“I am happy for Roger & Steve at MKC, we’ve had a long successful relationship with the Monaco brand but we wish them well. We now are looking to further grow the Monaco brand with James Sera who himself was a very successful driver for the Monaco brand, winning his first national championship. With James’ enthusiasm and reputation, this will be another great combination of Monaco & James Sera”.

Coming hot off a win at the last round of the Pro Tour held at Canberra, Randle took his JMax FA Kart Victory 30mm chassis to an ecstatic win in the championship final, also setting a Lap Record along the way, a credit to both Thomas and Dean who have both put in a huge amount of work throughout the year.

Thomas also took his FA Kart Junior Nordix chassis to 5^th position in the final of the hotly contested Junior National Light Category.

Clubman Super Heavy was dominated by FA Kart driver Scott Simpson, who showed superior speed in the Championship final piloting his FA Kart V2 32mm chassis.

James Sera just missed the top spot in the Clubman Light final, after a poor start, sera stormed back through the pack moving up into 2^nd, but after contact on the 2^nd last lap, Sera had to settle for a Credible 2^nd.

It was great for James Sera’s Karting Centre to get this kind of exposure where most people interested in motor sport would be and it created quite a lot of interest not just for James and his Kart Shop in Clayton Victoria but also for go karting as a sport and pathway to V8 Supercars.

James and Everyone from James Sera’s Karting Centre would like to extend many thanks to Adam Gillick and Pedders Australia for the opportunity.

The Sparey boys were running hot this year, Jai Sparey taking a commanding win in the Midgets category. Jai after qualifying on Pole position by over 0.5 Sec won both opening heats, followed by a 2^nd in the pre final and taking mammoth lead in the final.

Todd Sparey didn’t have it all go his way in Junior National Light, Sparey qualified down the order on Saturday and struggled for pace. Up front it was Justin Francis who qualified on Pole Position in his FA Nordix. Francis though was out of luck on Sunday with Sparey storming through the pack in the wet pre final race to come home in 2^nd, Francis only managed 5^th. We were set for a Stella race in the final, Todd Sparey making once again the right call for the conditions and taking a commanding lead in his FA Nordix, Francis was caught in the pack on the opening laps. Francis then moved up into 2^nd position but by this time Sparey was gone! Justin chased him down to be right on his tail, Francis made a move on the penultimate lap, but Sparey fought back and took an ecstatic win over Justin Francis making it FA 1 – 2.

In Clubman Light, Ash Arora was the man to beat, qualifying his FA TS30 on pole position, and taking both heat wins, and pre final win. With rain falling 2 minutes before the start of the final, the clubman light grid turned into a scramble with people changing from slicks to wet. Unfortunately for ash his Mechanic J.Sera forgot to change tyre pressures in the wet tyres and with no more rain Arora flew out of the starting blocks. But by ½ race distance the track was drying and Arora was starting to struggle, Ash bought his FA TS30 home but could only manage 2^nd in the closing stages.

In Clubman Heavy / Over 35’s Lackie Citrine showed some speed in Qualifying putting his FA TS30 on grid 2. Unfortunately for Citrine he could only manage 4^th in the final, it was Chris Thomas though who came through to take the win in the final of Clubman Heavy

Andrew Yuill put his FA Victory V2 on pole position in Saturday mornings qualifying session, but it was Jordan Cullis taking the spoils in both heat races on Saturday in his FA Victory. In the pre final Cullis had a stray wheel and ended up on the sidelines. The final was set to be a showdown and Cullis made his way through the traffic up into 2^nd position, it was Yuilly though who took the win buy a mere .071 sec over the fast chasing Cullis making another FA 1 – 2

Sportsman Light was FA Mayhem with Brad Winter, Michael Carless and Josh King all showing plenty of speed throughout qualifying and the heat races on Saturday. Sundays Pre Final saw Carless and King bringing there FA Victory karts home 1 – 2 with Winter not far behind in 4^th. The FA Pair of King and Carless were set to have the race of the day, once again in drying conditions carless was the early leader, king then showed he had the pace, but with a clear dry line, king was just too radical on the MG White tyres, Carless come home for the win with King struggling on Slick looking tyres, held on for 3^rd position

Clubman Light with 17 entries for the day had some great racing. Wayne Bourke started the day off with a cracker of a 1^st heat winning by over 7 seconds in his FA TS30, Ash Arora bought his FA TS all the way from last on the grid to 2^nd for a storming drive in heat 1 and John Renolds 3^rd. in the Final it was Arora who proved too strong for Bourke and Renolds, to finish the day off with a FA 1 – 2 – 3.

