12/04/13 Race #1 April 15th postponed

The Point Pelee Karting Club regretfully wishes to announce the postponement of Race #1 that was scheduled for this Sunday April 15th.

These decisions are always difficult when we have to rely on weather forecasts . Based on current information available to us at this time, there is a strong indication of rain both Saturday and Sunday, with a high probability of thunder storms and lightning . With many rookie drivers and teams not yet having a chance to get in any practice time this early in the season, we feel this could possibly create some unsafe racing conditions for our first race of the year .

Please check back to the website for more information on the schedule changes .

12/04/09 Race #1 April 15th information

Rookie training has been completed and the teams took advantage of the great weather on the holiday weekend to dial in their karts and shake the cobb webs off . Special thanks to Marrisa Howell , Earl and Dale Lajoie for helping out with the on track Rookie training.

12/03/25 PPKC class structures and competition regulations

The PPKC Board of Directors is pleased to announce the following 2012 documents are now available on the PPKC website:
•Class Structure "what class do I race in" (Click here)
•Competition Regulations "the rules" (Click here)
•Briggs 206 Class Quick Reference “What you need” (Click here)
•Briggs New Claimer Rule "How it works" (Click here)
•Briggs Pricing Courtesy of Pete Rempel "What it Costs" (Click here)
•Printable Race Schedule "When and what Track" (Click here)

You’ll see the new Class Structure allows both Briggs and Honda to compete together in the various 4 cycle Classes. PPKC will use ASN Canada Sporting and Technical Regulations, ASN Honda 4 cycle Technical Rules, and ASN Briggs LO206 Canada Engine Class Rules, for all 4 stroke classes except where amended, supplemented or superseded. We believe the release of the 2012 ASN Briggs and Honda Regulations will provide a more level “playing field”. This will allow occasional or "out of town" Honda racers the opportunity to participate in all PPKC races. Other exciting additions include; Provisional Box Stock Clone Class and a New Briggs Claimer Rule! We’ve had many requests to eliminate Double Point Races. After careful review, we have agreed to eliminate Double Point Races and have restructured the Clubs Participation Point System. Racers who have a higher level of Club Race Participation will now receive bonus points based on an escalated scale for each day & class entered. Please see the Competition Regulations document that further describes the point system in detail. Also note, a paid Registration fee is all that is required to be eligible for bonus Participation Points.

As a reminder, in order to compete for PPKC 4 cycle Championship Points and Annual Awards all Racers must complete 8 races using the Briggs 206 engine. As per the Clubs change to the Briggs engine format Race Day trophies will be presented to Briggs Racers in the order of their finish. We are in the process of making Briggs engines available at the track for those wishing to rent an engine for a race weekend. Rental fees will be applied to the purchase price, should a Racer decide to purchase the Briggs 206 engine at cost. More detail will be made available shortly.

More good news! PPKC will continue with MG Red Tires as the Club Official Tire. Visiting Racers will have additional tire options.

Lastly, please don’t forget to take advantage of the reduced Membership Fee of $100 prior to April 1st 2012. Prices increase to $175 thereafter, as well as the annual track practice membership deal.

Please have all your registration forms with a cheque or money order mailed in and post marked before April 1st and made payable to Point Pelee Karting Club if your team has not done so already .
