Practice Suspended in the Clockwise direction.
At the committee meeting on Wednesday night the committee made to decision to suspend practice in a clockwise direction until further notice. We have identified this as a hazard and we are looking at option to allow us to return to practicing in this direction at any time.
You will be allowed to practice in the clockwise direction on the Saturday before the March and September clubday which will be run in the clockwise direction. The committee will undertake to fit the bags to the pit gate on Saturday morning (prior to these two meeting) before any practice in that direction can commence. The pit gate with the bags fitted must be closed at all times when kart are on the track practicing in the clockwise direction.
Track Usage While the Mower is Working.

We have a contractor come in and mow the lawns at the track roughly every 2 weeks.  While the contractor is working, access to the pits is allowed but  use of the track is prohibited. Our mower contractor needs to stop operation if there is a driver on the track, as this is a health and safety issue for both the kart driver and the mower contractor. This is not only a disruption to the mower contractor, but may results in extra costs to the club. Please be respectful and wait until he has completed the lawns before going on to the track.

 

This new rule is effective immediately.  Any member found to be on the track while the mower is in operation will have their key removed from them.

 

Our race meetings are held on the last Sunday of every month at the Todd Energy Raceway, which is located at the end of Joll Street, Waitara, not far off State Highway 3.  We have top-class and well-maintained facilities including a great café which is open on Club Days.  Spectators are free, so if you’re interested, come along and have a look.

 

Karting is a great family sport, and caters to all ages (and abilities!) from the Cadet Class (ages 6 through to twelve) through to Senior classes (ages 15 and upwards).  Here in Taranaki we hold a Winter and Summer Series (raced over four meetings each), together with one-off events such as annual Club Championships and Enduro races.

 

For the more serious competitor, you can progress to racing in out of province series (such as the Goldstar Series held at the Taranaki, Hawkes Bay, Manawatu and Wellington tracks) and the North Island and National Sprint Champs, held annually each year.

 

The KartSport New Zealand website http://www.kartsport.org.nz has some very useful detail on what karting is all about.
