Welcome to Oakleigh Go - Kart Racing Club Inc.
Oakleigh kart track is situated only 25Km from the Melbourne CBD, on the South Eastern side of the city. The club has been established for over 25 years and in that time many changes to the facility have take place.
The club now has a circuit over 900 meters in length as well as modern up to date facilities with licenced clubrooms and seating for up to 120, as well as a fully equipped kitchen to cater for members and their guests at club events
Combine this with other features such as track lighting for night events, 3 story starters control tower and a two story race control, then add to this a circuit design that is both demanding on drivers skills and set-up. Oakleigh is a hard circuit to master, but once mastered allows the driver to gain the level of experience required for most other tracks. And judging by the number of National and State Champions that have gained there skills at Oakleigh you can see that if you master our track, you can win anywhere.
The club is permanently expanding and has just purchased 8 Hectares of land. This will enable the club to relocate the exciting pit andcare park areas. The club is also looking for a better form of undercover pitting facility for all competitors, as well as investingating the possibility of covering the Grid areas. The remainder of land will at a later stage be used for other kart related activities.
Licensed membership levels at the club have stayed relativly stable over recent years, with a peak of over 700 in the early 90's to a level of just over the 600 mark for thelast 6 years.
At Oakleigh our membership is based on licence holders, not the total number of members, which are considerably higher. Racing at the club consistes of 10 Club Race Days, which are held onm the last Sunday of each month, as well as 4 Open Race Meetings throughout the year. Club days attract over 200 entries with most Kart Classes being catered for.
Practice at the club is restricted to members only, they are issued with a ket to give them access into the track area. The track is only avalible to Non Oakleigh members on Open Race Meetings.
