The Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club is preparing to once again hold the annual premier Juniors only kart racing event early in the 2012 racing calendar.

Due to the huge success of last years back to back races, held on a Friday and Saturday during the January school holidays, this same format will once again be used. The 2012 Junior Top Guns events will be raced on Friday & Saturday, January 20 & 21, 2012.

The Friday and Saturday races are treated as separate race meetings, with prizes given out for each event. Series prizes will be awarded to the competitors with highest accumulated points from both racing days. To be eligible for series prizes, you must race both events.
