Algoa Kart Club has been a hive of activity lately in preparation for round three of the National Rok Cup that takes at the Celso Scribante Circuit this weekend.
The classes that will be running on the day are the Cadets for 5 – 8 year olds, Kid ROK for 7-10 year olds, Mini ROK for 8-13 years old, OK-J for 11 -14 year olds, OKN for 14 years plus, KZ2 for 15 years plus & the Invitational MSR4 Strokes.
Jeffreys Bay youngster Sebastien Blignaut (Roos Kart Team) has had a brilliant season so far and currently enjoys a six point lead in the very competitive Mini ROK class while local star Jack Moore (Xtreme/Puma/Fleet Dynamics) sits in joint first position in the OK-J class tied on points with Amani Kinyua. Another local Aashay Nagura (RPM Motorsports) is currently in twenty-third place in the National standings and will no-doubt be hoping to capitalise on the home track advantage that he’ll enjoy this weekend
Jack Moore (Xtreme/Puma/Fleet Dynamics) takes a break from the VW Rookie Cup saloon car series this weekend to hopefully improve his standings in the OK-N class where he is currently in seventh place and Caleb Moss (Roos Kart Team) makes his first appearance in the OK-J National Championship after having come so close to clinching the National Mini ROK title last year.
An added attraction to the on-track action is the inclusion of the invitational MSR4-stroke carts, where a whole host of Algoa Kart Club members will be able to show their mettle on the big stage.
Entrance to the event is free & spectators are urged to come and support the twenty-five plus vendors and exhibitors that will be set up in carnival style to bring a unique dimension to the AKMC National event. There are also licensed bar facilities available at the iconic track that is situated next to Rover Motorcycle Circuit on Victoria Drive. Qualifying gets under way 10am on Saturday with the first race set to start at 11:30am.
