During the nicer months, we will offer a 30 minute session before our monthly committee meeting for any new member to attend.
This will allow you to meet some of the crew, get to know how the club works, and ask any kart/tech questions.
We get a heap of questions via phone and social media from new members, and this will allow us to help more of you together.
Even if you have been with the club a while, you are welcome to come along.

Upcoming Dates for 2024:
Wed October 9 7:00pm
Wed November 13 7:00pm (Apologies, there was a mixup on this meeting date)
TBC December
TBC January
TBC February

Location: Haddon Club Rooms.

We cant wait to get out of winter and into some spring racing.
Make sure you save the date. 
NOTE: There is no October club day planned , so this is your second last chance to race a club day this year.



Calendar is provisional, all dates are subject to changes/variations


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

Its been a great start to our new circuit, with many karters out burning a groove into the new surface.

This month is a busy month and we are expecting some great action and big entries.

Sunday April 14 - Club day with the VC4SS Trail

Saturday - Sunday April 27-28 DPE Victorian Country Series Round 2

We need plenty of help from our members for both events, so make sure you pencil these weekends in.

Congratulations to all members who have stepped up to take a bigger role in the club for 2024.
We particularly thank life member Michelle Shields as our long serving canteen manager.
That position is temporarily vacant as Michelle steps back, and we will be looking to transition the role.

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.

We are very happy to announce that sealing works have begun at the end of January.

So roll up those sleeves, we will have a regular stream of working bees to cap of this major project.

Each year, the Ballarat Kart Club takes the opportunity to recognise an exceptional volunteer that has gone above and beyond in their service to the club.
We are pleased to announce that this year’s club member of the year has been awarded to…Justin Malcom. Congratulations Justin!
Justin was the driving force in organising the clubs major raffle, which included an impressive array of prizes, including the first prize of an Arrow 6.2 and X30 kart package.
Justin is pictured here with the major prize winner Justin Yuen.
The Ballarat Kart Club is extremely fortunate to have a strong committee, and generous volunteer group.
I would personally like to thank all of the Ballarat Kart Club Members for all their help and support in building the club over the last 12 months.
Bill West , President
