Its been a stellar start the year with almost 500 entries over 2 rounds so far- surpassing even the most optimistic estimates.
Round 3 comes around very fast with only a short break after Ballarat last month.
Wimmera Kart Club is a small bullring of a circuit - make sure you know how to pass in traffic because you wont get much of a let up.
Its also the home track of karting legend Remo Luciani.

NOTE: Due to Wimmera's smaller grid capacity and the huge popularity of round 1 and 2; we have have to move qualifying to Saturday afternoon.
We know this won't suit all karters, but its the best option available.

- Kerbrider drivers of the day prizes for Cadets, Juniors and Seniors (Steward voted)
- MG Tires in TAG Light and TAG Heavy thanks to DPE Kart Technology (Random draw)
- Hundreds of dollars of random prizes from Dunlop Kart Sport and Rock Oil (Random draw)

I wouldn't apologise for moving qualifying to Saturday as I think its a fantastic idea.
Practice Saturday Morning,
Qualify Saturday afternoon
Race on Sunday
Does it get any better?
With the (2-3) practice sessions on Saturday morning which is sufficient and it doesn't force people to take Friday off to get some track knowledge. Saves on accommodation money as a bonus and as a result gives everyone half a chance to be competitive.
Maybe a extra heat on Sunday would make it unbeatable but I am happy with the format and the entry numbers confirm that many other karters feel the same.
Well done VCS you have done a great job!
Thanks Joe- We know that some people actually like this format more - but it doesn't suit everyone (eg: People who work Saturdays or want to finish early to go to the pub Saturday)After Horsham we are back to higher grid capacity tracks and qual and racing should all fit on Sunday again3 days now till pre-entries close and we have a solid 186 onboard.Its going to be the biggest event at Wimmera Kart Club in quite a while - should be a great weekend.
