Youngster Ava Mayers rewrites BKA history books

  She was top 60cc raceday points-scorer, and overall too, the first female karter to achieve this in the Club’s 40-year history. While successful female racers have topped their class on raceday - Kayleigh Catwell did twice when she finished second to Calem Maloney in 100cc in 2018 – overall raceday top-scorer is a BKA female first.
