Race Day Sponsor: Platinum Karts and Parts
The club is honored to have Platinum Karts and Parts as our race day sponsor. Since 2020 Craig Nichols has built an addiction to karting. Starting as a proud Dad just spending time with his son playing with go karts, embracing the dream of one day experiencing a real life race scenario. Where do they race? How do I know what equipment I need? The questions of the average parent dreaming of their child standing tall on the podium.
Started in 2021 Platinum Karts is now in full swing, a unique and respectful approach to positively continuing the growth of karting. Craig’s honesty and passion for racing has positioned Platinum Karting in an extremely important yet crucial space in the karting scene. Catering to all, but especially to families that are at the beginning stages of their exciting racing journey. Platinum Karts has become a lifeline for local racers competing with all makes and models of Kart Chassis.
Whether it’s a set of tires or that rare sprocket needed to maximize a session, the Platinum family is proud to supply our future champions with affordable and high quality new and used parts. Craig is available 24/7 and can be found on line on the Facebook group page “Platinum Karts and Parts” and instagram “@platinum_karts” to help supply, repair of offer advice to anyone in need and share the Platinum family experiences of karting.
Thank you for your continued business and support of the WRKC series on behalf of the Platinum Team.
The WRKC is thankful to have Platinum Karts and Parts as a Race Day Sponsor.
Awards and Recognition
Each season the club hands out a number of awards at the end of the season. They can be classified in 1 of 3 groups. Awards that honour the many volunteers who work to make race days happen and look after the day to day business of the club. Racers who are deserving of recognition for their driving and kart preparation week in and week out. Performance based awards for drivers. Some of the awards recipients are chosen by the board members, and a few awards are voted on by club members. The performance based awards are based on race timing records and race day points results. With the season winding down its time to start thinking about who should receive an award.
In the case of the awards voted on by the board members if there is someone who has helped you throughout the season, or you recognize as an individual, who is always working hard week in and week out, let a board member know. This way they can make sure that person is considered for an award.
For the awards that are decided on by the racers now is the time to start thinking who you think in your class is the most worthy recipient. Before the end of season you will receive a ballot to make your choices.
Following is a summary of the awards that are handed out annually.
