    [NSW] ClubITR Mid-year Go Kart Challenge - Sunday 14th July

    Hi all,

    I have been given the privilege to organise the ClubITR Mid-year Go Kart Challenge. The event will be hosted in sometime July, the event will be more than likely on a weekend day unless there is enough demand for a weekday event. The track has not yet been determined as there are several variables. We want all our members to have a unique go-kart experience, however that is only possible with your help.

    Once we have the venue booked, it will be a first come first served basis. Payment in full will be required and a refund will only be provided if you can find a replacement or if we have sufficient numbers and funds to cover our costs. Numbers will need to be confirmed by end of May. This should be enough time for all of you to arrange time off and organise your finances.

    *** UPDATE ***

    We will be hosting this event at Eastern Creek Karts using their Reduced Mini GP format. This will include 2 practice heats and final rolling grid start race.
    There are 3 track configurations, however EC hold the right on which track will be used. The shorter track, 703m, will yield you around 12 laps in the practice and 20 in the final race. Obviously less for the longer tracks. It's roughly 20 minutes per heat and 30 minutes for the final race. EC is a fairly big, wide and fast paced track so it will make overtaking easy.

    Eastern Creek Go Karts
    Location: 50 Peter Brock Drive Eastern Creek NSW 2766

    It has been unofficially booked for the 14th July for a 10:00am arrival for a 10:30am start. Please be on time. The event will take approximately 2 hours.

    You'll be required to have closed feet shoes, so no thongs, crocs, etc. You will be supplied with helmet, racing suit (overalls) and a hairnet. If you have your own, feel free to bring them!
    IF there are light showers on the day the race will still go ahead. However, if it is heavily raining the event will be postponed.

    Once the event has been officially booked (I am waiting on forms) I will send out a PM with details to confirm your booking. The deposit will be $50 and only once your deposit has been paid your spot has been confirmed. It is a total of $160 so on the day you'll only need to pay $110. Deposit is non-refundable and will only be refunded if you can find a replacement.

    I will need to confirm if this price includes our licenses, I'm assuming it would as it's only $5 for a license.

    Please drive safe and remember to have fun!

    After events are TBD - a separate thread will be created.

    Thanks all.

                  What's Butterfly Farm like?

                  Can we have those with previous experiences at any of the venues in the first post chime in with their thoughts of the venue, quality and pricing?

                    Been to minto, villawood and arncliffe

                    Villawood just got brand new karts, but the track is too small and simple - usually go when we get a coupon for it (heaps cheap if u do), its indoor so plenty of sliding
                    Arncliffe - slightly bigger and more complex track, indoor as well
                    Minto - dodgy karts, my steering rack snapped mid corner - ended up with a massive smash into the tyres

                      I personally haven't been to Butterfly Farm but from what my friend says it's about 50km North West from Strathfield, just a bit north of South Windsor. Friend says the karts are okay when they're moving but extremely slow on the stop starts and low speeds and said he wouldn't go back there but then again he is a fairly big boy lol so might be different for the rest of us.

                      I've been to all the rest except Butterfly Farm and Revesby but I prefer the EC track (3 track configurations), good karts (if we're lucky, we can get 13hp karts!!), it's well organised and has a good structure in place so minimal organising efforts for us and plenty of parking available and not too far from everyone.

                      Most importantly, we need numbers!!! Without numbers, it's is not possible

                          May I also suggest Picton Go Karts - I've been there and the track and karts are great. It's outdoors and it's open with very good quality karts. Track is fairly big as well.
                          EC - Is very good, again you can ask for the main/big track if there's enough numbers and it's probably the best track surface since it's used for international events as well. But price wold be a problem. I paid close to $300 last time for a grand prix race for a friend's bday.
                          Butterfly Farm - Again a very large outdoor track, I haven't raced there on rental karts and only went to watch an open kart track day. Very large track, not too sure on quality of rental karts but they look fairly decent.

                          I would suggest an outdoor track for large groups/gp races. The smaller, indoors one won't be as fun with that many people on the track at once.