Sportsman 125 was once again dominated by the FA pair of Josh King and Michael Carless, with a fumble at turn 1 for King (Stalling his Kart) Brad Winter moved his way upto 3^rd position in his First outing after stepping up from TaG Restricted, but had to pull in after his Fuel Cap was missing.  Carless took home an easy win, with King only recovering for 3^rd.

Aron Lawrence took home a very fashionable win in Sportsman Heavy, with his FA Victory 30mm chassis after a string on 2^nd positions at previous clubdays Lawrence commanded the final and the overall standings.

Midgets bought some brilliant racing; Jai Sparey was the star of the show once again taking an easy win in the final and also winning on the day. This brings Jai to 4 clubday wins in a row!

Shane Kovacs took the Honours in the TaG Restricted category showing all his competitors that he means business.

Once again the JSKC results speak for themselves, 5 wins from 10 classes on offer. Podium positions in nearly every class and 1 – 2 – 3 in clubman light. James would like to thank all his customers for making it a Brilliant August Club day; it was a very successful day for the JSKC Racing team, well done to all the drivers who support JSKC Racing.

But then he lost pace, his kart slowing off the corners, allowing Jones to catch and pass the stricken FA Kart prior to the last corner. “It felt like fuel serge” Sera explained, “but there was still plenty of fuel left” (it was subsequently found to be a loose axle due to grub screws falling out).

While James lost out in Clubman, He enjoyed an almost unflustered win in Leopard Light aboard his FA Victory chassis. Adam Willison had been fastest on Saturday, winning both heats after qualifying fastest. But come Sunday, Sera had the edge and, despite getting shuffled from pole back to 4th in the opening lap of the final, Sera worked his way to the front for a comfortable win. Unfortunately the final was marred by a huge crash on the last lap when former motor-crosser Joshua King was flipped into the barriers and carted off to hospital for a couple of hours. Josh was released from hospital later that night with a few minor Cuts and Bruises.

Justin Francis made the most of Qualifying in Junior Clubman after putting his FA TS30 on Pole Position. Another in the hunt was Jason Le Cocq who made his way over from WA and was driving James Sera’s Lease kart. Jason put his kart on grid 3, and after coming 2^nd in all the races to Anton De Pasqual Jason found himself embroiled in a thrilling battle late in the race. LeCocq had a small gap over SA’s Marquis entering the final lap and the two interstaters appeared to have shown the locals how to do it. But then disaster struck as Marquis made a move for the win that didn’t work. Justin Francis who ended up being in the right place at the right time and had plenty of speed in his Air Cooled clubman took advantage of the stricken karts to take the win ahead of Jake Klein and Anton De Pasqual

Jake Meyland had a strong showing in his First race in his FA Victory chassis in the TaG Restricted category, Jake taking pole position on Saturday morning. Disaster struck though on Sunday morning with the Machine of Meyland not making it out onto the track. Another of the JSKC Team drivers Brad Winter put his best foot forward to come home 2^nd in the Pre Final. Things didn’t go in the direction for either Winter or Meyland with them bringing there FA Victory’s home for 4^th and 5^th.

Another notable performance was from young Jai Sparey, coming from the back in the Pre Final of the midget’s category to work his was to a front row starting position for the final. Unfortunately for Jai things didn’t go to plan and Jai ended up on the sidelines on the 2^nd lap of the 16 lap final.

Everyone at James Sera’s Karting Centre would also like to send get well wishes to Josh King who had an undoubtedly shocking accident in the final of Leopard Light on Sunday.
Fortunately Josh came away with only minor bruising and Scratches.

Well done to all other JSKC Customers over the weekend.
