What a year it has been. The MKSC site has matured like a fine wine. We currently have 115 players registered, which as far as I am aware, is the most any MKSC site has had! It has been an interesting year with multiple world champions and an ever changing top 10. The site itself has ticked over – yes – albeit slowly at times and we all owe our gratitude to Luca for updating the times. I would also like to commend the MKSC community for all it has achieved; I had a vision when I restarted the site. My vision was to create a non-sc site which was taking the game back to its essence – racing. The rules have evolved and solidified and we have created new strategies to achieve what was thought would be unachievable times and techniques! There are exciting times ahead. I will be putting up the first MKSC standards ever by the end of January and I am sure that will both bring in new blood and revive those who are currently not active. I’ll reiterate here on the main page that these standards are subject to change and most likely will when they are reviewed in July or before. Please remember that comparatively with the other sites this site is in its relative infancy. There are too many highlights this year to mention but I hope I have done them justice over the months; it is hard to put into words the achievements of some of the Karters on this site. I would like to note however that a significant benchmark was met this year as we passed Hirano and some of the Japanese times with and without zzmt. Credit to them for the level they took it to and more credit to the players on this site who have surpassed them and are taking MKSC to the “next level”. I am sure this year will bring plenty more pr’s, cr’s and sr’s/wr’s as well as fun along the way and I hope that more of us will attend the kart meetings (America and Holland 08) throughout this year and strengthen as a community. Wish you all the best for 08, Tom Gaffikin. p.s. someone has to beat that RR 3lap!
