THE weekend of May 8 and 9 saw the Eastern Lions Kart Club in Puckapunyal hosting round three of the 2021 Golden Power Series.

More than 280 karters across 13 classes attended the event, making it one of the largest rounds the series has ever seen.
This led to some intense action during the course of the weekend, as kart drivers battled to claim the podium positions and overall points for the 2021 series.
There were a few incidents during the weekend, including two in the youngest category, Cadet 9 (under nine years old).
These were dealt with efficiently and safely by officials, which allowed racing to continue.
A smattering of rain overnight between Saturday and Sunday led to slippery conditions on Sunday morning. This caused much of the action to involve karts spinning, and the drivers had a chance to highlight their abilities in treacherous conditions.
The Golden Power Series is a Victoria-wide series hosted by rural karting clubs, with a focus on fun and clean racing.
In 2021 it has been to Rochester, Numurkah and now Puckapunyal, and has rounds scheduled for Bendigo, Albury-Wodonga and Morwell later this year.
This Puckapunyal round comes ahead of Eastern Lions Kart Club hosting a round of the 2021 Metro Series next weekend on May 15 and 16, and round four of the Australian Kart Championship next month on June 25 to 27.
