“Sydney Speedway Kart Club is based at Nepean Raceway, Rickards Road, Castlereagh and was started by a couple of Speedway Kart guys and me back in early 2021,” said David Dormer, Club President. “We then incorporated in June 2021 and affiliated with the largest National Speedway Karting association in Australia, the SKAA (Speedway Karting Association of Australia).

“The club was established to grow the sport from juniors to seniors in Sydney. Our members travel throughout Australia, competing from 7 years to 70 years.

“The club has a great relationship with the district, with a number of our 65 members and supporters living in the area. We also get families racing from as far afield as Bega and Tamworth at our meetings. The club is about growing the sport as a family, with a number of speedway stars coming from Speedway Karting.

“Our local track is Nepean Raceway, where we race once a month, from May to October. The club is a large family that helps each other to improve.”

“Sydney Speedway Kart Club’s next race meeting is this Sunday, 25th May, at the Nepean Raceway. Gates open at 7:30am, racing starts at 10am, and entry for spectators is free, with a canteen available for any refreshments.

“It is also a ‘come and try’ day and more details can be found via the club’s FB page or by contacting sydneyspeedwaykart@gmail.com

“The club goes the extra mile to welcome anyone that would like to get involved, as you don’t have to race, you can be an official that helps with running the day.

“If you’re interested in the ‘come and try’ we can help with everything needed, just message us through our Facebook page for more information,” David said.
