On Saturday night we hit up Cullen Bullen speedway for some track time!

It was hot heat and the track bumpy, but that didn’t stop us from having an amazing time! 🌡️💥 It was great to be racing with the NSW #1 again and 2 new guns on the track too. it really could have been anyone’s race to win!

Even though our plan was to just to have a practice session, we were happy with #44 securing 2nd place, closely followed by #4 in 3rd. 🏆🥈🥉

We couldn’t be more excited for the upcoming months, as we gear up for some intense and competitive racing in Victoria and Queensland! 🚗💨 It’s going to be an adrenaline-fueled journey, and we can’t wait to see what challenges and victories lie ahead!

A huge shoutout and heartfelt thanks to our incredible sponsors, who continue to support us on this thrilling ride! Without their generosity and belief in us, none of this would be possible. 🙏🏽❤️

Northbank Open Day this Saturday at Blakes Marine. Drop in & check out the 600C, 650HT & 750HT we will have on display.

Just a quick trip to Tamworth for some seat time yesterday and boy, were we lucky with the weather! It was hot and sunny all day until we went out to race the feature. Unfortunately, the rain decided to make an appearance and we were sent back to the pits.

But hey, we didn't let a little rain dampen our spirits! We patiently waited out the shower while the fender benders went out to try and bring the track back to its racing condition. We were hopeful, but sometimes things just aren't meant to be.

Despite the disappointment, we are incredibly grateful for the track time we did get and for the tremendous effort put in by the East Coast and Tamworth crew. They went above and beyond to do everything they could to salvage a great day. Their dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed.

A special shoutout to Jase for lending a helping hand and offering some valuable advice. Your support meant the world to us!

While we may not have been able to race as planned, we are still grateful for the opportunity to be out on the track and for the amazing people who made it possible. Here's to hoping for better weather next time and more exciting racing adventures! 🏁🌞🙏

What a weekend RiteLight Electrical Services SKAA NSW Title!
Although it didn't go exactly as planned for us, we still had some great moments on the track.

Our #44 driver showed immense determination, finishing her heats in 6th, 4th, and 4th place. This put her in position 6 for the feature race, where she raced like a true champion and secured 7th place finish.

Our #4 driver also showcased his skills, finishing 4th, 7th, and 6th in the heats. Starting the feature race in 8th spot, he gave it all and crossed the finish line in 9th place.
We couldn't be prouder of both of them!

It's always important to celebrate the victories, no matter how big or small.
It's a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team.

Looking ahead, we are excited for our next race in Tamworth. It's going to be a change of pace as we switch to the Junior Standard Class. The "J" motors will be going into retirement. We can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

Thanks goes to the Sydney Speedway Kart Club and all the volunteers for their solid effort and commitment.

Last weekend was an absolute blast at the Sydney Speedway Kart Club Final Series Round. What a day. 🏁

We couldn't be prouder of our #4 driver with an impressive performance in the heats, placing 3rd, 5th, and 1st, he truly drove like a champ. Despite facing some challenges in the feature race due to a poor set up, he stayed focused and finished in a fantastic 4th place. Way to go! 🏆

Our #44 driver had an amazing start to the day, securing two 2nd places in heats 1 and 2. She had highest points going into heat 3, However, a dropped chain on the start led to a DNS and put her to the rear of the field for the feature race. Despite racing with a less-than-ideal set up, she showed incredible determination and stayed right behind #4 through the race, finishing 5th. You rock! 🚀

Let’s not forget about mum who took on the ladies class in the Garage 64 Motorsport #64. She had a killer day, securing two 4th places and a 3rd place in the heats. Starting the feature race in 3rd spot, she raced like a true champion, holding onto 3rd place until just two laps to go, a driving error allowed two karts to pass her, she still finished in a commendable 5th place. We're so proud of her improvement and determination! 💪

We would also like to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation to all our sponsors. Your support means the world to us and we couldn't do it without you. Thank you for being a part of our racing journey! 🙌

Overall, it was a day filled with excitement, challenges, and incredible performances. We're grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing racing community. Let's continue to chase our dreams on the track! 🏎️💨

💔 Heartbreaking News: Sydney Speedway in Jeopardy 💔

Although we haven’t raced here yet, one day we would love to! Our New Sydney Speedway, the place where we've started to make new memories after the closure of Valvoline Raceway is now facing an uncertain future.

Whether it's the government, the promoter, or other circumstances, the fact remains that our treasured racing in Sydney is at risk. The thought of losing the place where we've experienced joy, excitement, adrenaline, and camaraderie is simply…. Sad…

Sydney Speedway has been more than just a track to us; it's been another place where we’ve formed lifelong friendships. The memories and people we've met are priceless.

We must rally together, united by our love for speedway racing, and fight for Sydney Speedway. It's time to take action, to make our voices heard and ensure that this venue can grow for generations to come.

