Round three of the Algoa Kart Club’s regional and club championship took place at a windy and chilly Celso Scribante Racetrack on Victoria Drive last Saturday. Although the number of entries were down due to a wide variety of events taking place in the metro on the same day, the action out on the track was intense. The DD2 gearbox karts enjoyed a day of close racing with Pieter van Heerden and Jeandre Marais enjoying an epic opening heat with the lead changing at regular intervals, but it was Luke Phillips that proved yet again that consistency counts when it comes to taking the overall win after 4 action packed heats.
