National Class entries for 2015 Superkart Championship

By Allan Litten, 25 February, 2015
Hi Guys,
The SKA early entry close this week and I would like to encourage any National driver who is thinking about the Championship by asking the National Drivers who have already entered to post their names here to also encourage these drivers to sign up and let’s all have a great 2015 National class Championship. :)

Hopefully, we can make the photo below a reality in the this year's Championship :)

Great to hear Scott. :)

Ashley has told me that Dan and Tim will be entering too so that is 7. How about NSW where you have:
Pelly
Aaron
Dalton
Jack
Frank
??
And there is a few more in VIC who have new or improved Nationals this year who might be enticed to enter???

There is no doubt that when the show looks good others want to be in it too; so let's make this a turning point for the National class this year :o

It is possible that we could have maybe 1 or 2 more but they won't know till the dates get closer due to work.
An Anderson/ TBA. Havent seen that engine before. Better hope the CIK recognise them in a hurry.

Hi Scott D,
The link is here: http://www.superkartsaustralia.org/2015-superkart-championships.php

It is shaping up to be one of the best National class Championship for a while so please help to make it a reality by being part of it.
In the end, we all benefit from a strong showing and help to promote one of the best value classes in Superkarting :)

Regards
Allan.

Thanks Wayne for the info :)
That is great news for the National class - already we have 10 entries and plenty of room for more :D
This could be the biggest class there this year with a few more :P
Come on Owen, start cleaning the kart for Dalton, it is going to be a lot of fun; maybe you can push Jack to jump in too :D
1. Allan Litten #90 Anderson/Honda - SA
2. Raff Pironti #68 Anderson/GasGas - VIC
3. Jordan Ford #20 Anderson/TBA -VIC
4. Dale Williams #21 Anderson/Yamaha - VIC
5. TBA #22 Anderson/Yamaha - VIC
6. Scott Appledore #55 Anderson/Yamaha - VIC
7. John Pelicano #62 Avoig/KTM - NSW
8. Aaron Cogger #63 Avoig/KTM - NSW
9. Dan Lewis #81 Anderson/GasGas - QLD
10. Tim Weir #89 Anderson/GasGas - QLD
11.
12
13.

Who is going to be the 2015 Australian Superkart Champion - could it be one of these guys or will there be a challenge to the status quo this year ??? Maybe, consistency and reliability will be rewarded - one thing is for sure, you have to be in it to win it. ;)

I would like to go to the two rounds at Eastern Creek and Phillip island.
Having just completed my first season of racing, I will have to get a Cams licence and fill out the forms and submit them tomorrow.
Correct me if i'm wrong but is there anything else I would need
1: CAMS licence (Apply and pay fee) Do I need a medical to get a CAMS licence? Can I race on CAMS provisional licence?
2: Join SKA and pay fee for race number
3: Fill out race entrance form and pay fee for both races
4: I'm assuming I will have to find the document that specify s what is required on the Kart to pass scrutineering.

Is there anything else I'm missing apart from sponsorship to pay for it all LOL...?

Minor changes for you list Allen, had to change race numbers.

3. Jordan Ford #22 Anderson/TBA
4. Dale Williams #21 Anderson/Yamaha
5. TBA #66 Anderson/Yamaha

Looks like a good amount of entries considering I was laughed at a couple of weeks ago for suggesting we would see at least ten. Still the Champ, McKay, Giglio, Mayberly and Pelli's second kart as possibilities too.

Hi Owen,
That is great to hear and hopefully some of us can give Dalton a run for your money :D

Hi Scott,
This is shaping up to be the best year in a long time for the Nationals - let's hope everyone has done their maintainence and has a reliable setup for the Title run :)
Looks like you are keeping that motor on Jord's Kart a secret .. are you waiting on Stage 11 ???

Regards
Allan.

Raceroz

Allen, think you'll find Dalton will have to run 2 and Dan 80. Wizzer confirmed on SKA number allocation as running number 1. Unless of course Harpas elects to run it. Twins have preference over Nats, then 125's.

Raceroz

9 years 7 months ago

So would Dalton get preference on 2 or 96? He ran them both last year. National champions in 250 Nat & 125 Nat should be allowed to run a green or blue plate to signify they are the reigning class champs if the 250 Int runs 1. Just my two cents worth, even if it's just the rear plate.

HI Scott and Owen,
That is a great idea :)
We should have a visual indicator for the public to identify the top three position in our class when we are racing in a multi-class race. It makes it easier for the spectators to pick out our class and see the difference between the classes. As the 250 National class karts look similar to the Division 1 class karts, and we cannot run the representative Championship race numbers, then a number plated with a bright identifier would be a WIN-WIN for everybody. :)

Anything that educates the public and makes them more knowledgeable about our Class/Sport will only help them to take the next step and come to talk to us about getting involved.

Maybe Scott, you could design something that fit this idea ???

While we are talking about this; what about a reasonable size Web-Link sticker for the Karts that run in the Championship and points to a Superkart contact page. Seeing as we are getting Internet-TV coverage, we might as well use the resource ???

Regards
Allan.

