Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship makes history at Molson Grand Prix 
of Toronto
16 karters take to the track for demonstration laps

TORONTO, ONTARIO – The Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship presented by 
Toronto Star Wheels made history on Friday afternoon, when the series put 
17 drivers in their karts on the Molson Grand Prix of Toronto track at 
Exhibition Place. It is the first time karts, and karters have been a part 
of the Molson Grand Prix of Toronto weekend.

The karts – which are located in Thunder Alley – drew large crowds on 
Friday, and will more than likely draw more fans when they take to the 
track for the second demonstration laps on Sunday, right after the ChampCar 
race. Sunoco, the headline sponsor of the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting 
Championship presented by Toronto Star Wheels has the series trailer in 
Thunder alley, along with a huge display area.

The drivers ranged from Cadets to Seniors. Taking part were Darryl Timmers, 
Pearce Herder, Lloyd Shearer and his son Zach Shearer, Anthony Furfari and 
his brother Michael, Corey Luciano, Joshua Korenyi, Michael Adams, Philip 
Wang, Jim Souch, Jesse Facchini, Dylan Gibson, Reid Arnold, Darren White, 
Matt and Jason France.

The on track ‘show’ put on by the karters was an impressive display, as 
they did a few laps during the Friday session. “These things really fly,” 
said one interested spectator. He was last seen heading for the series 
trailer looking for more information on karting and the SRFKC.

The objective of the SRFKC 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.
