Loxton titles week brings out two types of people: the ones who keep their heads, and the ones who start making bold calls way too early. We’re firmly in the second camp, and Maddie is joined by Kira Griffiths, our first female guest, for part two of the road to Loxton. We start with the real-world stuff that shapes Australian dirt karting, travel distance, fuel prices, and why Alice Springs sometimes wins the battle of the budget, even when Loxton is calling. From there we get into what racers actually remember: favourite tracks like Tatiara and Blanchtown, what a great surface feels like, and the corners that reward commitment. Kira talks about loving the bus stop at Wage Inn when you’re heading out the gate to the left, because you can carry huge speed and make proper passes. We also touch on mindset and rivalry, with a refreshingly honest take that the biggest rival is often yourself, while racing the experienced names lifts everyone’s level. Then we tackle a topic every karting paddock debates sooner or later: stewarding consistency. We keep it respectful to volunteers while still calling for clearer, more consistent decision-making to protect fairness and the future of the sport. Finally, we put our reputations on the line with Australian title picks across Junior Light, Junior Heavy, KT Light, and KT Medium, plus smokeys, a “sure thing” for the weekend, and a spicy prediction on red flags at a massive meeting. If you’re watching from home on Clay Per View or heading to the track, hit play, lock in your picks, then subscribe, share the episode with your karting mates, and leave us a quick review so more Aussie dirt karting fans can find the show.
