As we are not running club day today our officials and volunteers get a nice day off.

So its a good time to share a club update of what has been happening at your club in 2019.

There is a lot of work behind the scenes just so we can open the gate, but there is also a lot of work going on to get the club day culture going strong.

If you have been involved in anything at the club that we've missed, please let us know

Read the club update

NOTE: We will NOT  be running an August Clubday this month
Wimmera are running a club day on Saturday August 24, and several members will be racing there

We will post information of when the next Come and Try event is running when we have confirmed more details; but there will not be one in August.
(We should have another kart ready by that time too)

The September club day WILL go ahead and will be preceded by the Annual General Meeting.
We STRONGLY encourage all members to attend, as it is critical to the running of your club.

We then start a lot of work towards our Victorian Country Series Finale in November.
We will be calling on all members to be involved in any way they can and post more details of what we need in the lead up.

 

 

UPDATE: We have had far MORE enquiries than we can accommodate and need to clarify several things:
 
1 This is a come and try PRACTICE session for people interesting IN JOINING the sport of karting.
There is no RACING involved, it is a limited practice session to learn the skills and the track.
 
2 The come and try program is for this Sunday 28 July.
 
3 We have made a list of genuine enquiries and will respond to everyone with whether we can fit them this weekend or not.
If you have NOT submitted an enquiry with age/height details, you may be disappointed if you arrive without notice.

 

 

 

 

In conjunction with our July club-day (Sunday July 28), Ballarat kart club would like to invite anyone interested in karting to come along and have a go at our come and try karts.

We now have 2x club karts available, our senior 100J kart will accommodate (12yo and over) and our cadet 80 (6-12-year-old).

Remember, the come and try kart is reserved for those genuinely interested in karting that have not had the opportunity to drive on a full-size circuit.

The cost is $30 covering administration and consumables.

If you are interested, please get in-touch via our Facebook page, with height, weight and age such that we can determine kart suitability.

NOTE: Not everyone will fit in the karts provided, so height and age is important to check.

 

What a nice winter turnout!
The racing was great in several classes, and the weather was kind.

Today's lucky draw winner was Greg Ord, who scored a $100 JB HIFI Voucher.

Ballarat Kart Club WILL be holding club-day this Month, all classes catered for including 4-stroke class.

We are also very excited to once again have our come and try kart running, so please get in contact with age, height and weight details if you would like to secure a spot, as availability is limited!
so that we can determine numbers.
Gates open 8am, Practice from 9am, Racing from 11.15am

Remember, get organised, get entered, bring a mate and let’s go racing!!!

NOTE: The Come and Try kart is suited to ages 15 and over, and approximately 170cm tall to 200cm tall.
We are working on a come and try kart for under 15s, but that is currently by arrangement with a club member willing to load their equipment.

Don't forget - we are NOT running a May clubday this weekend as most members will be heading down to Cobden's clubday.

We hope to see you all next month for June's club day.

CORRECTION: We accidentally said June originally.

We enjoyed seeing faces out there and racing on the weekend.

Anthony Taylor picked up a $50 gift voucher just for turning up.
Our come and try kart got some great use, and we will work on getting a junior sized one as well.

Conditions clears up from some early moisture, but that prevented plenty of on track fun and challenges early on.

Please note: We will NOT run a May Clubday, so we want to see you all again in June

 

Thanks to some great club volunteers, we now have a Come and Try kart for use at Bring a Mate Club Days.

After its run in, Mal reports its a very fun chassis to drive with a Yamaha J

If you are interested in trying it out, please contact the club first so we can check we have the equipment for your height /weight.

A flat fee of $20 will allow you to have several 6 minute practice sessions between the racing classes of the day under the Bring a Mate rules.

NOTE: The bring a mate program is a demonstration event to allow you to experience driving a kart, it is not for racing.

Next Sunday 29 April is CLUBDAY and we want to see you there after the fires affected last month's plans.
 
We are expecting to see our first Senior 4ss class run - so make sure you get your entry in to let the class build.
 
We also have a new come and try senior kart ready if you have a mate interested in karting.
Cost will be $20 and Bring a Mate Rules apply

Perfect weather kicked off the new year at Ballarat Kart Club, and it was great to see a mix of old and new faces.
