hi guys i just had a idea running though my head witch doesnt come often the idea was that skaa speedway kart run a series around diffrent tracks over the season what does everyone else think

It's been discussed before with little success.

It would take a lot of organising and support from competitors.

It's a good idea but no one has managed to pull it off yet.

yer would be good to see it happen i think a lot of drivers would be happy to run a series over 3 or 4 diffrent tracks

There are a few of us who are still on this very subject as we speak i for one am very interested in getting this off the ground i have gone over various ways in wich to run the series i think that we need to start off with a basic series using the standard clubman and open clubman class or run both together these classes have the biggest numbers across the country (outlaws will follow later if numbers are there) people wont travel unless there is a title or $$$ on the line, therefore you would need to be a contracted driver to the series with a sign on fee of say $250 (this does not include your race entry at each round) this will help build up a pool of money for the winnings at each round and end of series champion (top 3)??? plus maybe a major sponsor and get a speedway magazine to help follow the series.
I thought of calling it the Eastcoast Speedway Kart Series 1 Round in Gatton Qld, Moruya NSW, Broadford and mildura Vic, thats 4 rounds at 4 completely different tracks if we can get 10 (plus) from each state to sign on this would work that would give us a pool of $7500 at each rond top 3 will recieve $500 1st, $200 2nd, $100 3rd, at the end of the series the champion will recieve $2000 , 2nd $1000, 3rd $500 this will leave $800 putting that towards trophies and a set of Burris tyres to the best presented Kart and team, the running of bodies would be recomended to help advertise the series nothing better than a full field of speedway karts running the body this will go well in the speedway magazine its all about promotion to keep the series healthy there is more but that is the jist of it so tell your club members and let me know of any interest

i like the sound of this idea. when would you be looking at running this deal ? what would be the cap in between the race meetings ?

hey i love this idea count me in for sure but i would say run the series as a all power event race any kart engine u want ecept juniors

That sounds like a great idea Count me in

I looked into this a year or 2 ago and came to the conclusion that it is not really viable. It all sounds like a good idea on paper but when you go to ask people if they are really actually interested... they are not. you might get 1 or two people interested but then it really dries up.
I think the reason is that karts are very much a budget class and most people do not have the time or money to go on the road.

The only way it would work would be to have a series that runs over 3-4 strait nights. It would have to be around the summer holidays. Similar to the Oval express series.

For example

night 1 Nyora
2 Broadford
3 Laang
4 Mildura

I think you will struggle to get enough people to pay an entrace fee to go on a long series and then have to turn up to tracks and pay again.

I would love nothing better than a series but it would be tough...

just my take

Thanks mate this is true but we are only throwing it out there to see what we get i'm also thinking of one for AKA but they are only thoughts nedd a third track for it to work and i believe it will and also a series for the NSW skaa drivers it would include BEGA, MORUYA, NOWRA, CANBERRA and CULLIN BULLIN

i would reckon just one series for skaa sa vic nsw qld would be good ino theres traveling but most people no speedway does involve travilng and if theres money involved then people will be there
