What a weekend, and race the Penrite 550 was!! Boy it was hot and tested eveyone’s endurance, even the officials, fuellies, volunteers and supporters. Thank you 🙏

The start was awesome to watch with BMCM #29, Yello #81, El Toro #97, Buildline #9, and Dynamite #27 all nose to tail for 25mins plus and a few position changes along the way. Then a little further back battles happening between Yello #3, Double D #44, Wild Racing $41, RPG #90, RTR #47, Kurt Dunn Motorsports #28 and Maverick #55.

With only a couple of safety kart periods karts lapped at a sprint pace for most of the nearly 6 hrs. The team who just couldn’t be beaten on outright speed lap after lap was Yello #81, so quick winning the race 47 seconds ahead of Dynamite #27 in 2nd. The last of the outright podiums and a solid start to their 2024 campaign after being runners up last year El Toro #97.

After Buildline #9 were relegated to 5th with a minor wight infringement Yello #3 after a super strong showing a well deserved 4th outfight and solid start to their Pro campaign.

In A grade Wild Racing #41 super quick most times of the day getting the job done and winning their class follwed by Kurt Dunn Motorsports #28 and RTR #48.

In the new Heavy Class the professional race team and newcomers to TEKA RTR #47 win, ahead of Chunky Bois Racing #22 who get the Iron Man award for managing with only 2 drivers 🥵

Well done to all for such a fun Round 1 and weekend away…yes eating, drinking and racing 😂

Its fitting that the mad men from Roylance Tractor Replacements are backing the Penrite 550 as it’s going to be a weekend full of celebration. There couldn’t be a better facility that Circuit Mark Webber  to host the very first round of 2024! It will also play host to TEKA’s 2023 presentation & awards night which will be held at the local Kingston Hotel on the Saturday evening. Theres some great accommodation options nearby Pinnacle Apartments a short walk away and the perfect alternative for a family or group of team mates with 1, 2, & 3 bedroom apartments. There will be plenty of time to shake off the cobwebs with a lengthy practice on Saturday, with Come & Try, all followed by an exciting qualifying before Sundays race. 

TEKA moving with the times and feedback  from committed members have introduced a Heavy Class for 2024! With so few karts running in B grade last year its been dropped in place for the introduction of what will be a popular and competitive class. So many drivers across the field weigh in at 200kg plus with a good portion over 210kg. The new class will run a minimum weight requirement of 205kg. Good news also from a team point of view is that only 1 driver from the team must make the minimum weight without any additional weight. This allows others in the team that may be under to carry removable weight not exceeding that stated in Rule 4E.7. So start planning your assault, is it Pro, A, or Heavy for you in 2024
