Wimmera member results

We've been so busy we are only just catching up on the weekend VCS results.
We had a big group compete, and its great to see some new members in the list
Well done to Taine for taking out a great win to beat Remo on home turf.
A couple of drivers had misfortune and didn't run the final, but we hope they have a better run next round at home.

2019 club update

As we are not running club day today our officials and volunteers get a nice day off.

So its a good time to share a club update of what has been happening at your club in 2019.

There is a lot of work behind the scenes just so we can open the gate, but there is also a lot of work going on to get the club day culture going strong.

August and September Upcoming events

NOTE: We will NOT  be running an August Clubday this month
Wimmera are running a club day on Saturday August 24, and several members will be racing there

We will post information of when the next Come and Try event is running when we have confirmed more details; but there will not be one in August.
(We should have another kart ready by that time too)

The September club day WILL go ahead and will be preceded by the Annual General Meeting.
We STRONGLY encourage all members to attend, as it is critical to the running of your club.

We then start a lot of work towards our Victorian Country Series Finale in November.
We will be calling on all members to be involved in any way they can and post more details of what we need in the lead up.

Come and Try Karting

In conjunction with our July club-day (Sunday July 28), Ballarat kart club would like to invite anyone interested in karting to come along and have a go at our come and try karts.

We now have 2x club karts available, our senior 100J kart will accommodate (12yo and over) and our cadet 80 (6-12-year-old).

Remember, the come and try kart is reserved for those genuinely interested in karting that have not had the opportunity to drive on a full-size circuit.

The cost is $30 covering administration and consumables.

If you are interested, please get in-touch via our Facebook page, with height, weight and age such that we can determine kart suitability.

NOTE: Not everyone will fit in the karts provided, so height and age is important to check.

July club day results

What a nice winter turnout!
The racing was great in several classes, and the weather was kind.

Today's lucky draw winner was Greg Ord, who scored a $100 JB HIFI Voucher.

June Club-Day, Sunday 30th June

JB HIFI $50 voucher giveaway to one lucky person that pre-enters before the Wednesday evening cut-off
To make it better, the club will double it to $100 if we get over 15 pre-entries!!!
Officials and volunteers on the day are also eligible

Ballarat Kart Club WILL be holding club-day this Month, all classes catered for including 4-stroke class.

We are also very excited to once again have our come and try kart running, so please get in contact with age, height and weight details if you would like to secure a spot, as availability is limited!
so that we can determine numbers.
Gates open 8am, Practice from 9am, Racing from 11.15am

Remember, get organised, get entered, bring a mate and let’s go racing!!!

NOTE: The Come and Try kart is suited to ages 15 and over, and approximately 170cm tall to 200cm tall.
We are working on a come and try kart for under 15s, but that is currently by arrangement with a club member willing to load their equipment.
