Practice night tonight and
It looks like the cadets are EXCITED!!!
Practice nights kick off again this Tuesday night from 5pm.
All KA licence holders are invited, $10 per person for the night.
We'll have the BBQ going and for those of you with a more discerning palette we'll have a charcoal spit roast as well.
We've got a working bee coming up this Saturday from 9-12.
We have a few quick jobs that require an electrician so if you're one of those please pop down and give us a hand.
The track will be closed during the working bee.
Just a reminder that we have our first general meeting of the year tomorrow night from 7:30pm in the canteen.
Hope to see you all there.
We have a few people booked this Saturday to do their Observed Licence Test so they can enter race meetings. It starts at 10am, please print out this form and bring a black copy www.karting.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Safety-Training-Assessment-Record-V2.pdf

We will be holding our first Come & Try evening on the 8th of March.
This event is for anyone aged 7 or older looking to get into karting but would like to have a drive of one before taking the plunge. If this sounds like someone you know tag them here.
Places are strictly limited so please email president@ogkrc.com.au to register your interest. There will be a $50 fee per person but this is fully refundable if you join Oakleigh within 3 months of the night.

This year Oakleigh will be offering day memberships at all of our club days (except Novembers Class Titles) to allow any non-members who wish to race to do so.
The day membership will be free to anyone holding a current KA licence and club membership at another club, forms will be availalbe at the entries office on the day.
Our February club day is a day/night meeting on Saturday the 23rd, a perfect opertunity to come and race and still do club day at your home track on Sunday.
So can they get a night membership as well or can they only do half of a day/night meeting?

About The Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club
Oakleigh kart track is situated only 25 Km from the Melbourne CBD, on the South Eastern side of the city.The club has been established for over 25 years and in that time many changes to the facility have taken place.
The club now has a circuit over 900 meters in length as well as modern up to date facilities with licenced clubrooms and seating for up to 120, as well as a fully equipped kitchen to cater for members and their guests at club events.
Combine this with other features such as track lighting for night events, 3 story starters control tower and a 2 story race control then add to this a circuit design that is both demanding on drivers skills and set-up. Oakleigh is hard circuit to master but once mastered allows the driver to gain the level of experience required for most other tracks. And judging by the number of National and State Champions that have gained their skills at Oakleigh you can see that if you master our track, you can win anywhere.
The Club is permanently expanding and has just purchased 8 Hectares of land. This will enable the club to relocate the exciting pit and car parking areas. The club is also looking at some form of undercover pitting facility for all competitors, as well as investigating the possibility of covering the Grid area. the remainder of the land will at a later stage be used for other kart related activities.
Licensed membership levels at the club have stayed relatively stable over recent years, with a peak of just over 700 in the early 90’s to a level of just over the 600 mark for the last 6 years.
At Oakleigh our membership numbers are based on licence holders , not the total number of members, which is considerably higher. Racing at the club consists of 10 Club Race days – Held on the last Sunday of every month- and 3 to 4 Open Race Meetings throughout the Year. Club Day’s attract about 200 entries with most classes being catered for.
Practice at the Club is restricted to club members only, they are issued with a key to allow them access into the track for practice any day of the week. the track is made available for Non Oakleigh members leading up to Open Race Meetings.
Thank you for taking the time to read this brief insight into the Oakleigh Go Kart racing Club Inc. For more information on the club please feel free to contact us on the numbers in the contacts section,
Yours in Karting
