R U OK Day - September 11
Ballarat Kart Club would like to remind its members, friends and family that today is R U OK day.
The Ballarat Kart Club community has been deeply affected by tragedies related to depression, and we support events such as R U OK day.
If you think a fellow karter needs a chat, don't be afraid to talk and start the conversation.
If you are experiencing problems yourself, don't be afraid to talk to a fellow karter, or look for professional help.
Please visit the the R U OK website for more information

Kart stolen
A Ballarat Kart Club member has had their kart stolen a few months after having their trailer stolen.
While the trailer was recovered, the kart theft is a separate incident that occurred just before the trailer was recovered.
The 44 Monaco kart has extra significance for its owner, as it was raced as a tribute to Matt Duke in the 2013 club championship.
The kart is Monaco GP6 28/30 National (Chassis number A49656) with a Phoenix steering wheel
If you have any information, please contact the Ballarat Kart Club , or police
New Sport Smoking Laws
Please be advised that since April 1 new laws have come into place in Victoria that prevent smoking within 10 metres of an underaged sporting venue.
For the kart club this effectively means that no smoking is permitted anywhere within the Ballarat Kart Club boundary on race days or practice sessions where juniors are racing.
