February club day

It was great to kick off the first club day yesterday
We had quite a few new racers learning the ropes and plenty lined up for the come and try.

It took us a while to get some engine gremlins sorted out for our 2 new cadets Abby and Will- but once they were going they both did a great job.

Mitch Arrow was the lucky winner of the Bunnings Voucher - a week after winning the first 2020 VCS tshirt.

It was a good days racing all round and we're looking forward to the March clubday already

End of year club day THIS Sunday Nov 24

Enjoy a free BBQ with friends as we present the 2019 club champions at the end of the day's racing.
A $50 Bunnings voucher will be up for grabs again for any karter or official to win on the day.

2019 VCS a huge success!

Another year and our biggest event is now behind us.
This weekend threw out many challenges to our club with rain, hail then sunshine and all this in the first half day.
A bit of work on Friday saw us able to guarantee the track was in good nick, and able to drain water. This allowed trouble free racing regardless of the downpours.
Moving into the Saturday and Sunday our members, friends and family kept the canteen ticking along nicely, the masses being fed, the toilets being serviced, the cars pulled out of bogs, and still regardless of the testing weather everyone was still smiling.
A very proud moment for our club who have pulled together, and once again shown that we can put on a great show.
Congratulations to the drivers that represented us on the track today regardless of your finishing positions, it was a tough gig out there.
A Huge thank you to the members and businesses that have supported us through our major Karting, and fundraising event for the year that sets us up for the following 12 months.
Well done all.
Mal Mason.
