DKoA Australian dirt kart titles recap.
We packed up and headed for Loxton Kart Club Thursday last week.
Practice was good with interstate drivers being given 3 laps each direction prior to the first heat being run on Friday afternoon.
Emmett started out of 19th in heat 1, unfortunately got tangled up in the 1st corner with a couple of other karts but got to restart, then went for a pass on a slow kart into turn 1 on the restart and got caught up again resulting in a DNF.
Saturday, Heat 2 he started out of P1 and was going well amongst some really great drivers and fast karts but gave the windrow a bit of a kiss and spun out resulting in another DNF.
Heat 3 he started out of 10th, finally a good heat race and finished 15th.
Sunday, heat 4 started out of P10 and finished P14.
Unfortunately due to the 2 DNF’s on Saturday the finals were out of our reach so our weekend was done, so we sat back and watched Jammo battle it out in the finals.
An amazing weekend full of new experiences for everybody. Well done to the the team at Loxton Dirt kart club, you guys should hold your heads high, the huge amount of work that’s been poured into the track and club is a testiment to an amazing club.
Thanks for the weekend Nick Monti and Jammo!

Friday 24th we packed up the team and headed for the Yorke peninsula dirt kart club to have a crack at the peninsula cup 2 day race meet.
Saturday saw the chief pilot excited to jump in the kart for a run around a new track that he’s never seen.
The track looked fantastic and did not disappoint! The track crew did an amazing job all day keep it on point!!!
We had a few issues with a dead spot under acceleration from the green flag drop, but think we sorted it by the end of the day thanks to L7 race team for the carby kit.
Sunday saw a bit of a weather delay firstly with fog that wouldn’t let up. We got one heat almost done before the rain came along and held things up a bit more and certainly made it interesting for the final heat and the clean up later on!!!

Heat 3 P8 - P9
Heat 4 P4 - P10

Sunday
Heat 5 P1 - P4
