    The Sporting Car Club have announced the Date for the Old Crocks run next May. Might be an opportunity to put on a display. Plenty of time to get a few more CKs built.

    Had a great day at The Bend with the SAVSA crew. We had a prime spot on the green outside the main building.

    Had a great day at The Bend with the SAVSA crew. We had a prime spot on the green outside the main building.

    Was interesting to watch people make their way along the lineup of cars and then start scratching their heads when they got to the Cyclekart. Their confusion was probably addled by the lack of bodywork. It definitely piqued the interest of a few people.

    Was also great to watch the kids sitting in the Speedcars, a favourite with parents and children alike. Unfortunately the Cyclekart was without a seat so missed out on that opportunity this time around.

    We handed out a few flyers and chatted to a few people. I also got a few ideas for a better display for the next event. Had an opportunity to take a walk around the facility and watch a bit of racing too.

    Looking forwards to the next event at Mt Barker on the 10th.

    A big thanks to Bill and the SAVSA crew for their hospitality.

    This was shared on the FB page (thanks Paul Carolan), too good not to also share it here as well.

     Australia's forgotten grand prix was a coastal road race. Now memories are being revived

    Every day, South Australians drive on the circuit of the state's first grand prix, but most have no idea of the history beneath their wheels.

    Race Meet Location
    Posted on Wednesday, 15 November 2023
    Thought I'd start a thread for race meet location ideas. I've been scouring through the local go-kart tracks to see if there is one that might be suitable. The commercial ones are pretty expensive to hire and the club tracks are generally only open t ...

I don't know why that change was made to the conditions. Could be local resident complaints, could be risk / accident related or maybe something more politically motivated. I've made contact with the council, but waiting for the land management department to get back to me. If I can get an understanding of why the clause was added, I may be able to mitigate for it. After all, whilst Cyclekarting is related to GoKarting, it's not the same sport. I might also reach out to the club and see if they can shed any more light on it.  More ...

The track is prettyI went over to the Gillman Rd. track yesterday, it's not in bad condition, just has grass growing in cracks in the surface. The track is pretty tight, certainly would be interesting with only one braked wheel. The gate is padlocked, otherwise I would be tempted to take my cart over for a quick spin, you can only get thrown out ! I would think the track was closed due to noise complaints from the neighbours.  More ...

The main issue is that they are generally used 7 days a week and whilst they do offer private hire, it is only for a few hours and works out to be fairly expensive. Then there is the issue of insurance relating to vehicles that are not maintained by the track owners and are not built to a specified standard. The more you look into this, the more of a can of worms it becomes.

      There is a similar issue with using GoKart club tracks. They are also used 7 days a week, generally being open for club members for testing / training when not being used for club events. Even if Cyclekart owners became financial members of the club so that they could used the track, the slower vehicles would no doubt be a hinderance to the faster Go Karts, plus there might be limited opportunity for organising Cyclekart events.

      I'm hoping that we can find a track that has availability for us to use for one night a month without being super expensive.         More ...
