13.01.2022 Hi there members Who wants to go racing in October ? After a lot of phone calls and organising we would like to announce that in conjunction with North Shore Kart Club we have locked in the Metro Cup for 2020. The 2020 Metro Cup will be run over two rounds this year, Round 1 at Eastern Creek on October 11th Round 2 & final at Newcastle on October 25th... October the 25th will also double as the Final round of the NKRC 2020 club championship. That's right unfortunately we have had to cut the championship back to only 4 rounds this year. The NKRC board have worked extremely hard to get 5 rounds in but unfortunately the Covid pandemic has taken it's toll on our championship this year. The NKRC board are also planning to run a fun Christmas event in late November (Saturday 21st November) with more details to follow on this meeting in the near future. Hopefully this lets you plan your October racing and we will have the sup regs available ASAP. Best of Luck to all the NKRC members that are travelling down to the Karting Australia NSW titles this upcoming weekend in Bega. Hopefully there are few blue plates heading back to NKRC. See more

03.01.2022 Hey awesome NKRC Members and Friends. We hope everyone is looking forward to racing this weekend and it looks like we have a few first time racers which is awesome. A couple of pointers for first timers out there. Be sure to read everything in the links below, there is some very handy information and links to the Supplementary Regulations, scrutineering forms and covid-19 declaration. The sup regs have all the information about the race including what fuel to use and wher...e to buy it, what tyres to use, what time to get your kart scrutineered etc Be sure to keep your fuel receipt as you may be asked to produce this at some point throughout the day. Although the scrutineering form is now online (to be completed before 5pm Saturday) as a P plater you will still need to get your kart and equipment checked by the KA technical officer. To do this you will need to be at the out grid at 7am with your kart, helmet and all of your driving gear. You will also need a transponder and provide the transponder number on your scrutineering form. If you do not have a transponder you can hire one from the club but please do so by COB Saturday. Be sure to have a red P plate attached securely to the back of your kart. The race order will be displayed on the building near the out grid. Be aware of the two classes in front of you as when you see that class go on track, it is time for you to be on at the back of the out grid. Learn all your flags and listen to the officials and volunteers and remember the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask. The most important thing to remember is have fun and stay safe. If anyone else has some pointers for new racers please put them in the comments section below. http://www.kansw.com.au//newcastle-club-championship-rnd-/ http://www.kansw.com.au//Newcastle-Approved-Supplementary- https://kartingaustralia.wufoo.com//ka-scrutineering-reco/ https://kartingaustralia.wufoo.com//covid19-declaration-n/
