Update: VSKC now six rounds
Another round has been added to the calendar...at Wakefield Park! So the Lagler/Timbermate Products team gets to travel to Goulburn, home of a 97-tonne Sheep.
Despite Victoria having four road race circuits, Superkarts can only use two, only five times, hence needing an interstate venue. I am only guessing here, but the reasons might be;
- Sandown is mostly a horse racing track, which limits the amount of car racing. Apparently if you do both at the same time the horses get scared
- Calder Park is owned by Bob Jane, who likes being rebellious and not running under CAMS. I rang Calder to enquire about practice and they said they were "not set up" for superkarts. Funny- they're set up for much bigger and heavier things, why not karts? Must be the bumps.

Sure it needs some weight trimmed and a new aero package but we may be competitive at Wakefield...
Anyway, that's all good, the more circuits the merrier. Here is the remaining calendar for 2006:
June 24/25- Mallala, SA- National Championships
July 15th- Phillip Island, Vic State Championships
September 3rd- Winton, Vic State Championships
October 28/29- Wakefield Park NSW, Vic State Championships
