This month in Karting Great days racing Club Day in August with weather holding up. For all new juniors there is a VKA Junior Development Camp at Oakleigh Race- way. This camp is a must for all new and existing Midgets, Rookies and Juniors. They have great guest speakers and instructors to help the kids learn about driving style, racing lines, starting, overtaking, rules, and also they discuss diet, exercise etc. For $70 per participant for a 2 day program I think it’s great value. The Junior Development Camp is on Monday 26th & Tuesday 27th September at Oakleigh. I will be there to help.

I have requested that they put this in writing to the office. State Publicity – Karting on the Today show (CIK event) during the week. This was a great promotion for Karting. Agenda items: Item 1. For August meeting. Portland Kart Club. The Portland and District Karting Club wish to have the following item added to the agenda of the August delegates general meeting for discussion. “Abolishment of the requirement to offer or run the only the single class 125 Open Sportsman at race meetings”. Portland along with the 5 other clubs that organize and have run the very popular and successful Victorian Country Series over the last 6 years, we feel that the limiting the open class 125’s to a single class will not only reduce to numbers of karters attending these events but also drive the cost to the karters higher, as certain engines will perform better at certain tracks. We have and continue to have good support from the karters that choose to race single motor classes such as Leopard and Rotax as standalone classes, all drivers surveyed at the recent meeting indicated that if they were required to race in the Open Sportsman class they would typically not turn up. All drivers talked indicated to ensure numbers remain viable for the class to be raced as single engines classes they would much rather run at Pro weight rather than race multiple engines classes. Signed: Neville Tapscott. Club Delegate PDKC. Delegates discussed the above item. General Business: Warnambool Kart Club delegate. Spoke on the teleconference for the meetings and said that it was great and saved a lot of travel and money. We just need to consider a way to include those on line during the meetings and also when items need to be voted on by ballot paper. These could be sent into the VKA office in a sealed envelope and given to the scrutineer at time of voting or before meeting? Teleconference has been having other people coming across the line. They will work it out. Department of Justice would not allow AKA to change it’s name. We are still know as AKA. Agenda items for this meeting 8th September, 2001: Item 1: Presentation in regards to prevention of a Stroke. Item 2: 2012 Race calendar.
