One thing Kartsport SA prides itself on is listening to the karters and doing our best to make changes they want.
We have had requests from parents that if we allow the current Bridgestone/Dunlop tyre to be run alongside our Maxxis that they would love to come out and support us. We have taken the decision to allow this for this weekends meeting. So if you have a son or daughter who is currently racing or has the gear to do so head over to our website and get them entered! 😁
Our Midget/MiniRok classes can run Bridgestone and our junior classes can run Dunlop alongside the Maxxis tyre. To allow parents more time to get a set of Maxxis (new or used) we plan to continue use of mixed tyres for our next meeting also.
Currently in SA the 7-9 years old classes have really suffered and struggling to get numbers. That age group just a few years ago was one of the biggest classes and without those kids coming in and moving up the sport will struggle to grow. We want to see this class grow and help bring in (and back) kids and their families to enjoy this great sport at a truly affordable grassroots level and we think this decision is a step in the right direction.
