Huge Victorian Country Series Round Run and Won

Congratulations to the winners, and thankyou to our army of officials and volunteers, and also the Haddon community.

Big events are absolutely NOT easy to run.
We all worked dusk till dawn for 2 days and still got through the weekend with most of our sanity intact.
So now it's time to kick our feet up for a bit.

We sincerely hope that whatever your final result, you had fun and enjoyed the challenge this weekend.

We are massively proud of this track upgrade, and our club

IMPORTANT: NEW Social/Private Practice Requirements

Q: My club is open again, but how do I practice at the track?

1 KAC KAC KAC
We have been shut for a while, and private practice requirements have changed in a BIG way while we were closed.
You MUST register or join a social karting session in KOMP to use the track AHEAD of time. (eg the day before)
There MUST be a qualified Karting Activity Controller (KAC) present.

2 - Track hours are 9am-6pm
Track is closed TUESDAYS (No engines)
Please RESPECT our neighbours and finish up on time.

3 Use your member key to open the top gate
If you are do not want others to join your session, shut the gate behind you.

4 This is a learning curve for all of us.
We will be patient as a club with any genuine mistakes, but we will also monitor compliance.
Anyone ignoring the requirement will be contacted by the committee.
