24.01.2022 AGM 10th November!!! The AGM will be held on TUESDAY 10th November at the club house! There are important positions to be filled and we need to vote on the future direction of the club! Don’t think by turning up that you will gain a position, you don’t have to nominate for one if you don’t want. But having an input into the club is necessary if you all want to keep racing with and at our great club! ... We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible! TKRC

23.01.2022 Hi everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I was out at the track today and it needs some TLC desperately after the copious amout of rain we’ve had. We’re trying to come up with a date to do this. We ask as many people as possible get there to help as it’s going to be a lot of work for the usual mob that turn up otherwise. ... All you need to bring is one of the following: mower (ride on or push) whipper snipper Sprayer We will advise when it’s happening soon. Many thanks, Brodie

23.01.2022 Total Tools Tamworth is Tamworth’s leading locally owned tool store. You can find the BIGGEST range of the best brands here plus they’ll order you any specialist tool you need! The team will happily organise freight to wherever you need your order sent. These guys not only race in the club but are also a major sponsor so make sure to pop in and see them when you come for the Northern Zone round in September! Head into 2 Lockheed st, Taminda and see what all the fuss is about.

22.01.2022 KARTING NSW APPROVES NON-GENUINE PARTS FOR IAME REEDJET AND VORTEX MINIROK ENGINES Karting New South Wales will allow the use of some non-genuine parts in its ...Competition Rules for the IAME 100cc Reedjet and Vortex Mini Rok engines from 1 January 2021. The non-genuine parts which shall be permitted in 2021 include replacements for the OEM clutch drum, drive sprocket, starter motor, and stop / start ignition buttons. Additionally wiring looms will be permitted to be repaired to their original condition. The rule change will provide no performance advantage, but is intended to save the karter a significant amount of money. It complements the announcement made in October 2020, which now allows the use of hard-chromed cranks in Mini Rok engines. Graeme Abbott, KNSW State Technical Officer, said We are thrilled with the positive feedback received in October when we announced the use of hard-chromed cranks in Mini Roks. We expect today’s announcement will be equally as well received by karters and industry alike. Ms Alsters, Chair of KNSW said Our vision is simple. It is to see More people karting more often. To achieve this, we need to continue to explore ways to reduce the costs associated with karting. It is anticipated that additional cost-reduction measures will be announced throughout 2021.

15.01.2022 At our meeting last week, a proposition for a logo change was put forward. As a club we need to move forward and look a part of the current times to stay relevant and marketable to potential new members and sponsors in our community. We currently have 3 options:... 1- to stay with our current logo but have it revamped to look more modern 2-The first picture is the new logo with a take on the iconic golden guitar that Tamworth is best known for. 3. The same looking logo though with an outline of our track behind it. This couldn’t be voted to be passed on as there were not enough members present. But your input to any changes and ideas are absolutely most welcome. Please comment below your ideas. #TKRC
