The
2006 Club Champ and the brawn behind Hyper
Racer fairly dominated the 06 season. Now
with the field split into light and heavy
for 07 he's aiming at the featherweights with
a brand new chassis and engine. But he's not
expecting an easy time of it... |

BRAD
STEBBING
|
Most
of the time Brad Stebbing has been in Rotax
Max has been spent at the pointy end of the
field. We expect nothing will change, especially
now that he is sporting a new, Ferrari-red
HyperMax Racer |

SHAUN
TROUNSON
|
Shaun
may have been a newcomer to superkarts but
is no newcomer to speed, having quite a taste
for fast minis. He may look like he'd be more
at home on a surfboard but expect him to make
a few waves on the track in his first full
season. |

The
KartSportNews
scribe is not just good with words. The 2004
World Rotax Masters Champion is taking on
the Heavies in 2007 as Hyper Racer "factory"
driver. Quiet and softly spoken off-track,
but he can raise hell on it. |

That's
me. Too heavy for lights, so up to Heavy.
At least the new divisions will give me a
chance to feature. I don't expect to be able
to rattle a former World Champ in last year's
championship kart, and there are several others
difficult to crack, but I'll be trying to
surprise myself.

The most significant challengers to the
Hyper Invasion starts with Rod Clark,
the club president. Incredibly fast in a
straight line, he can run close to the lights
despite running in heavies. Likewise his
teammate and sponsor Peter Howard. David
Byrne has traditionally been solid.
In lights, the evergreen Peter Gazzolla,
the Bey brothers, the ultrafit senior Jon
Grant, and new guy Peter Strangis will be
hard to beat.
Maybe
I should stop complicating things. This
is Formula Rotax- the closest racing in
the country. There will be many surprises!
