April Club Day Run and Won
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.

New Come and Try Kart
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.
