GCKI Sets New Record for Club Membership |

 At the club’s May board meeting, membership totals were tallied. As of mid-May, GCKI now enjoys 336 total members (master members and associates.) This far eclipses the club’s old record of 300 total members set in March of 2010 (before the global economic downturn.) It also represents a greater than 10% increase in our total membership from just the start of this year. The surge in membership is attributed to a number of factors – the excitement surrounding the Texas Pro Kart Challenge, the growing field of Chonda and Chonda Cadet classes as well as the hard-work and dedication of a core group of club members to make GCKI the best karting experience in the United States.
GCKI is grateful to all who continue to support the club. Please help spread the word. Like lap records – this is one record, we hope will continue to be broken over and over again! |

You can race at the GCKI Spring 7 race and earn a punch towards the Rotax Grand Nationals but you will not earn any points towards the Rotax National Points Standings. |

Continuous Investment & Improvement at GCKI |

 Joe Bauhs & Bryan Joplin - Spreading the parking lotThis week a dedicated team of GCKI volunteers worked very hard to make improvements to our facility. Mike Hewitt arranged for 45 tons of crushed concrete and 75 tons of granular asphalt to be delivered to the track. Bill Choice, Bryan Joplin and Joe Bauhs did the "heavy lifting" using much slower machinery than we usually have racing around our grounds. The goal was to fill in the low spots in our paddock area to improve drainage and reduce the puddles we've seen this year on our rainy race weekends. Anyone coming out to this weekend's races will surely notice an improvement. We will be calling for a few work days ahead of the big TPKC races, and are hopeful many of our other members will be able to join us. |
