Why kart with us?
Ballarat Kart Club is a proudly friendly, volunteer-run club based at Haddon, just outside Ballarat.
Families and racers of all ages are part of club life, with great racing, a well-kept facility and a welcoming atmosphere from first-timers to experienced state-level competitors.
Our volunteers, committee, working groups and officials continually pitch in — running events, maintaining the facility and regularly improving the club for the next generation.
- Genuinely welcoming — our New Member Liaison helps you find your feet from day one.
- All ages and abilities — from six-year-olds in Junior Sprockets through to Masters racers.
- Come and Try days — get behind the wheel in a club-owned kart without buying all the gear first.
- Plenty of opportunity to practice — members can use the circuit regularly, with social practice sessions throughout the year.
- Real racing when you're ready — club race days plus competition through events such as the Victorian Country Series.
- 65+ years at Haddon — generations of members have raced, volunteered and built the club here since the early 1960s.
- A club that keeps improving — continual investment in the track, pits, grid, race facilities and amenities.
- Family-friendly off the track too — canteen, baby change facilities, modern female amenities and space for the family to enjoy the day.
