To all drivers

Now that you are able to apply for a new licence or renewal of your licence on the internet, various administration procedures have been updated to support this process. Please note the following:

• If you require a restrictor with your licence application/renewal please include payment for the restrictor with your request. Midget/Rookie restrictors are $20, Leopard/Rotax restrictors are $25 and are available from your club licencing officer.
• Payment for your licence by credit card is not available in Tasmania.
• Any information you may receive about the new licencing system (or AKA identity card) where the “State Office’’ is mentioned, please remember that for Tasmania that means our State Licencing Officer.
• Payment for a licence renewal must be received by the State Licencing Officer before the application will be processed.
• Applications/renewals and upgrades cannot be done at a race meeting. Temporary licences are no longer issued for renewals.
• Renewal reminders can and will be emailed to drivers but please don’t rely on this. It is your responsibility to ensure you are licenced and a financial member of your club.
• Applications cannot be processed for drivers who have not supplied a photo to the State Licencing Officer.

Jo Sapwell

The 2009/2010 Tasmanian Spintcar season looks to be a dream come true for Launceston’s Sam Crack.

Renowned legend and former Tasmanian Sprintcar Champion Robin Dawkins has put together a scholarship package that includes a car, engine and running program for a complete new team, giving the opportunity for not only a driver but a new crew to work under him as an educational program.

Results after the Wyllie Tiles & Wyllie's Kart City LKC Club Titles round of the series are available here.

The Wyllie Tiles & Wyllie's Kart City LKC Club Titles were held this weekend in rather cold conditions, but a large entry list and hot action on the track more than made up for the inclement weather.

With Club Titles and State Series honours on the line, the competitors gave their all and the results are as follows: 

The club has a chocolate fundraiser going and if anyone from our club can help out by selling a box could they please contact Trish on 63982756 or 0438982756.

To honour the memory of our sadly lost competitor and friend Philip Goss the Launceston Kart Club will host the Phil Goss (Gossy) Memorial Trophy. It is intended that this trophy will be offered at the running of the Senior National Feature from 2010 onwards, but for this year will be run at the up-coming Launceston Titles meeting on 13th & 14th June 2009. The trophy will be open to all Over 40 National competitors and will be decided by a panel chosen by the Launceston Kart Club.

The next event to be held at Archerville is the Wyllie Tiles & Wyllie's Kart City LKC Club Titles incorporating round 4 of the Tasmanian Statewide Series
on 13 & 14 June 2009.
