An awesome field of 18 karts showed up at GVKC to set the stage on the 1/8 mile oval and once again the weather was perfect. Speaking of perfect? Max Wood, Spenser Schwartz and Austin Bradley all won their races in their respected divisions. They are all now 2 for 2  in the early season but racers behind them have made several challenges for the lead but to no avail. Its only a matter of time before we see a new winner at the famed winners wall. The racing from front to back produced some exciting racing from the drop of the green and the spectators on hand were entertained. This coming weekend is shaping up to be a good one again as the oval guys will have double duty. First they will run Saturday morning at GVKC and then again on Sunday afternoon as they  head to the Sodus Microd club for a exhibition race. The GVKC oval crew will show their skills on the beautiful 1/10 mile oval and so far, 11 karts are committed. We are hoping to show the Sodus club what we are all about and in turn they will tentatively be coming out to GVKC towards the end of the year to show us what they are all about. Thank you again to all of the members and volunteers’ who have helped out around the oval. We could not do it without you. Spread the word about the oval and see you this weekend.

Good luck to everyone.

Thank you to Bob Secules for the great article and pictures! If you would like to know more about the Sodus Microd Club, click here.

Some of you may have noticed our website disappeared on and off this week. Our host had numerous problems, and I have moved the site to a new server. This should be more stable and the pages will load faster.

Hopefully you enjoy the new look of the website. I try to take pictures when I am there but cannot make it every Sunday.  I see a lot of cameras at the track… If you have information or pics you would like to see here, please send them to me. Thanks!

Racing officially commenced last weekend at Genesee Valley Kart Club, and what a beautiful day for racing! Although we got off to a late start, the day ran smooth. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this happen, we couldn’t do it without you! Next weekend we will have a prompt start to practice at 10AM and try to keep things moving along so we can finish up earlier.

Oval Practice 4/28

The weather for last Saturdays oval practice was great and it allowed 12 karts to show up to do a test and tune on the 1/8 mile oval. Its going to be an exciting 2012 season with the new asphalt in turns 3/4 and all of the new drivers that are registered. The time and work that everyone put into the their karts in the off season really showed by way of the new bodies and color schemes. Kudos to everyone and their efforts! We are anticipating several more karts to start in the season opener this coming  Saturday May 5th and more as the season progresses. See you all out there next week.

Thanks to Bob Secules for this info and pictures!
