On July 9 the Victorian Superkart Club celebrates its 40th year of racing.
The Club was formed very early in 1976 under the auspices of the Victorian Karting Association. At the time it was known as the VKA Road Race Division with its roots being at the Corio track just outside of Geelong.
During this period the club also raced at Brooklyn, Mac Park in Mount Gambier, Winton, Calder, Broadford, Adelaide International Raceway (A.I.R.) and others around the country often sharing meetings with Motorcycle clubs.

In February of 1984 the club changed its name to the Victorian Superkart Division, and in July of 1986 registered itself as the Victorian Superkart Club Inc. The club affiliated with CAMS later that same year.
"Over the years we’ve had only seven Presidents and lay claim to over Fifty National Champions" the club informed KartSportNews.
"We wish to thank our members for their support and especially the many committee members and volunteers over the last Forty Years who have given of their time in our exciting form of Motorsport."
A 40th Anniversary celebration dinner is planned for July 30. The function will also see the club's 2016 series Champions crowned.