Hi Scott,
Why not on all numbers so that the spectators can't miss it ???
Maybe, the National class has lost some of it's impact because the spectators cannot tell the difference between our class, and as we run with the Division 1 class, we just look like a slow twin to them. :-\

Also, I am wonder if a bigger gap between the Division 1 karts at the start would help to separate them further and make it easier for the public to see a clear class distinction in the race.
As the leaders of the Division 1 kart already lap the 125cc class, it would not be any different if they pick up a couple of Nationals too. :)

These are simple changes that could have a big effect on the spectators understanding the National class better. :D

Allan Litten

Hi Scott,
I was only talking about the National 1 plate holder :)

If we can encourage a few more drivers to bring them out of the garage or lease one, it will be the biggest class at the Championships :o - and about time; this is a fantastic class and great value for money in anyone's terms. ;)

BTW - I am wanting a RH Anderson Gear column if you know of anyone who has one - can buy or swap a LH Gear column for it.

Regards
Allan.

Well it is official now; the National class has 11 entrants so far with late entries still to come. Unfortunately, no Dalton at this stage ???

This is the best National class representation for many years and it can only get better with late entries still to come.
:)
Hopefully, we can steal the show with the most entries per class ;D
So, what will the National class look like this year ??? Just take a look at the second photo which has 14 karts in it.
Come on late entries; make it happen :D

Only stage 8 but happy. Winton to rough to get any decent data on and i won't go back til its resurfaced. Until we actually put it on the dyno we won't really know. Also have new carbs & fuel to test so i think development from now on will be dyno based rather than on track. Would be nice to get a test day at PI.

Allan Litten

Hi Scott,
Good to hear that you are enjoying yourself with the development - hope you have some surprises for us at the Creek - it is good fun when the Nationals raise a few eyebrows and gives the rest of us something to chase :D

If you need a driver for the 11th at PI let me know ;D

My kart is not ready yet but should be for the Creek. I think my shed must be connected to a worm hole because every time I go in there and worked for a short time, when I come out the rest of the world has moved to a future Time Space moment. ;D :D

Mike, we should have three there now we have our third driver locked away, plus Raff in his GasGas will be running. Looks like I may have to find a fourth kart for an ex world champ later in the year too......

Allan Litten

Hi Scott D,
The stages are different developments or modifications people try in a effort to gain more performance.

I am joking with Scott W about Stage 11. ;D

While Owen is on Stage 1 of what he brought from Brian as he said, it is definitely not Brian's first try (Stage) at the National Class motor. There have been many developments over the years and if you buy him a drink, he might just tell you some of the fun things like the twin TMX carburetors on a KX250 .... :o

That is why you pay for a proven product from a proven performer to save you all the headaches. Of course, some of us like that kind of thing and just want to do it for ourselves.

I believe Dalton's CR250 is Brian's first attempt at a CR250, therefore Stage 1, I should know because I was the first owner and driver of that kart ;)
As for best HP figures/development, you guys are totally lost on how to get the best out of your equipment. Not only do you listen to all the bullshit and believe it too, believe shit like Stocky's karts are 90's copy of Anderson, get a grip people, Brian has been developing chassis tube types, diameter, material, thickness, axles, axles, axles coming out of his arse, different upright angles and different chassis setup. If you think Dalton has anything within an eye shot of 70HP then I feel sorry for you. I personally know what a GAS GAS can put out reliably, I've repaired JR Osbourne's motor more than twice at separate meetings and considering what Dalton was up against last year, he did me, his family and Brian very proud.

Proof is in the Stock Honda class for the last 4 years, why does a 35-36HP engine beat most 125GP open motors reporting upwards of 45HP? Hang on, same weight, little bodywork, 90's design nose cone....blah blah blah blah hahahahahaha

Time to get your hands of your jewels and go do something productive in your gains, work on the bigger picture because you have been schooled by a 20 year old the last 2 years who was racing donkey Rotax Max class before that........this advise comes for free. ;)

Don't forget what Tamasi did to the Australian field in the 2 years he raced 125, never raced Superkarts before.......ohhhh he raced a 90's Anderson copy Stockman built chassis....there we go again.......hahahaha

I'm all messed up now. I thought I was at stage 23 of nose cone development but just checking my notes and it appears I'm only at stage 19. This would explain why I have a balance problem as my axle is only at stage 16. I also have a stage 123 kill switch, I had to buy a 500 gig HD to store the kill switch data alone.
I'm expecting stage 124 to be a game changer.

Appers the stages are what we get PowerFlow to port cylinders too in consultation between Dale, Wizzer & Bruce. We decided to develop the Yamaha years ago ias opposed to buying readymade CR engines from gun tuners. Only time will tell if that was a good option. The stages are now we tell the cylinders apart. I think when Brendan was kicking arse he was around stage 3 so we just continued it on.

Hi Owen, Sam and Jason,
Do you guys have a sense of humour? Can’t you just have a laugh without making a personal attack on the world ???

All of what has been said, is just bench racing before the event and adds a little fun to our sport. :)
Regards
Allan.

Allan that was my sense of humour. Sorry if you didn't pick that up, I can be a tad dry.
I don't really think anyone would take that post seriously would they?
Can't really see how I've made a personal attack mate, unless you are reading to much into it.
