Preparations to stage the third round of the Rift Valley Motor & Sports Club (RVM&SC) Karting Championship in Solai this weekend have hit feverpitch.
The practice session will take place on Saturday, paving way for the raceday on Sunday.
RVM&SC chairman Mehboob Nanji is promising fans some hair-raising thrills. Nanji is excited by the fact that young drivers have posted good lap times in recent practice sessions.
The belated 2013 Karting series started a fortnight ago with a combined weekend comprising rounds One and Two because of repair works which had taken longer than expected.

Among those expected in the 50cc are Round One winner Zoravar Dadhley, the Kim siblings William and Albert, Round Two winner Kinyanjui Kamau, Jude Njeru and Nijel Muhia among others.
The 50cc is anticipated to attract the biggest entry. The 60cc class has Jason Oosterik who won both rounds One and Two, Ryan Bailey, Jairvir Dadhley, Jadini Nzomo and Damon Oosterik among other diminutive drivers.
The Junior Rotax has the likes of Round One winner Jeremy Wahome, Round Two winner Tejas Hirani, Dilraj Chatthe, Sameer Nanji and Philip Ndegwa.
Meanwhile, the prize giving for the 2012 Karting Championship will be held at Solai track on September 14 after practice.
The Karting Committee of RVM&SC has also agreed that the Senior Rotax will be amalgamated with the Junior Rotax should there be two or more drivers in the senior category.
