Junior Kart Club
Juniors 8-16yrs
We have invested in a fleet of 160cc Sodikarts which are both user friendly and identical and are capable of speeds of up to 40mph. Superb trophies will be on offer for individual rounds and for the overall championship winners.
The club is split into two groups, 8-13 yrs and 11-16yrs to allow for the natural variance in size and development in young people of this age. With a friendly Club atmosphere and monthly race meetings during mid week school holidays and Saturday mornings, the club has proved to be a real winner. This is the first time that real racing is available to youngsters without having to buy and prepare their own kart.
Buckmore’s Junior Kart Club has been a great success and offers competitive and friendly racing for junior drivers in three age groups: 6-7 (New! See panel below), 8-13 and 11-16. A racing licence is not required and we supply all the equipment including the relevant safety wear and state-of-the-art karts powered by either a 50cc Comer engine (for ages 6-7), or a 160cc Honda engine (for ages 8-16). The 2008 summer championship kicks off in March and compromises of seven rounds during the school holidays and weekends (there is also a winter championship). The Bambino Club for 6 and 7 year olds takes place on our Club Circuit and 8-16 year olds race on our National Circuit. All club members
enjoy the benefits of the Junior Club Forum on our website, as well as access to our Lapalyzer race data analysis system.
Each round features a practice session, three heats and a final for each driver (only applies to 8-16 year olds). The top three drivers in the A final are awarded trophies and special championship prizes are presented at the end of the year. Junior Kart Club events for 8-16 year olds are open to everyone over 4’2”, although the Bambino Club for 6-7 year
olds has its own dedicated format and restrictions.
Club membership for the year March ’08 to February ’09 is £20 and the entry fee for each round is from £65 per driver (from £49 for 6-7 year olds).
Note: For these Championships we insist that the driver has undertaken at least one lesson at the Introductory Sisley Kart School (or equivalent elsewhere) before entering to ensure he or she is ready for a full race experience.
New for 2008 (spring) the Bambino Junior Kart Club
An organised club for kids aged 6 and seven on our purpose built Club circuit. Ideal preperation for MSA owner/driver racing at 8, or for Buckmore's Junior Club for 8-16 year olds. The club features a dedicated format taking account of the relatively young age of the drivers. All equipment is supplied including clothing and Top Kart 50cc Comer 2-stroke mini competition karts. There will also be a separate class for Bambino owner/drivers.
Note: Bambino Junior Kart Club drivers must undertake Bambino tuition organised by the Sisley Kart School (or similar elsewhere) before entering Bambino Junior Club events. As youngsters of this age develop at very different rates , safety is of paramount importance and therefore individual tuition may be required.
