The 2009 NI Championships have now been fully approved by the NIKA Committee & congratulations go to each of the deserving 2009 Champions. Unfortunately both Formula TKM extreme & Formula SuperKart 125 failed to meet the minimium requirement to allow full championship status to be awarded. Neither of these classes will receive perpetual cups at the Awards Presentation & the numbers 1-9 will not be issued to any compeitior in the class for the 2010 season. The committee would like to thank each competitor for their support in 2009.

Bishopscourt Kart Club - NOTICE
I am sure most of you are aware that the Chairman (Paul Preston) and the Vice Chairman (Keith Campbell) have resigned from their positions following our last race in June. These men have put a lot of time and effort into the sport of Kart Racing in Northern Ireland and on behalf of everyone from Bishopscourt Club I would like to let them know that they will be sadly missed and that there time spent with us tyre kickers has been greatly appreciated by all.

After a Club meeting on the 21^st July 2009 the committee have filled the vacant positions and the new leadership is as follows: Chairman - Richard Dewart, Vice Chairman - Liam Fox, Secretary - Phillip Mills, Treasurer - Mark Montgomery, Directors - Dessy Black & Noel Lindsay, Additional committee members - Justin Doherty, Terry Wilkinson, Derek Lochart, John Adams, James Irvine.

As you can see the club has a strong contingent of superkart drivers and so we would like to recruit people from a non-gearbox background for advice and feedback etc to help develop the class one side of karts. If you are interested please contact one of the committee members. It is the clubs intention to equally develop all classes of kart racing at Bishopscourt and especially to try and improve the short circuit attendance so have a think about what we can do to help make the event more special for you and give the feedback to the club so that we can implement your suggestions.
