Getting Kids Into Circuit Racing

Featured Replies

Hey Guys and Girls.

Just want to know know about other Motorsport options for Kids

My 12 yo races a KE30 speedway and Dirt Karts

My 8 yo races Dirt Karts and will move into speedway when she turns 10.

 

Are there any curcuit options for juniors ?

If so any info on approx cost, seasons ( Summer or Winter ) track locations Vic.

Would be great.

Thanks

Andy

 

 

hey mate from the age of 15 you can race sprints at winton but as far as circuit thats as young as is aloud and circuit karts if you wanted

u can do motorkhana from 12, which is a great way to build the skills before they get on a track with some other drivers of questionable skill levels. Then khanacross at 14 to work on the faster car control aspects.

Yeah as far as I know circuit racing in karts is the best and most affordable option for kids under 14/15.

 

Oakleigh Kart Club is one of the bigger clubs in Melbourne, but it depends on where you are as to where will suit.

We have the kids dirt karting.

They love it.

I did consider bitumem as dirt karting season shuts down in winter and this still could be a option.

The bitumem karts are a lot newer than the dirt karts, I like the frames to flex so old karts where we can cut things out are the go.

The engine rules also different, I don't think our engines are AKA legal.

So I figure bitumem karting budget to be and please correct me If I'm wrong, 700 to join and yearly fee, then about 3000 to 4000 for a kart ?

X2 as i have two kids.

 

I was curious about track options and in the longer term I think this could be the way to go.

 

Thanks

So far

Andy
