09/12/20 - Happy Holidays from the Point Pelee Karting Club

Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this with family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space.

Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year to all the families, friends and sponsors of the Point Pelee Karting Club.

09/12/02 - 2010 Florida Winter Tour Honda GX Cup information

A note from Bill Wright, promoter of the Florida Winter Tour:

Hello all,

Official FWT Honda GX Cup information can now be found in the Formula kart Class Info section at the FWT web site.

http://www.floridawintertour.com/2010-fwt-info/class-information/fkr-classes.html

Technical information can be found in the Formula Kart Rules and Regulations section.

http://www.floridawintertour.com/2010-fwt-info/rules-and-regulations/155-fk-rules-and-regulations.html

Note that we intend to run the Senior and Masters together and score them seperately. However, if the combined classes exceed 34 karts we will provide seperate classes for each category.

Also note that registration for the Honda GX classes will open on December 15th. Remember that we must have 12 in a class on February first or we could drop the class. Based on the response so far I don't think that's going to be a problem!

I want to again thank BSRKC, Mike Preston, Mike Adams, Lynda and Enzo Chiovitti, Lon Herder, Robin McLean and everyone who has been involved. With your continued support I think we'll expose a really great and affordable form of racing to the FWT participants and businesses.

I want to offer a special THANK YOU to Luis and Wagner from WR International for providing a seat on the 2010 FWT Granja Team for one lucky Honda GX Senior or Masters competitor. Just to remind everyone, the Points Champion of the class with the highest number of entries will be the driver who goes to Brasil!

To be added to the FWT Honda GX mailing list send an email with your name, class and kart number request to info@formulakart.com.

I look forward to seeing you all soon.

09/30/09 - PPKC Announces the Ultimate Karting Championship

**UPDATE: The cost is now $50.00 a driver
The Point Pelee Karting Club again makes news as they launch the first annual Ultimate Karting Championship to be held on Saturday October 17th. Following a successful night race, and simulated rain race, his final event of the 2009 season will feature long distance enduro style races in several classes with times ranging from thirty minutes to two hours. Point Pelee, Canada's southern most point, boasts great fall weather and maybe the last best chance for karters to run in 2009.

"Our commitment this year was to bring back some excitement to karting in the Windsor area," comments Point Peele Kart Club President Todd Quinlan. "The Ultimate Kart Championship is another example of a fun race and something we haven't seen before in our area."

Like the UFC, drivers in the Ultimate Karting Championship will battle to the end for world (or at least Ontario) domination. The program will feature classes for all ages and includes such names as Feather Weight and Welter Weight, giving the event that real knock'em out, drag'em out feel. In fact the trophy for the winner is named Battle for the Belt. Cash prizes will be awarded to all classes.
