Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship presented by Toronto Star Wheels 
wrap up  Senior Classes
Morad, Timmers, Bilotta and Di Leo take Senior class wins

GOODWOOD, ONTARIO  The opening round of the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting 
Championship presented by Toronto Star Wheels took place at Goodwood 
Kartways this past weekend. The Senior's put on an impressive show all 
weekend, and some new names showed up on the results sheets. The level of 
competition seems to have been raised another notch as all the classes saw 
multiple drivers battling for the lead and win.

Formula Senior
Formula Senior qualifying looked like a repeat of Formula Junior from a few 
years back. The Pfaff Fast Qualifier pole award went to First Kart's Daniel 
Morad, who took the pole ahead of Cameron Motorsports CRG driver Robert 
Wickens by 0.126 of a second. Returning 2003 Formula Senior Champion, 3-S 
Go Karts Birel driver Juliana Chiovitti was third on the grid. As a 
testimonial to the competition in the headline class, the top 19 drivers 
were all within a second of the pole time of Morad.
Morad led the early going before being passed for the lead by Wickens. With 
six laps to go, Morad took the lead back and held on for the win ahead of 
Wickens, Juliana Chiovitti and Kart Depot's Tyler Givogue.

Canada Senior
In Canada Senior, the only Saturday senior class, Gold Kart's Pearce Herder 
took the Phaff Fast Qualifier pole award. Taking the win in the race that 
started out dry and went to wet was Gold Kart's Darryl Timmers. Goodwood 
Kartway's CRG driver Marco Di Leo was second and Ian MacCintyre, also on a 
Gold Kart was third.

World Formula Senior
Burlington, Ontario's Matt Jackson took the Pfaff Fast Qualifier pole award 
ahead of CMP's Paul Carvalho by just .026 of a second. CMP's Adriano 
Bilotta, who came from sixth on the grid took the win ahead of Hurricane's 
Wilson Tessari Neto and Carvalho.

RotaxMax Senior
First Kart's Eric Gerrits took the Pfaff Fast Qualifier pole award. Gerrits 
went on to lead most of the race ahead of CRG's Marco Di Leo. In lapped 
traffic, Di Leo saw his chance and he took the lead  and the win by .105 of 
a second. Third was SH Karting's Devin Cunningham.

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.
