two more reasons sure to draw large fields. The legendary ‘Bear Hunt’ at Shannonville Motorsport Park will no doubt surpass its success as last year’s show almost topped 500 entries over the three day event.
As mentioned, the four cycle classes will kick off their schedule this weekend in Sutton. From there they will take a six week break before back-to-back weekend events in Leamington and Flamborough. After taking part in the ‘Bear Hunt’ on the August 1st long weekend, the four cycles will complete their quest for the Stewart Cup in late August at Innisfil. This year’s official Honda classes are: Novice, Jr. Light, Jr. Heavy, Sr. Light, Sr. Heavy and Masters.
The two stroke classes will kick off their schedule next weekend at Kawartha Speedway before the series heads to Innisfil. The Innisfil Indy has made significant improvements to their venue and returns to the series for the first time since its inauguration in 2006. The following two events will be in Leamington and Shannonville, before ending their season in Sutton on September 18 and 19. This year’s official classes for the two stroke weekends are: Rotax Mini-Max, Rotax Junior, Rotax Senior, Rotax DD2, ICC/Moto Shifter and include the Honda Jr. Medium.
The jam-packed season will keep the series just as exciting as ever. Both the Simcoe Kart Club and the Waterloo Regional Kart Club maintain their status as the two organizing clubs backed by an exceptional group of officials, volunteers and members together with a long list of very generous sponsors that guarantee their success.
This Sunday’s event is sponsored by Aim Sports (USA) & Mike McKnight, 401 Dixie Nissan/Infiniti & Peter Geer, KnK Karts North America & Kevin Barrick and Autosports Media Group & Tony Ventresca. Mr. Stewart will be at the track to observe the racing. He will also be awarding the trophies, presenting the cheques and drawing all of the prizes. Autosports Media Group’s Cody Schindel will be on site Saturday and Sunday taking pictures to capture the excitement. He will also present the fast qualifiers with their AMG gift certificates.
