South West Kart Club
Inc was formed in 1992 after a group of interested people decided to call
a public meeting. In seven short years the Club has seen many changes,
the biggest being the hot-mix sealing of a 966metre long x 8metre wide
go-kart racing track. and the building of other amenities which makes the
running of the club a lot easier.

The Club meets regularly
for committee meetings on the Monday before the second Thursday of every
month in the Clubrooms at the track. Every members input into these
meetings is welcomed and encouraged, or alternatively, you can contact
any committee member to discuss any issues or concerns that you may have.
The Club currently
has a steady membership base of 50 families and 40 singles. There
are many types of memberships available - one for every need. Every
member receives a copy of the Club’s monthly newsletter. This keeps
all members informed of meeting details, race dates and results, social
events and fund-raisers, advertisements etc.
Racing members are
able to compete against each other at organized Club Race Days which are
held on the last Sunday of every month (except December). At these
meetings similar weight members race against each other accumulating
points to try to win trophies. which are presented at the conclusion of
the day, these points are tallied up at the end of the year and the highest
point scorer is awarded the title of overall club champion
The Club, through
the State run Victorian Karting Association, (VKA), is allocated up to
three Open Race Meetings per year. This gives Club members a chance
to compete with karters from throughout Victoria on their home track.
Of course the states other Clubs run these Open meetings as well, giving
South West members a chance to race on other tracks. Karters at these Open
meetings race against each other, accumulating points to try to win trophies
and prizes.
