FREE to drivers who register on-site for TRAK Race 1, Rookie Training is mandatory for all members who are new to club racing this year and to those who are looking to join the club for the first time. The afternoon; Timed Practice component is then open to ALL Club Members with Fifteen bonus points awarded to ALL drivers who participate in the afternoon ‘Timed Practice’ sessions.

TRAK Race 1 ‘Bruno Polo Memorial Race’ will take place Saturday April 15th. Sponsored by Reeve Webster Racing in association with The Racing Topic, a podcast produced by Chad Webster Racing. As always, drivers can expect some extra prizes at the podium as long time Club supporter Trevor Reeve always goes over and above. The event will utilize the traditional Long Track Configuration and will follow the standard Qualifying Race format. Registration will take place on-site and will be open all week leading up to and including Saturday morning. Goodwood Kartways has dedicated the entire week to Private Kart Lapping providing ample opportunity for karters to get out and knock off the winter rust while testing and tuning in preparation for TRAK Race 1. Those who come out to practice are permitted to setup and leave trailers on-site leading up to Saturday’s race. Visitors from other Clubs are always welcome! Race One Details can be found below.
