The club committee has now given you two more reasons to race at the Southern City Classic on November 20 2016. The reasons – there will be two $500 random prize draws conducted at the event, which any competitor has the chance to win. You must be in attendance at the draw, or a redraw will take place.

The track will be open all day on Saturday November 19 2016 for anyone wishing to practise for this event.

Full event details and supplementary regulations are available on the race entry page.

Please take the time to pre-enter for the event.

The Club Championship points for 2016 have been tallied and are available for download.

These are the final standings for the year as the upcoming class titles event is not a championship round.

Congratulations to the winners in their respective classes.

A beautiful sunny Spring day for Oakleigh’s October Club Day – a Saturday day/night affair with the promise of a clear night ahead. Numbers a bit down, perhaps with the Melbourne Cup Day “long weekend” so many people seem to take these days, but for those that turned up, a perfect day. Once Qualifying was completed we got racing underway.

Zachary Marshall off pole with Andrew Ceravolo beside him and as we go green Marshall to the lead, Ceravolo, then Tristan Fusinato, William Hewett into 4^th but Hewett out at Tony Kart turn on Lap 4 as 3 karts try to go through a corner best suited to 1. From there on Marshall extended his lead and took the chequered flag ahead of Fusinato who got past Ceravolo.

Heat 2 and Marshall leads them away, Fusinato and Ceravolo behind him with Hewett quickly up to 4^th after his Heat 1 DNF. By Lap 3 these 4 had bunched up and Fusinato and Ceravolo were putting on a show of dicing, then Hewett got on the back of Ceravolo but he was not proving easy to pass. So in the end they crossed the line in this order: Marshall, Fusinato, Ceravolo and Hewett. Continue reading →

September Club Day at Oakleigh dawned sunny and a bit windy but evolved into a fine day for racing. Numbers were a little down, maybe affected by the Australian Kart Championships being run at GKCV’s Todd Rd circuit in Port Melbourne, but those who turned up at Oakleigh had, for the most part, a good day’s racing. I see that a couple of ex Oakleigh racers triumphed at Todd Rd too, with Dave Sera taking out national Title #18, this time in KZ2, and Matt Mclean who also turned many laps at Oakleigh as a Junior taking the KA3 title – well done to both of them (and anyone else I missed!).

Thanks to Andrew from AKD Photography who again turned up to provide pics for this month’s meeting, see his work at  www.akdphotos.com and grab a shot of yourself or your pilot.
