WRKC has kicked off their 38th season of racing this past Saturday with a large attendance of racers and spectators on hand for our first official race of the 2019 season. There was a great turn out of new members that included 18 rookies to complement our field of returning members with large numbers in all the groups totalling 80 karts for opening day. The Cadet class was extremely close with Matthew Roach taking the checkered flag after 12 laps. Junior lite provided nonstop action right to the end with Owen Colling taking the win. The Master’s group provided some of the best racing of the day with Jake Collison picking up the win over Adrian Donkers.