Let's reach out to our local representatives, share our stories, and emphasize the importance of preserving this iconic speedway. Let's raise awareness to show the immense value Sydney Speedway brings to our lives and racing community.

Remember, it's not just about us and our passion for speedway karts. It's about preserving a place that can be just like Valvoline was to the generations before us! Together, we can make a difference and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to experience the thrill and excitement that Sydney Speedway can deliver.

So, speedway kings and queens! Let's come together, stand up for what we believe in, and fight to save our beloved Speedway in Sydney! Share this post, spread the word, it will not only save our track but also remind the world of the incredible spirit and resilience of the speedway racing community. 💗💛

SAVE OUR SPEEDWAY!

I’m not sure everyone grasps what is at stake for the sport of Speedway in Australia right now.

I’m incredibly passionate about seeing our sport thrive like it should, and I know so many of you are, too.

If we don’t SHARE that we care about our sport, neither will the government.

On October 21, 2019, The NSW Government announced the compulsory acquisition of Valvoline Raceway.
It was because of the ensuing outcry immediately following the announcement that the NSW Government fronted media the very next day and promised that a "WORLD CLASS SPEEDWAY" would be built BEFORE Valvoline Raceway was demolished...

SO many within the industry offered their time, money, and expertise to ensure that this new facility was everything the sport deserved - a proud HOME for Australian Speedway.
Those same people were turned away, guaranteed the NSW Government would build a world-class venue.

Now, almost 4 years on & $100 MILLION of tax payers money spent and Sydney no longer has a speedway to race at.

The new speedway NEEDS to be fixed, and this time, the speedway community HAS to be consulted.

If you care about Speedway/Dirt Track racing, please share this post!

🦆 What an eventful weekend at Nepean Motorsport Park for the Karting NSW Titles! Day 1 started off with a bit of a setback as #4 was unable to compete due to illness. However, #44 showed incredible determination and raced her heart out during practice, qualifying 4th fastest out of 16 participants.

In the qualifying round, #44 finished 7th and started heats 1 and 2 from position 4, securing 2nd and 3rd place finishes. With these impressive results, in heat 3 she started from position 7 and fought her way through a fast field to finish 3rd overall.

Day 2 brought new challenges as #4, feeling slightly better, had to start the pre-final in position 16 (last) due to not completing any racing on the previous day. Undeterred, he showcased his skills and managed to finish 6th, which was also his starting position for the feature race.

Meanwhile, #44 started the pre-final in position 4 but unfortunately got bumped by another competitor, pushing her back to 5th. Despite this setback, she maintained her position throughout the race. This meant she started the Feature from position 5, alongside #4.

Excitement filled the air as our Ducks, #44 and #4, lined up in a competitive field of 16. However, luck was not on #44's side as she got caught up in an on-field incident, preventing her from finishing the race. On the other hand, #4 powered through the 25 laps and secured an impressive 3rd place finish. Congratulations to #4 for becoming NSW Number 3!

#44 had a fast day and adapted to the track change like a pro. She finished 2nd, 1st and 3rd (where she started from the rear as the top points sitter) She started the feature in 2nd spot to drive convincingly and finished the feature race in 2nd spot 🥈

#4 struggled in the 1st heat to get the jist of the smaller track but quickly got into a groove and finished his heats in 3rd, 4th and 4th. He started the feature in 3rd spot where his drive was to be proud of, he drove hard and finished 3rd. 🥉

So proud of the Top 3 in the Junior class once again going to the Omega Speedway Karts!

A Great Result at Nepean Motor Sports Club for Round 1 of the Sydney Speedway Kart Club series! 🏁🏎️

We had an amazing day out with 7 talented juniors racing their hearts out. The race meeting was clean and perfect, making it even more enjoyable for everyone involved.

A special shoutout to #4 who drove exceptionally well and secured a heat race win, putting him in a fantastic position at P2 for the feature race. He displayed great skill and determination, finishing 3rd overall for the day. Well done, #4!

Another standout performance came from #44, who had a consistent day of racing. Starting the feature race from P3, she drove with incredible determination and secured 2nd place, finishing 2nd overall for the day. Amazing job, #44!

But the highlight of the day was seeing Omega Karts dominating their class, taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions. What an incredible achievement!

A special shoutout to mum who took on the challenge of getting in a kart for the first time and racing in the ladies class! She decided to step out of her comfort zone and take on the challenge of kart racing. 🙌🏎️

It was such a fun day for her, and she absolutely loved experiencing of what we do from the driver's seat. She finished an impressive 3rd for the day.

Her aim was to encourage others to try something new and not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone! Embrace the excitement!
We hope that this encourages more ladies- new or existing to the sport-to come out and join us for a spin at the next round. 💪🏁

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, who have been instrumental in supporting our team's success. Thank you to Blakes Marine Online Concrete Cutting Services, Ajian Plumbing Services, 0414Lawyer, RiteLight Electrical Services Pty Ltd and B & B Graphics for your unwavering support.
