Event Page: 2015 Eastern Canadian Karting Championship – Mont-Tremblant
We are trackside here in beautiful Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, host of this weekend’s Eastern Canadian Karting Championship season finale. Two action packed race days will lead up to the crowning of nine new ECKC Champions and four drivers earning invitations to the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals to be a part of Team Canada!
Tune in here for results, information and photos from the weekend.
Friendly Rivalry in Briggs & Stratton Masters Championship
One driver returned to the cockpit of go-kart mid-season of 2014, the other back in the saddle at the beginning of 2015. Two challengers from more than a decade ago renewed their rivalry on the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship battle grounds this season and after three rounds and six races, it all came down to the season finale in Mont-Tremblant.
15 Points Separates the Top-2 in Briggs & Stratton LO206 Junior
As the opening act every weekend at the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship the Briggs & Stratton Junior class usually gets a little less attention from those in attendance even if they provide some of the best racing every weekend.
No Shortage of Excitement in Briggs & Stratton LO206 Senior Championship Finale
There is no argument that the Briggs & Stratton LO206 platform has helped recreate some of Canada’s best four-cycle competition over the past three years, especially in the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship where no less than a dozen drivers every race have the potential to dodge, duck, dip, dive and drive their way to the podium in some incredibly close racing.
