Kartsport Dunedin held the 2024 Silver Fern farms Kartsport South Island Sprint Champs in very testing and tricky conditions over the long weekend 

It was wet both days but drying conditions in the finals through a few into a panic. 

Canterbury driver Caleb Cross (Rotax Light) and local Jaxon Harvey (Rotax Heavy) successfully defended their South Island titles with Cross having to work very hard to top William Exton from Marlborough who came in 2^nd place and Myles Findlay who came in 3^rd, while in the Heavy field it was all local with 2^nd step taken by Craig McFarlane followed by legends champion Neil Shearer in 3^rd.

We crowned 3 new Champions with Marlborough's Taylor Costello dominating the Cadet ROK class with 2^nd place going to Freddy Waller and 3^rd place going to Jett Randall, and Canterbury driver Ryan Gallagher in the Rotax Max Junior class finding the perfect set up to take top honours, while 2^nd place went to Cooper McLeod and 3^rd place went Nickolas Cayford. Local Jack McGrath was our last champion to be crowned with a faultless drive all weekend and taking the win from Fraser Hodges from Invercargill who came in 2^nd, and Will Finch who came in 3^rd.
