Awesome Shots logoGCKI is pleased to welcome Awesome Shots as our official photography partner.  Anyone who attended the Southwest Regional Cup races at GCKI saw well-known local motorsports photographer, Kenny Lau positioned strategically around the track taking great (awesome) action shots of the competition.  Kenny will be permitting GCKI to use some of the shots as promotional pieces for the club, and we will use his photos to highlight our year end banquet.  If anyone wants to view or purchase pictures from the SWRI Sunday race they can be previewed via the link below.  Kenny will be attending GCKI club races whenever possible to capture all of the racing action. http://www.photoreflect.com/store/thumbpage.aspx?e=8170933

Robby Mott Joins Gulf Coast Karters PDF Print E-mail

Robby Mott - RibtectIt is not typical that we issue a news release when we get a new member to the club.  (With GCKI approaching 300 members I’d be a pretty busy guy!) But then Robby Mott is not a typical new member.  In case you haven’t heard about Robby, (and chances are good that you probably have) he is a multiple U.S. national karting champion and also the founder of karting safety device manufacturer, Ribtect.  Given GCKI’s emphasis on safety, having Robby in our midst will serve as a daily reinforcement to that goal.  From their website: “Ribtect is committed to providing the karting industry with the most effective, functional safety equipment possible.”  If you’d like to learn more about Robby, here’s a great link to his story and his mission:  http://www.ribtect.com/About_Ribtect.html   When you see him out at the track practicing or competing in the upcoming Southwest Regional Cup races, stop over and say “Hello.”  He won’t be hard to spot – just look at his safety gear!
