Western Canadian Karting Championships
The Western Canadian Championship is being held at CART BC May
16, 17 & 18. This event will be the largest gathering of karters
in BC this year because of the participation of all 4 western provinces.
This will provide BC karters with the opportunity to race many karters
they have never seen before at their home track! What could be better
than showing 3 other provinces how good we are here in BC! The WCC
is built around the Rotax classes, however we need to have participation
from the Junior 1, 2 and Senior Honda four cycle classes! Wouldn't
it be great to see how you "stack-up" against your fellow
western karters?
Register you kart number for Western Canadian Championhips,
