CKL this week…….Merry Christmas…and some news!

First, thanks to all that showed up at the 2nd annual banquet...good time was had by all. Thanks to Ron Fellows, Chris Bye, and Bill Vallis for all their support. Also thanks to Honda Canada for their support and to all the staff that helped out. 

Congrats are in order to Matt Garwood, who was the winner of the Franczak FV1200 drive for 2012 with Vallis Motor Sport. 

Merry Christmas to all, and some of you are probably still scratching your head as to what to get for presents this year. Might I suggest a 2012 CKL Membership. We have gift certificates available so you have something to put under the tree....(we also have a few lease karts left, but at last count, I  think 21 have signed up so far.) 

Looking forward to 2012, we have renewed contracts with both tracks and will be racing arrive and drive at both, and Pro Series at Innisfil Indy. 

Pro Series Update

Cadets:

Cadets will be able to run a Honda 5.5 GX160 or a Honda 6.5 GX200. The difference will be the weights, but you will all run together. The weights are: 5.5 is 230lbs, and the 6.5 will be 272lbs (kart and driver) each hp is pushing along 41.81lbs. 

All classes:

We have decided to allow a header exhaust that can be fitted to all Pro Series karts. Innisfil Indy will have the headers available, and it is optional to use -- use it if you like. The idea is that some of the junior and senior drivers have issues with the placement of the stock muffler, and this header will solve that. The header is louder than the stock muffler -- it also gets hotter (Elias!).

Suits

We will have Pro Series suits available to anyone that would like a new suit. We are just about to place a 'test' order as it is a new supplier. If you would like one of the first ones, send me your suit size. 

BIG NEWS FOR CENTENNIAL PARK

There is new management at Centennial Park, and they have invited us back for 2012, and there will be paving done in the spring to smooth out the track. This is great news, but they tell us it won't be finished until probably early May.

Also, the times have changed for Centennial Park, we will race on Saturday Mornings -- we have to be done by noon for concession karts to begin. Also we will race either Monday or Wednesday night. 

Hope you all have a great holidays, and look forward to seeing you all next year.
