after 3 yrs and more to come hopefully struggling to make a good , fair , and honest karting races in Indonesia , on behalf of the National Promotor in Indonesia for Karting , we would like to know how are we doing so far?

for some maybe the Surabaya race is the 1st time...but i think there are some of you in this forum that has the experience to drive in Indonesia too.

tell us how are we doing?
all good and bad are welcome.....

Have just got back from AKOC round 3 held in Sentul. Let me give you the low down.


I couldn't agree more here.. everyone was extremely helpful and friendly.


Had similar issues at the RMC race. I agree that having everything included in the entry fee is best - or if that's not possible all the additional charges should be made very clearly known to the competitors in the regulations before they even register for the event.

Have just got back from AKOC round 3 held in Sentul. Let me give you the low down.

1. From drivers taking you to / from the track, hotel staff, race organisers, marhalls etc all people were extremely friendly and nothing ever seemed too much trouble for them.

msn-->thanks!on behalf of everybody......

2. The organisation of the event seemed below par with other events. There was no magnetic strip so drivers had no idea how fast / slow they were going on Thursday free practice. Schedules were not made available until Friday afternoon I believe. The booth where we had to collect bibs (for mechanics), transponders etc from was small with lots of people shuffling paperwork so the queue was long at times. Also had a constant barrage of people asking us to pay for this and that without anyone really knowing if it was legitimate or not. With this in mind I think organisers are better off increasing the entrance fees so that you get the whole package when you arrive and that there is no constant having to go back to pay for other things.

msn-->for this , i'm realy sorry for the inconvinience u had.but for all the money you spent on the track is legitimate.but all inputs are welcome and so i say , thank you for this.thank you very much...we'll hope to do better next time!

3. The event itself was fun. A bit of a carnival atmosphere with everyone having a good time. Racing seemed to be fair and honest.

msn-->honestly...i felt the same way too! i was laughing all the time with the mechanics and all. even when i'm on the assembly , i was laughing....before in Surabaya , well.....u can ask Mikko if he can remember!

4. Track (according to my son) was great. Mind you he believes every track is great.

msn-->

5. Lots of advertising for kartingasia.com - every kart had the sticker on the front bumper!

msn-->not only stickers...i gave advertising with words too for the mothers who want to learn more about the childrens passions! and trust me when i say...they are very much interested!!so....better hide all those accidents pictures......

All in all I think the people make the event and based on this we will be coming back for sure!.

Will e-mail you the Mini Rok race report.

for John King....

thank u for the thoughts!

and i for one , will be waiting for u to race in Indonesia again!

have you guys got a schedule for 2008 yet? I want to come over for at least 1 round - apart from AMC - preferably at Medan.
