When the complete points earned are calculated, Dempsey now leads Joel Miller by five points, 354 to 349. The best 11 of each driver’s 12 races count for the championship, however. With the one drop Dempsey is again on top, leading John Edwards by three points, 337 to 334. The championship will come down to the last race, as unofficially the current top seven still have a shot. That includes two other Andersen Racing drivers: Charles Hall and Tom Gladdis. m-o-r-e Andersen Racing’s Dempsey Wins Sunday/Page 2 of 6 To date Dempsey has won more races than any other driver in the series, as he’s been triumphant four times. Edwards has three victories. Andersen Racing’s Hall and Gladdis have one victory each, as does Miller. Andersen Racing, which was won six of the 10 races run so far this year, leads the team point standings by 77 points over JDC Motorsports, 318 to 241.

  • We Celebrate One of the Great Racing Car Constructors
    LOLA AT 60 WE CELEBRATE ONE OF THE GREAT RACING CAR CONSTRUCTORS Including FROM BROADLEY TO BIRRANE GREATEST CARS LOLA’S SECRET WEAPON THE AUDI CHALLENGER The success of the Mk1 sports-racer, usually powered by the Coventry Climax 1100cc FWA engine, brought Lola Cars into existence. It overshadowed the similar e orts of Lotus boss Colin Chapman and remained competitive for several seasons. We believe it is one of designer Eric Broadleyʼs greatest cars, so turn to page 16 to see what our resident racer made of the original prototype at Donington Park. Although the coupe is arguably more iconic, the open version of the T70 was more successful. Developed in 1965, the Group 7 machine could take a number of di erent V8 engines and was ideal for the inaugural Can-Am contest in ʼ66. Champion John Surtees, Dan Gurney and Mark Donohue won races during the campaign, while Surtees was the only non-McLaren winner in ʼ67. The big Lola remains a force in historic racing. JEP/PETCH COVER IMAGES: JEP/PETCH IMAGES: COVER J BLOXHAM/LAT Contents 4 The story of Lola How Eric Broadley and Martin Birrane Celebrating a led one of racing’s greatest constructors 10 The 10 greatest Lolas racing legend Mk1?

  • Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club 10
    Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club 10 www.ogkrc.com.au August 20 From the Editor- Hi Members and welcome to Track Chat. Firstly, I am no professional when it comes to computers as you can probably already tell. Secondly, I am no photographer either, and my little digital camera is no match for something like the one Andrew Daley would have used in previous years for photos in this publication. (Pleeeeeease come back Andrew!!) So please, if you have any decent pics you want published, be it from club day, another race meeting you have been to recently, or just about anything to do with karts, (or motorsport in general), then send them to me so everyone can have a look at them. Likewise, if you have any stories from race meetings you have attended and you want to tell everyone about it, send it over and I am sure I can make room!! Remember Track Chat is for you the member, not me, and I don’t have enough racing stories to keep you all interested for very long at all. So if you want to see yourself in Track Chat, I suggest you email [email protected] with all your goodies!! For this edition you will have to make do with very little, until all those pics and stories come flooding in!! See you at the track! From the President- Like me, you will be happy to see that Track chat has returned. Special thanks to Mick Fisher for driving this – please keep him overloaded with information and photos.
