| |
The 2012 Red Line Oil Karting Championships crowned their top award winners and 11 class champions at the annual series banquet on November 10 in Novato. One hundred and twenty five guests attended the dinner banquet hosted by series promoter Steve Cameron and Race Director Ric Shaw was the MC. Local karter and race driver Tom Dyer was the key note speaker where he discussed the value of using a driver coach to not only improve a drivers skill, but to help improve the total performance of the race effort that is supporting the driver.
In addition to the end of year trophies that the top three in each class won, series sponsors contributed a considerable number of additional prizes that were also handed out to the award winners. Some of the additional prizes included, GoPro Hero3 Cameras, Hoosier Champion jackets, Simraceway Track Passes, Molecule race suit care products, Muscle Milk, ERC fuel certificates, Hoosier and Mojo tires, Aluminos/Dyer Coaching certificates, Savage Designs helmet paint/design and RLOKC race entry certificates for 2013. Cambrian Go Karts gave each Rotax class champion a $50 gift certificate. In addition, all the Series Champions received from Kart Art a 12x18 picture poster with 2012 race pictures of the driver in action. Sanzaru Games gave the Micro class Champion a Sony PS3 with 2nd place receiving a PS Vista game controller. Sanzaru Games also gave cash awards to the top three in Micro Max and the Mini Max Champion.
The four "racecar" awards went to the Champions of the strongest RLOKC classes. Sean McDonald, Senior Rotax, won an FS2.0 test provided by World Speed Motorsports. Alex Keyes, Junior Rotax, won a test in the new "Supercar Lites" Rally Cross car provided by OMSE. Scott Ripslinger, Rotax Masters, took home a Richard Petty Rookie Experience at Fontana Raceway courtesy of Richard Petty Driving Experience.
