These Regional Championships minimise the traveling commitment and costs, allowing more competitors to experience the taste and feel of a Championship.  Also, more Clubs have the option of becoming involved allowing them a greater share of the entries and revenue. Racers, who then prove to be good enough, will qualify from the Regions for a one weekend Finals event.

 

These Entries boost  the normal club grids benefiting all, from the Club Driver to the Club itself. e.g.  the Manchester & Buxton club  with 53  ‘0’ plate entries.  i.e. up to  £3,975 extra in race / practice fees,  Larkhall with 35 Series entries ( £ 2,625) ; Glan Y Gors with 19 Series entries
( £ 1,425);  Clay Pigeon, Forest Edge and Buckmore with 53 Series Entries ( £ 3,979)  and of course provides home advantage for the Club members involved.

 

To summarise, the N.K.R.A. promotes, supports and protects Karting not only for the racers, but also the Clubs, without whom Kart Racing would have no base !

 

Enclosed is a 2011 application form.  Please complete, stating your intent, and send it back before 23rd  August 2010,   to enable us to organise the Rounds / Venues and dates for the 2011 Season.   As the Championship has grown so has the involvement of the various regional clubs.  Every effort will be made for the benefit of those clubs who have actively supported & promoted the Championship in 2010.               

Should you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on 01305 774074.


Yours in Sport,          
Ron Shone  (NKRA Chairman)
