The first race of the season did not see as many karters as we would have liked, but with the 1st round of the S.A titles later in the year, numbers are expected to improve for the next meet on the 21st of April. We all hope to see you there.

Whyalla Kart Club would like to thank all the volunteers, but a special mention to Ron Florentinus for all the ongoing support. Also to Signarama for sponsoring the event.
