Kartsport SA Inc, the newest way to race a kart South Australia. Our goal is to offer kart racing that is enjoyable and cost effective. Our committee have many years of experience running karting events and clubs, and also as competitors. Kartsport SA hope to bring all the good parts of our sport back together and offer events that people will want to be a part of.
Anyone can race at our events. We are affiliated with Australian Kart Racers Alliance and offer our own ‘Day License’ at $35 (insurance included), so recreational karters, dirt karters and regular bitumen karters are all welcome to join in the fun without requiring a costly yearly license and yearly club membership, saving you between $400 to $600 a year!
That said, we also offer a 12 month license but a just $120 per year (Jan to Dec) it’s extremely affordable in comparison and you still don’t need a yearly club membership! So it’s an absolute bargain! Our racing rules have been set down to help bring back enjoyable competition, through simplification and with less restrictions.
For those who may have midget/rookie and junior karts still in the shed, with a Comer or KT100J engine on it, there will be classes for them to race in. To those who have a ‘Clubman’ (KT100) kart you are welcome to come out and race it. Our rules do not require a plastic rear bumper, a kart that was legal 5 years ago is likely to be OK with us. The engine rules are opened up a little as well, so if you have modified your engine, opened it up to big bore for a longer life, or whatever, this will be allowed. We hope to attract some dirt kart racers who have maybe thought of trying the bitumen, but never did because of the large start-up costs to get a license, membership and source an unmodified motor.
We successfully re-introduced the over 40’s variable restrictor class for 125cc engines. This has worked very well and has made the sport attractive again to the experienced drivers and has been one of our biggest and most supported classes so far.
We realised that tyres are a major cost factor and set a goal to move classes back to a longer life, lower cost tyre that still offers performance (grip) from the start of 2019. We achieved this goal with flying colours with the introduction of our Maxxis Sport White tyres. Offering a lower purchase price, great grip for all class types, minimal drop off in performance from new and they last! Like really last. How does 300 to 400 laps sound? Incredible right? We are so proud to offer our competitors such a fantastic tyre to race with.
Our website offers all the information you need. From class rules, racing rules and much, much more so please, so have a look around. Be sure to head over to our Facebook page ( www.facebook.com/KartsportSA/ ) and be sure to give us a like to stay up to date with everything with Kartsport SA.
We look forward to seeing you on track with Kartsport SA soon.
