DKA Championship Round 4 - 5th May 2012

Round 4 of the 2012 season for the Darwin Karting Association began under patchy clouds and bursts of sunshine at the Hidden Valley Karting complex on Saturday afternoon/evening on the 5th May.

Having the greatest of time in the conditions were the midgies who were feasting as if it were the last supper, however for the assembled categories of racers it was race time and further tuning for the upcoming Australian Titles in July.

All sections were again represented with a carburettor session initially to help dial in before greeting the timers with qualifying laps to determine starting positions.

Ryan Roman was to take overall honours in the Cadets section ahead of Keelan Edwards and Eloise Avery. Kasey Fullwood had her colours lowered in the Rookie section with Jordan Smith winning the class ahead of Fullwood and Thomas Lamb third overall.

Brodie Green is still enjoying his purple patch in the absence of Bryce Fullwood. Green continued his domination to take out Junior National Lights ahead of Nathan Norman and Thomas Maxwell. Green not so happy after copping the wrath of his dad, Steve, after messing up the new colour scheme in the carby warm up session !

Jake Smith held sway in the Junior National Heavy section with Kyle Wiseman second and Connor Luck home in third placing.

Michael Moore lead home the Clubman Lights ahead of Kevin Norman and Denny Nott whilst Royce Nott claimed the champagne in the Clubman Heavies with Darren Chilton and Kial Hanson rounding out the minor placings.

Kevin Ledwidge was seeing red after being turned around by Joshua Page in race 1 for the Tag 125 Light section. David O’Dowd kept a clean sheet to win the section ahead of Tim Driscoll and Page home for third.

Rounding out the divisions for Meeting 4 was Bryan Dowling leading home the charge in the Tag Restricted Lights ahead of Alan Pearson and Jaden Pearson.

DKA Championship Round 2 - 31st March 2012

Round 2 of the 2012 season for the Darwin Karting Association commenced in bright sunshine for the 54 warriors assembled to resume battle at the Hidden Valley Karting complex on Saturday afternoon/evening on the 31st March.

Whilst a contrast in weather from Round 1 the heat and humidity were high with many sweaty red faces beavering away in the pit area.
8 sections were again represented in racing with young Harrison Avery dominating the field in the Cadets section in a clean sweep ahead of Keelan Edwards and Eloise Avery filling 3rd spot for the family on the podium.

Lachlan Chilton scored a narrow overall points victory over Lachlan Burt in the Rookie section with Kasey Fullwood claiming 3rd position. Fullwood, by her own lofty standards, had a somewhat off night by her account of proceedings.

With Bryce Fullwood absent in Queensland preparing for the QLD Titles, Brodie Green was left to run amock at the head of the field in the Junior National Lights to dominate ahead of Thomas Maxwell and Matthew Sealy. In the Junior National Heavy’s it was Jake Smith to claim victory over Kyle Wiseman and Connor Luck.

The charge of the Light and Heavy brigade in the Clubman Lights and Heavies saw traffic conditions akin to that on Bagot Road at 7.30am on a Monday morning. Disappearing into the distance was again Michael Moore with Magdelaine Breed no far behind to make a contest of the round this time, with Kevin Norman chipping in for 3rd overall.
Royce Nott cleaned up in the Heavy section with Darren Chilton 2nd and Daniel Ferry 3rd.

Bryan Dowling was the section winner in the Tag Restricted Light with Alan Pearson and Jaden Pearson rounding out the minor placings. In the Tag 125 Light section it was Tim Driscoll streaking away from Joshua Page and Brett Slade.

DKA Championship Round 1 - 17th March 2012

The season opener for Round 1 of the Darwin Karting Association was greeted with inclement skies with all eyes on the heavens at the Hidden Valley go-kart track during the late afternoon and early evening.

All off season activities ceased with the focus now on resuming hostilities back on the track with preparation now well underway for the running of the 50th Australian National Sprint Championships from the 6th - 8th July 2012 in Darwin.

A reasonably good turnout of up to 43 competitors over 9 classes greeted the starters for Round 1 for a series of qualifying, 2 heat races, a pre-final and the final.

The usual suspects were out to impress with rising star Bryce Fullwood clearly dominating the Junior National Light division with a clean sweep. Fullwood, fresh back from claiming a 4th spot finish at the Victorian Championships recently, began in sparkling form in Heat 1 which ended looking more like a “drifting” competition when a sudden outburst from the heavens dampened the track. Nathan Norman and Thomas Maxwell rounded out the minor placings for the night.

Michael Moore was also in the mood to lead the field in the Clubman Light section taking overall points from the heats and finals. Magdelaine Breed provided stiff competition to Moore along with Mark Eyre and Sarah Driscoll.
Royce Nott, stepping up into the Clubman Heavy ranks, also showed a clean set of heels to fellow competitors in that section ahead of Darren Chilton and Robert Dunstan.

Kasey Fullwood completed a good night out for the Fullwood family with honours in the Rookie section ahead of Jordan Smith and Reece Webster.
Tim Driscoll led home the charge in the Tag 125 Light brigade from Joshua Page and Brett Jenkin.

Next meeting is the Club Championship Round 2 on the 31st March.
