🚨 IMPORTANT CLUB NOTICE 🚨
Due to a number of compounding factors, the committee has made some changes to our upcoming club days:

📅 Sunday 14th September

👉 This will now be a Club Practice Day only.
If you’re a KartSport NZ–affiliated club member, hold a current practice or competition licence, and have paid track access at KartSport Manawatu, you’re welcome to come along for a fun, casual day on track.
✨ Perfect for those new to karting! If there’s interest, we’ll run some “new to karting” sessions during the day.
🍔 The kitchen and bar will be open for limited hours.
