The 550 metre Wollongong Kart Raceway Track at Kembla Grange was full of excitement over the weekend of May 15/16 for the second round of the 2021 AKRA Championships.
The pits started filling up Saturday morning with karters and campers getting the prime real estate. Some karters left time for fine tuning their karts while the campers got in early and some just chilled for most of the day.
The night campers were still grinning from the previous night’s festivities come Sunday morning as the pits started overflowing and spilling onto the extra back paddock. Plus, cars full of spectators filled the main straight hill once again.
WKR is getting more and more popular and the team at the track, staff, and volunteers are doing a great job making sure it’s all done right and the track and surroundings are looking great – and the karters are focused on having fun with other karting mates.
There were good size fields with 17 Juniors, 17 Nationals, 23 TaG karts and 15 Clubmans making for a full day.
