17th & 18th October - 2008 Otago Southland GrassKart Competition Finals
The 2008 Otago Southland GrassKart competition is drawing to a close, with the final judging day coming up on the 17th and 18th of October at the James Hargest College grounds in Invercargill.
The teams will be judged on a variety of criteria, from how well their Kart is put together to how well they do in the actual performance tests on the day. Each team will have to perform a series of sprints, negotiate a slalom course and take part in a relay race, with points being awarded for each. The team with the greatest overall points total will be declared the winner of the performance category. see a video
