Featuring Qualifying and three rounds of heat races it was a hectic day of competition on Saturday at the third round of the Eastern Canadian Karting Championships held at the Jim Russell Karting Academy in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. A complete mixture of dry and wet weather was delivered as the day progressed keeping everyone on their toes, especially mechanics who were forced to predict the conditions of their race mere minutes before the kart was due to hit the track.
Given the way the last round ended at ICAR, many in the paddock were relieved when the heavy rain that was forecasted for Saturday arrived later than expected and much lighter as well, meaning no delays in the schedule and no cancelled races as the day pushed forward.
All classes were able to complete their Qualifying sessions on a dry track before the skies opened up during the first round of heat races, forcing the change to rain tires. After a few sporadic rain falls, a dry line began to form near the conclusion of the day with the last few heat races seeing drivers back on their slick tires.
