Attached is a map of pit sections and allocation
Note that the map is not too scale, and most pits are pretty generous in size.

We have attempted to accommodate as many specific requests as is reasonable, but with over 200 competitors we have to fit you all somewhere.

This will also be printed at the gates and assistants will be about during the peak times.

Please note that the track is now CLOSED until VCS practice commences at midday Friday.

 

We need canteen helpers!
Our VCS meeting November 8,9,10 needs assistance from ALL club members. We are a small club, and we do offer very affordable membership, however we really do rely on volunteers (club members) assisting at these events to make them happen.
Please send us a message to confirm your availability.

A big thankyou to everyone that took part in the AGM and contributed to the running of the club.
We are very pleased to announce that Mal Mason is the incoming president.

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.

If you have been involved in anything at the club that we've missed, please let us know

Read the club update

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.

 

 

UPDATE: We have had far MORE enquiries than we can accommodate and need to clarify several things:
 
1 This is a come and try PRACTICE session for people interesting IN JOINING the sport of karting.
There is no RACING involved, it is a limited practice session to learn the skills and the track.
 
2 The come and try program is for this Sunday 28 July.
 
3 We have made a list of genuine enquiries and will respond to everyone with whether we can fit them this weekend or not.
If you have NOT submitted an enquiry with age/height details, you may be disappointed if you arrive without notice.

 

 

 

 

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.
