We are very excited to announce that track construction will shortly commence.
The club has just signed a contract with Begbies Contracting , who will be using the services of Centre State Asphalting. (The same crew who did an excellent job at Wimmera Kart Racing Club)
Wright Civil Engineering have worked closely with Begbies and the grant working group to get the best result for our club.
The track will close for all karting activity from 1 April (AM) until at least 30 June.
The gates will be padlocked during all construction.
Track construction is expected to start shortly after Easter, and is anticipated to take 8-9 weeks.
Despite being Grand Prix weekend, we will need a MAJOR working bee turnout on Saturday 1 April from 8:00am. (BBQ lunch will be provided)
We need this to happen before Easter to make sure the track is ready for contractors to come on site, which will include removing fences and tyres that will enable access to the track.
Over 60 years Ballarat Kart Club has evolved from a small dirt track to a modern sprint kart circuit; and now you can actually watch it evolve.
2023 will see one of the biggest upgrades in the circuit's history after all that's come before. NOTE: Aerial photo dates do not match actual construction years.
Lucky for us, they do happen to be conveniently show change within a few years of each major upgrade.

We are excited to announce our new Ballarat Kart Club logo as we approach round 6 of the Victorian Country Series and the start of the exciting journey of our track extension works.
With a rich and proud history for over 60 years, the club continues to provide an energetic and supportive environment that allows members of all ages to enjoy their motor racing ambitions.
Our new logo will represent the continued success of the club and opportunities for our members as we embark on an exciting future.
