Thanks for that Paul, as a good mate spanning back over 30 years I'm only going to offer this once because there will be a heap of people wanting to rent borrow or steal a Blokart for the 2014 worlds, I paid $400 US to hire my kart for the worlds in Ivanpah but my demo kart is at your disposal for nix if you wish to enter, it is set up for performance the same as my kart so let me know what you want to do.
youll be need ing that cart to help a chilean,argentinean ,brazilian ,peruvian or maybe mexican get to the event!!!!!
I will hunt up something locally,dont worry, but thanks for the offer.
The blokart World's web page is now up and running. More info will be posted when available.

Australian Titles done and dusted. Results on the blokart worlds site at http://blokartworlds.com/sailing/results/ and at racing.natsoft.com.au/results/ under circuit racing
Perhaps I missed it but I haven't seen or heard a thing in the newspapers or on TV regarding either the National or the Worlds Blowkart events at Walyungup. Sadly, a golden opportunity to promote the sport has been missed.
I thought the same and asked the organizers. I am advised that all the papers and media outlets were provided with a media release. Unfortunately it seems that except for the local papers the event is not sufficiently newsworthy.
