Pre-entries needed for July clubday

A reminder that if you want the 30 July clubday to form - make sure you register online via the KA CMS

As Geelong are not having a July clubday there is more chance of this event getting up.

We need 12-15 pre-registered to go ahead, or clubday will be cancelled again.

VCS Portland results and May club day

Well done to all the Ballarat karters at the Portland VCS round.

Don't forget, clubday is THIS weekend and we'd love to see a few karters to have some fun and help the newcomers.

Pre-entering online is the best way to throw your hat in the ring and get your class going (Particularly for juniors and cadets), but checking in with mates to see if they are competing also helps.

2017 VCS kicks off at Ballarat Kart Club

We are very excited that in 2017 we have the first round of the AUSTRANS Victorian Country Series on February 5.
In 2016, Cobden attracted a whopping 200+ entries for  the first round, so we are expecting a big few days this year.
We will need help from all club members, family and friends to make this happen, so make yourself known to the committee by any means possible. (Facebook, email, phone)

As a lead up, we will be running the optional January club day (Jan 29) this year, 1 week before the VCS round.

Please note: Don't get carried away marking pit spots too early, we will mow lawns and mark pit boundaries in mid January.
Only after the lines are marked is anyone welcome to put their name down on a spot.

Check out the VCS Facebook page for more info

2016 Club Champions

Plenty of fun was to be at our end of year fun day, with the track running forward then reverse, welcoming home the club's first black plate winner in many years, hearing the glorious roar of an historic twin engine, and even finding a superb blue tongue lizard in the club rooms!

There was a good turnout of members and friends, and everyone seemed to have a good time, many commented that they loved the thrill of running the track in reverse.
