SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10
Saturday’s heat race action at the Championship Karting International Grand Championship saw three rounds of solid racing to set up for Championship Sunday.

Aside from Tristan DeGrand’s clean sweep in the KF3 division, the remaining five divisions are still up for grabs heading into the Prefinal and Final action tomorrow.
