Karts on Aussie TV this weekend !!!!!!!
from www.kartoz.com.au
The final of the Syndeticom/Siemon International Class from the 2001 APS PRO-NATS will be televised this weekend on SBS Speedweek as part of their extensive coverage of the Eastern Creek event from October 21. Just under 30 minutes of the best karting action you are ever likely to see will begin around 4:00pm this Saturday (January 12). so tune in and make sure you've set the VCR because this is one race you are going to want to watch over, and over again! We also expect the one hour FOX special to be ready to go within the coming weeks and will release times when they become available. DONT FORGET !!!!!!!!! (subtle reminder to myself there  )

Thanks for that Marcus.
I heard from some locals that were there racing in Rotax Light that the International race was not to be missed. |

Well it was good.
Five karts nose to tail for most of the race, with some breathtaking positional changes. Reduced to 3 for the run to the flag when Cox and Hunt came together in the closing stages. We didn't get to see the start of the incident, but Chris Cox going bakwards through the air into the tyre barrier looked spectacular. The guy in third position with less than half a lap to go ended up winning. |

I saw the gearbox karts on speedweek. That was some good racing there, The problem is that those gearbox karts have the tech of a V8 Supercar. They have a tacho, a better gearbox than the v8's and alot cheaper to run.What do you's think

would have to agree , they were great , dont know if they could be compared to v8's or not but they would be a heck of alot cheaper to run , and just as much fun i reckon , so they get my thumbs up and I would be more likely to be racing them in the future than V8's thats for sure.
and yes the eastern creek facility does scrub up well and a credit to the oranizers (Gary Holt is one of them isnt he ???) |

Yeah, I think he owns the joint...
But Karting at that level is stupidly expensive- some of the quotes on how much it costs is a little gobsmacking. For instance one race meeting at that level would be the equivilent of buying a car and racing it for a full season in a State Championship... |
