The Board of Directors

Dual Permit Events

As I am sure you all know, NatSKA has been looking to organise race meetings in conjunction with MSA club meetings. This idea was first discussed at an ABKC meeting and followed up afterwards, with team leaders at our AGM giving their approval. We have spoken to clubs and to date, three have expressed an interest for this year and arrangements have been finalised with two clubs and three circuits as follows:

MBKC (GYG and Three Sisters, Wigan)

Please note there will be no requirement for teams to provide officials, marshals or scrutineers as MBKC will supply them.

GYG

Dates – 13th & 14th May 2006

Please note that all karts operating in the NatSKA races must conform to the NatSKA 2006 rulebook. If competitors wish to race in the MSA club race must conform to the MSA ABKC rules pertaining to that class and be scrutineered to that standard.

Wigan

Camberley 4th March 2006

Well the first meeting of 2006 got underway without to many hitches. The weather while sunny was cold, with a couple of snow flurries during the day. We had some very good racing in all the classes and it has been decide to start to award a special trophy to the novice classes, with the MSA steward deciding on the most improved novice of the day. The first recipient to receive this award was Jamie Handley (Class 11 No 53) of 1165 ATC Squadron.

I would like to thank all those who helped throughout the day. With special thanks to Chris and Viv Pepperell for all their help and to Beths Kart Club who supplied most of the officials, including most of the scrutineers.

The only disappointment of the day for me was the lack of support from the Northern teams, with only Tarporley attending. We should remember that the Southern teams (Beths, Barclays and Edmonton etc) do support meetings in the North. Remember both Rye House and Camberley being approximately 4 hours for most Northern teams this is not that far, especially when you think Beths (Bexley Kent) are up to 6 hours away from Wigan and 8 from Rowrah!
NatSKA does need all the support that you can give our meetings.
So come on and give us some support!

I have just finished doing the results for Camberley and have asked Mark Whitefoot to put them on the results section of the site.

I hope you all enjoyed Camberley’s race meeting and luck forward to seeing you at our next meeting at Wigan on Saturday 1st April.

Andy Porter

Northern Director

We have managed to secure new race track venue, Fulbeck located in Lincolnshire. For the full 2006 race calendar please click on ‘Race Dates’ where you can find more information about individual tracks, accommodation and directions.

Before I get down to business and I would like to welcome Falmer High School from Brighton and 1165 Squadron from Oswestry the latest new members to join NatSKA. It is nice to have you on board and good luck!

Kart Show 2005 – Donington Park

The whole presentation and setup has brought us up a lot of interest from other organisations. This has been a great success.
