THE CIK STARS OF KARTING, WILLOWBANK, 2012:
The 3rd round of the CIK Stars of Karting Series, presented by Castrol EDGE was
held at the Ipswich Kart Club, Willowbank, Queensland. Over 130 Entrants
competed in a variety of classes including three elite categories, Pro Light
(KF1), Pro Gearbox (KF2) and Pro Junior (KF3).
THE PITS:
My first stop at most motorsport events, Go Kart Pit Areas are
just as high tech as any other form of motorsport, excepting everything is down
sized and by that very nature somewhat more intricate mechanical set-ups were
noted.

HISTORIC AND MODERN KARTS:
Interesting to compare historic
and modern Karts, a display 'side by side' certainly indicated the improvements
in overall design, particularly obvious were the brakes, electronics and the
'graphics'!
HISTORIC KARTS:
These Karts have been fully
restored for show purposes.
