24.01.2022 What has been known as Tongs corner over the past 16 years has had an update. It is now the B&J Joiners Corner. Over the years it’s had many names, Tongs Corner, Burnie Mitsubishi Corner and prior to that it was known as Steering Brake and Clutch Corner. Does anyone know of any other names this corner has gone by over the years? The NWKC would like to thank Rohan Tongs and Tongs Sheetmetal for their support of the NWKC over many years.

19.01.2022 Let’s be honest, we all love racing, but karting is so much more than that. It’s about the friendships and how the karting community comes together and supports each other in our own small moments of triumph and heart ache that makes karting great. This is just one of the many beautiful stories that’s happening all around our state at the moment. The hard work and dedication that all four clubs and it’s many members are putting in to our sport to foster and grow the next generation of karters has been wonderful to see over this past year. Our club looks forward to seeing many more stories just like this one happen all over the state.
