- With only 6 pre-entries the clubday racing cannot go ahead and is cancelled.
We highly encourage all members to pre-enter early for next club day to avoid this happening again. - The AGM needs to go ahead and is still scheduled for 11:00am
- All gate locks will be changed on Monday 31 October, so please attend the AGM and get your new key at the same time.
This is part of a security upgrade thanks to a Department of Justice Community Safety grant. - Karters are welcome to have a practice/test day after the AGM with help from other members
Well done to all our Ballarat members who had strong results on the weekend, with great wins for John Page and Sam Wren
New member Anthony Warner also picked up a good 2nd.
Akasha McEachran and Luke Mason were both just outside the podium knocking on the door.
Luke Thurston's position sells him a bit short - he was racing with and matching Remo pace in a very fast KA3 freight train.

Today we invited the Mayor of Ballarat, Councillor Des Hudson, out to our track to learn more about our sport ahead of our VCS round this weekend.
Without even hire kart experience (He has driven a monster truck before though!), Des was quick to start working on smooth lines and pushing the kart harder, and he had quite an enjoyable stint.
Ballarat Kart Club President and Vice-President (Paul Feely and Mal Mason) had a good discussion with Des about the sport, the club and sport in the region.
We thank Des for his time, and hope he enjoyed it.

It's time to say a few thank you's to all that helped us out over the weekend with the successful running of this year's Ballarat Victorian Country series round.
Over the last two weeks we have been asking for, and requesting help with club volunteers just to try and get enough numbers to make it work, let alone offer some relief for the regulars in the canteen.
We have to say that we are very proud of what our club members were able to deliver, with an excellent level of support from mums, dads daughters and grans, girlfriends and just mates, even people from other clubs, all of which allowed our regular canteen legend Michelle successfully deliver hundreds of meals and drinks throughout the weekend.
To everyone that jumped in to help with the tyre marking that also contributed towards getting the karts to the grid in a timely manner, throughout most of the qualifying period there were a minimum of 4 people marking the tyres, most rotating between their own races just to make it work.
To the regulars at working bees throughout the year, and newer faces more recently that contributed to getting the track ship shape for this meeting. It doesn't happen on its own.
This is a typical effort that continues to make not only Ballarat, but all of our country clubs in the Victorian Country Series stand out and continue to showcase our sport.
Well done everyone, and thank you from the Ballarat Kart club committee.
There will be no March club day due to the Easter long weekend.
The next committee meeting is Wednesday 9 March at 8:00pm in the club rooms
