The March general meeting of the Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club is being held this Tuesday March 12th 2013, at 7.30pm in the club rooms.

So, you’ve decided to race one of the prestigious State Titles like the Victorian or NSW Open, or maybe you’ve decided to have a crack at the Nationals. You’ve heard about how tough the racing and competition can be and you know that to succeed in say the fiercely competitive Clubman Light category you’ll have to be right on your game. You and your driver will have to work together as a team, analysing data post race, working out weaknesses in the opposition, going over the kart with a keen eye looking for every little thing that can go wrong (and often only does at a big meeting), checking back through your records looking for that one small tweak that might coax half a tenth from the kart. The pressure can be too great for some and tensions can rise, emotions can boil over and see drivers and mechanics strained to breaking point. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you our President……
Cheers,
Paul Griffiths

OGKRC’s starter Paul Griffiths shoes were filled by Steve Griffin for the first two heats, however Paul was able to attend the finals, and has filed this somewhat more concise report following the 2013 February Club Day.
Oakleigh’s 2013 Club Day calendar kicked off with the traditional February Saturday Day / Night fixture under warm & sunny skies in the afternoon. Your correspondent had an engagement during the afternoon and missed the first two Heats, so the report for this month will be on the Final Heat only. As the sun slowly set and the Oakleigh lights took over, Cadets got set to hit the track.
