Have you just started in karting or have watched other karters pass you like you are standing still, then read on.

If you are some one who is keen to start racing, then read on.

If you have a Kart or equipment that you want to sell, then read on.

The Launceston Kart Club is having a tuition day on 26 June at 10:00am at the Archerville Race Track. This will also be a good time to sell your old Kart or equipment.

The LKC has organised with the local dealers (Arrow, Intrepid & CRG) to learn how to set your Kart up by the experts. If you have another make help will be on hand. We will also have some experienced drivers who will help you in your race craft and to get that perfect line around the corner.

You will need all the normal gear you take to a race meeting including your license.

We will provide a sausage sizzle, tea and coffee and cordial.

This is a free event to help you the karter meet your needs.

After three years, Mark Mitchell is hanging up his promotions manager hat due to other commitments.

The Club needs to find a replacement for this vital task, as we need a promotions manager to co-ordinate the advertising and liaise with sponsors.

We call on each of our Club members to carefully consider giving something back to the Club and volunteering to fill this very important position in the Club.

We need club members to assist in organising the State Titles in November. The club is forming a committee for this purpose.

The first meeting will be held at the Riverview Hotel on Wednesday 11 May at 7:30pm. We urge all members who can to attend to ensure that the State Titles this year are a great success.

The Another Computer Store Senior National Feature including the Phillip Goss Memorial for Over 40's Pro is being held at the Archerville Circuit on Sunday 8th May 2011.

This is a huge opportunity for a young Tasmanian to gain recognition and hopefully a beginning to fulfil his ambition of pursuing a career in international motor racing, and your attendance at this function would go a long way in achieving this objective.

There will be special prizes auctioned on the night and the draw of the Team Mitchell raffle.

Important notice to all karters from the State Licencing Officer

We are running out of numbers in the licencing system to allocate to new (and sometimes current) drivers.

Many driver records show two or more racing classes, with a number allocated to each class.

Please log in to http://app.austkarting..com.au/aka/member,
enter your identity (licence) number and password and check your racing classes.

If you no longer race a particular class please let Marlene Madden know by either:

email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
phone 6239 0296, or
mobile 041 888 4340
 
Your attention to this matter will help toward reducing the doubling-up of numbers in races and make it easier to allocate numbers to all drivers in the future.
