Innisfil ready to host Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship presented by 
Toronto Star Wheels finale!
Seven new champions to be crowned this weekend

INNISFIL, ONTARIO  This weekend, the center of the karting world may well 
be 45 minutes north of Toronto in Innisfil, as the resort town hosts the 
season finale of the 2004 Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship presented 
by Toronto Star Wheels.

"We are very happy to host the event," says Innisfil Indy owner Tony Launi. 
"The track is ready, it will be a great weekend."

Up for grabs this weekend is seven of the ten available class championships 
of the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship presented by Toronto Star 
Wheels. Daniel Morad (Formula Junior), Pearce Herder (Canada Junior Heavy) 
and William Keatings (World Formula Junior) have already claimed three of 
the ten championships.

Leaders of the other seven class championships heading into the weekend 
are; Taylor Holdaway in Canada Junior Light, Jennifer Rempel in Canada 
Senior Heavy, Marco Di Leo in Canada Senior Light and RotaxMax Senior, Evan 
Hayden in Rotax Max Junior, Corey Usher in World Formula Senior and Mike 
Roth in the headline Formula Senior class.

"I need a top five to win," Roth says, but that is easier said than done. 
Past rounds  especially in Formula Senior have been anything but 
predictable. Podium finishers have come from as far back as 19th on the 
grid, so it could well be like last year and go down to the final lap  "I 
hope not!" Roth says.

Innisfil has a new layout and most of the top teams have tested or run a 
check race here earlier in the year.  Now, along with the class 
championship pressure, there is also the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting 
Championship Presented by Toronto Star Wheels Evaluation Day picks that 
will also happen on Sunday. Drivers who don't win their class still have a 
shot to go as the criteria is not only race results. "I am really focused 
on getting to the Evaluation Day," says Ashley Hiltz, who is currently 
fourth in the Rotax championship. "I think all the Senior drivers would 
love the chance to get to Evaluation Day."

Practice is on Friday, with races on Saturday and Sunday. For a complete

The objective of the the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship Presented 
by Toronto Star Wheels is to help foster a professional environment for 
kart drivers; help create a positive attitude towards appearance, conduct 
and discipline; help foster the employment of the best practices for the 
safe and fair running of competitions; and help kart drivers to move up the 
racing ladder to automobile racing.
