FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, September 21, 2022
Considered by many as one of the best events of the year, the Night Race; KartStars Canada Season Finale promises to build on that reputation. Re-added to the schedule back in June after the cancellation of Round 1 which was wiped out because of the storm, the event is set to take place Saturday October 1st. Racing under the lights has been an annual tradition at Goodwood Kartways since 2009. The sights, the sounds, the atmosphere, everything is different under the lights and if you have never done it before you don’t want to miss it!
“We had originally removed the Night Race off the 2022 KartStars Calendar to make room for a new venue, that of Flamboro Speedway. When we were forced to cancel Round 1 at Goodwood Kartways, the move that made most sense was to bring back the Night Race. The night racing format was introduced back in 2009 and it was an instant hit.” explained Promoter Daniel Di Leo. “The race continues to be a favourite for many avid karters and year after year we look to add value to this special day in hopes of going outside of the box to create something unique for karters to enjoy.”
This years edition will once again embrace the KartStars Canada program as some of the best kart racers from the province look to complete their season long championships. Add Kid Karts into the mix and a loyalty discount to those who had been registered for Round 1 and the KartStars Team is excited as they look to re-create the record setting environment of Round 1 before the storm.
Featuring a unique single-day format, KartStars Racers will get six on-track sessions for each class entered. Registration will open a bit later than normal as gates open at 9am. Following an 10:30am drivers meeting, practice, qualifying, two heat races, and a pre-final will fill the day all setting the stage for the Finals to be run after the Sunset Break. Add in an Outdoor Movie for Family and Friends to enjoy, and a spectacular Fireworks show and this is one you don’t want to miss.
Keeping with tradition, LED lights mounted safely will be permitted. KartStars Cadet, KartStars Junior and KartStars Senior will conclude the on-track activities in a true shoot-out format and the regular KartStars raffles will take place before the Fireworks. Kid Karts are also part of the show and traditional to the KartStars Night Race the Snack Bar’s special is the infamous Taco Bowl (limited quantities). Please email thatssapore@gmail.com to reserve. For the children, there will be a movie being played at the podium (banner behind). Popcorn and a bottle of water will be provided compliments of That’s Sapore (while quantities last). Parental/adult supervision is suggested for those who aren’t able to tend to themselves. Kids are encouraged to bring either a sleeping bag or a blankie in case it gets cold, to be comfortable. Parents are encouraged to email thatssapore@gmail.com if their child will be watching the movie so that we can get a sense of how many we will need accommodate (popcorn/water) please.
