DOUG LIDDLE MEMORIAL

Celebrating the karting life of a great man!!

Barossa Go Kart Club hosts the Doug Liddle Memorial next Saturday 20th February.  And who is Doug Liddle?  Doug was a man who shaped karting in the Barossa and indeed karting throughout Australia.  Doug and his family worked very hard to make what we have at Robinson Park today.  Read the Doug Liddle story here.  The feature race for senior Clubman at 150kg has a set of MG tyres and cash as prizes.  Check out the supp regs here.  Remember entries close Tuesday 16th February and you can fax, e-mail or post your entry with credit card payment available.

And juniors will not miss out -The Rod Gardner Memorial for Junior National celebrates the life of Rod Gardner (cut short by a sudden illness) who was a great Super Heavy driver, a congenial personality who believed in developing young race drivers.  His protégé, Jay Verdnik now heads up a V8 team and has been a V8 supercar driver.  In fact Jay started his motor sport career as a junior at Barossa!  For the juniors there's also a set of tyres and cash on offer.

Jenke Vineyards Vintage Classic
Run and won!


A record 22 entries lined up for the 2009 Jenke Vineyards Classic recently.

Simon Layne was victorious creating a new record taking out the Classic for the third time. 

Qualifying saw Kevin Bolland in his Tonykart on pole along side last year's winner Steve Blee.

Heat 1 resulted in a win to Simon Layne, with Bolland taking out heat 2.  Returning to karting after a brief absence, Daryl Tolmer didn't take long to find the front, winning heat 3.

With all points counting, the final was a close battle with Tolmer and Blee scrambling for overall second place with Layne happy to clinch the boot full of Barossa wine by finishing third .

In the end it was Layne, Tolmer, Blee, Ledwidge and Wallace sharing the podium and the big prizes.

Look here for the results.
