Toronto
Kart Club in conjunction with Kawartha Durham Kart Club is pleased to announce
the
4th Annual 2009 Hershey Centre Grand Prix, presented
this year by Honda Power Products, MarIndustrial, and Robin Subaru. This event is to be held in the south parking lot of the Hershey Centre
in Mississauga on a temporary street course that was designed in conjunction with
SuperMoto Canada and the Toronto Kart Club -- a track that is available only
once per year!
This track has been proven to be technically challenging, fast, and has
been an integral part of an action packed weekend of racing.
The entire weekend is open to the general public for the viewing of the
races.
However, if you wish to see the karts up close, a paddock pass is
available for a nominal fee.
Both
hosting clubs are very excited to offer karting enthusiasts and racers alike a
unique racing venue within the GTA in a very cost effective
way.
Our goal this year is to make this event even more accessible and
enjoyable for everyone than ever before.
Drivers of all ages will be competing in this event with some venturing
into higher levels of racing such as Formula 1200/1600/2000, Formula BMW and
yes, even Formula One.
Below, you will find all the details of this exciting weekend, including
schedule, race order, and pre-registration form. The event will entertain
requests to add 2-cycle classes, as long as there is a minimum of 6 racers
willing to run.
As this is a combined race with KDKC, paddock space is very limited, and will be allocated on a first come,
first served basis. Please complete the pre-registration form (see below),
and hand in to us with your payment as soon as possible in order to guarantee
your paddock spot(s). Also, there will be no street parking permitted in the
immediate area of the Hershey Centre. Therefore, all participants are strongly encouraged to
pre-register for this event, to avoid disappointment.
This is a points event for both TKC and KDKC, although racers from all other clubs are
invited to attend. For your peace-of-mind, there will be overnight security
provided on-site in the paddock area at no additional charge.
We have provided a very useful cost breakdown of this event. Realizing that financial times are
difficult, TKC refuses to gouge or take advantage of the
karting community, and we always strive to make racing FUN,
FAIR and AFFORDABLE.
