Peel Kart GP!!

[mrsweety]

Sad article in Motor-Sport News. IOMKAR secretary Sam Adcock has indicated that the Peel GP may never be run again. Following the tragic loss of his wife Helen in 2005 and the current road works that have stopped the race this year the IOMKAR have decided to put all their efforts into building a permanent track at Jurby.

They have asked competitors who would still want to race at Peel to express their enthusiasm for the race by e-mailing Sam at info@iomkra.com

I have been twice and watch my nephew Tom Huxtable race there. Both times have been breath taking in both the beauty of the island, the hospitality of the people of Peel and the excitement of the race, and I was on the side lines. I believe I can say on Tom’s behalf that they were the most thrilling races of his life. For those who have never raced at Peel it is the most incredible race possible in the whole world of Karting a must before you retire.
So I hope with this posting to start a small trickle that will become a flood of e-mails to the IOMKAR. Peel is our own MonacoGP and must not be forgotten if for no more noble reason than to keep the memory of Helen alive. So come on Grandad, The Baylis Boys, Wilko, Durcs, Oli, Gazza, Big Rog, Teabag, the list goes on. Come on Guys lets save the Peel GP!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Taken from Karting.co.uk board! - just spreading the word!

A very good shout, I will add my support for sure - would love to do this race one day, although perhaps in a Prokart not a Rotax.

[#15 tkm 4/]

yes is a sad thing to hear. We were planning making the trip over one day too.

Sadder thing is that we were trying to sort out with tal-ko, that they took everyones chassis over the IOM for any tkm 4/ driver and get a decent grid over there.
