Members please note that an update to the Australian Karting Manual can now be downloaded.

The most important of these changes is the update that now allows the Rotax EVO engine and components to race in the TAG and TAG restricted classes. Weights in these classes have been adjusted accordingly.

You can view the article posted by Karting Australia HERE

Please make yourself aware of the updated rules.

The track will be closed to all members for private practice next Monday 18th May 2015 from 7am to 6pm – track has been booked for a private function.

Track will re-open for practice 8am Tuesday 19th May 2015.

Please find attached below the sup regs for May Club Day. This Club day will be run in a Clockwise direction i.e. up the hill. The track will be available for practise in this direction from 8am Saturday 23rd May 2015.

Entries are currently open on the KA:CMS.

IKD have again put the offer up for a set of tyres at this Sunday's Club Day (26th April). The only requirement is that at least 12 entries race!

If at least 12 turn up the tyres will be drawn at random so you don't have to get on the podium to win some tyres. We had 12 at the first club day so just by turning up and racing you could win a brand new set of Mojo's.

If you do intend on racing please pre-enter on the KA:CMS - pre-entries close Wednesday night but entries will still be taken on the day.

Please find a link below for a flyer from Vic Roads regarding road closures and access to GKCV this weekend for Round 2 of the 2015 Victorian Kart Championship

Additional signage will be displayed so that participants can access the track. Traffic operators will be informed of our meeting this weekend and will assist where possible.

Please inform Traffic operators you are going to the Go Kart Track and you will be let through any closures.

Could members please keep an eye out for these karts and trailer. If you see this trailer on the road or come across these karts please contact the police.

My Son & I are members of the GKCV and are both keen competitors at club level. Karting is a fantastic sport to participate in with your child, especially during teenage years when spending time with your parents is not high on the agenda for most kids.

Unfortunately our time in the sport may have ended because our trailer containing both our karts and absolutely everything we own was stolen from our factory in Hallam on Easter Sunday. It is looking highly unlikely that our insurance will cover them.

Trailer was a large white single axle enclosed trailer with side that opened up entirely. Rear door had “The body Shop paint supplies” sign writing.

Needless to say we lost all our gear including helmets, suits gloves, trolleys, spare X30 engine, all my tools, axles, hubs, all our tyres, snipers etc etc
Also our licences and fob pass to the Todd Road gate were in the trailer.
Any assistance to recover things and keep us karting would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
