Busy weekend at Goodwood Kartways as drivers prepare for Eastern Canadian Karting Championship

The atmosphere at Goodwood Kartways had a bit more of competitive feeling to it this past weekend as additional drivers and race teams helped fill up the paddock at the track near Stouffville, Ontario. With the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship invading the circuit next week, many took the opportunity to test and tune, while local TRAK club racers were given the benefit of some new faces to compete with at their club race.

The day went off without a hitch. Excellent weather added to the atmosphere in the paddock as eight classes, featuring 111 drivers, hit the track for action on the beautifully kept Goodwood Kartways circuit.

Big winners on the day included Marco Signoretti and Marco Di Leo. Signoretti came from tenth on the grid in Rotax Senior to win an exciting feature race over Tyler Kashak and Anthony Tolfa. Di Leo patiently waited to make his move in the 26-strong Briggs & Stratton Senior division. Making the race winning pass with two laps to go on Jonathon Treadwell, Di Leo proved he will be a force to watch out for next weekend when he makes his ECKC return in Briggs Senior. Treadwell and Chad Campbell completed the podium. Both classes will be full next weekend that is for sure!

Rotax Junior was a easy cruise for Montreal’s Gianfranco Mazzaferro as he took the win over Michael Currie and Nataël Cantin.

In Micro-Max, Jeremy Tallon is in fine mid-season form as took the win over Gianluca Savaglio and Austin Boyle. Christopher Chanko bested Xavier Harris and Ryan MacDermid to win the first-place Mini-Max trophy.

Other winners on the day included Alessandro Bizzotto in Rotax DD2, Juliano Romagnulo in Max Masters and Tyler McCullough in Briggs & Stratton Junior.

A second event at Goodwood Kartways was held on Sunday as the Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship was on hand. A tough turnout has turned Sunday’s action into more of a practice day than a race, but nonetheless karts are on track and the sun in shining.

The Eastern Canadian Karting Championship will kickoff on Wednesday with three days of practice before complete race days on Saturday and Sunday.

CKN will be trackside for the event with our CKN Live coverage, presented by K&K Karts North America.
