Sutton starts second half of season for karting stars!
Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship Presented by Toronto Star Wheels 
starts second half this weekend at Sutton

SUTTON, ONTARIO – One of the most historic tracks in Ontario Karting, 3S Go 
Karts in Sutton, Ontario, will host the fourth – of six – rounds of the 
Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship presented by Toronto Star Wheels 
this weekend.

With this being the fourth weekend in the series, many of the drivers are 
planning their championship runs, including Formula Senior points leader 
Cale Meeks. “This is an important weekend,” says the Wasaga Beach driver 
that calls Sutton his home track. “With no drops this year, every race counts.”

Last year, the teams had the option to ‘drop’ one weekend, but this year 
every race counts. This gives each driver a complete understanding of how 
he or she is doing in the championship chase. More importantly, it puts an 
emphasis on obtaining results in every round, and while there is no 
substitute for winning, consistent finishes will definitely help the causes 
of most. “For sure, consistency is the key,” says Leamington’s Jennifer 
Rempel, who sits third in both Canada Senior Heavy and Light. She, like the 
others at the top of their classes know a win would be nice, but a dnf (did 
not finish) or a finish outside the top 10 would be devastating.

As they head into this weekend, here are the top three in each of the 
Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship presented by Toronto Star Wheels 
classes;
In Canada Junior Heavy, Pearce Herder leads with 305 points to Michael 
Glaze’s 143. Glaze is only one point up on Justin Holtom. In Canada Junior 
Light, Keenan Harris leads by 18 points( 255 to 237) over Taylor Holdaway. 
JonMichael Ostella is third with 189 points. In Canada Senior Heavy, Aaron 
de Heus with 287 points, hold the top sport over Dave Patrick with 244 and 
Jennifer Rempel ith 170. In Canada Senior Light, De Heus again hold top 
spot with 285 points over Marco Di Leo, who has 222, and Rempel with 156.

In Formula Junior, the unbeaten Daniel Morad has 315 points. Richard Boake 
holds second with 197 and Mike Vincec has 157.  Formula Senior is a close 
battle, with Cale Meeks leading Mike Roth by 61 points (251-190). Third is 
Tyler Givogue with 172 points. In Rotax Max Jr. Evan Hayden is leading with 
233 points. Second is Maxime Pelletier with 199 and Eric Barrett with 179.
