Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship 2006 Series Calendar and Classes |
|
January 6, 2005 The Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship is entering its 5th consecutive season and we are pleased to announce the schedule and classes for 2006. During the latter half of the 2005 season, Series principals discussed the future of the Series with many participants including sponsors, parents, drivers, mechanics, track owners and officials. High on the list of suggestions for improvements were the costs of racing (chassis, engines, tires, maintenance), the format of the races, provision for a "hot" pit lane, a class for younger drivers and the condition of the facilities at which the participants compete. The Formula Junior 80cc shifter class has dropped from popularity in North America and in its place we have added the F1K 125 Junior class. The F1K 125 Senior class has been added to augment the class structure for senior level drivers. As stated, our research identified a desire from our participants to include a spec class for "Cadets" and in response we have chosen the F1K 60cc package to satisfy the request. "We have increased the number of classes from 9 to 10 in a package for our racers that we believe will satisfy many of the requests that we received, and as more details are released in the coming weeks, we believe that 2006 will be another exciting season for karters in our Championship", said Series officials.
