Go Karts getting dirty!

---

On this sunny Sunday afternoon I found myself in Wallaroo whilst touring in South Australia.
Driving down the main stretch something caught my eye, it was a motorcade of go kart trailers!
I followed in hot pursuit (to the speed limit) were I found a gathering at the Yorke Peninsula Dirt Kart Club.
It was a Rookie DAY!

Father Son moment

3 2 1 GO.. KARTS

Getting a bit arty

 

The facilities and track were well presented and in amazing condition. But what really blew my mind was watching these Karts drifting around a dirt track! It was spectacular and for several moments i found myself entertaining the thought of this style of Motorsport.
It has several obvious advantages to regular Motorsport:

• Relatively low setup cost
• Family friendly
• Low maintenance costs
• High satisfaction
• Low speed, but epic control and a “fast feeling”

I admit I went a bit snap happy! But shooting the karts was also loads of fun.
I’ll keep an eye out for these events in future 🙂
