For the month of May, we will be go-karting at the "Butterfly Farm Indy 800 Kart Track" in Wilberforce, near Windsor.

Meeting point: "The Porter Scenic Lookout" at Dural
Meeting date: Saturday 24th May
Meeting time: 12:00pm
Departure time: 12:30pm

After departing from the meeting location, we will do a short run to the go-karting location, via Cattai Ridge Road.
Everyone must arrive at the go karts no later than 1:30pm sharp.
Please RSVP before 17th May! The venue needs to know numbers, especially whether we will have 10+ people karting.

The price is $65 for 30 minutes (2x 15 minute sessions) or $40 for one 15 minute session, plus a $5 license fee. If we can get a group of 10+ people then there is a saving of $5 per person.
There will be a trophy for the driver who achieves the fastest lap time!

Everyone must wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants, and enclosed lace-up shoes.
According to the Butterfly Farm website, "the kiosk offers a variety of food and drink", in case anyone gets hungry.

Attention members from Newcastle:
The go-karting track is located on Wilberforce Road, which is at the southern end of Putty Road. This would be a good excuse to drive from Newcastle to the go-karts via Putty Road!

Game on!

Can't wait!

Bump.
Remember that all RSVPs are required before the end of next week.

Consider me coming.
 
Does anyone know whether they allow GoPro's on the track? I got told to take mine off at Go Karts Go at Broadmeadow the other day.

I'm not sure. I know that Picton karts didn't mind when Dudeman used his GoPro, but I don't know about this place. You can just bring it along anyway and see what happens.

Anyone who wants to attend but hasn't RSVP'd yet, please do so by the end of tomorrow :-)

Thanks to everyone who came to this event today. It was a perfect day for a cruise and some karting!
 
The venue only recently installed lap timing equipment, and it's a great setup where they email the results to each driver. That's where I got the following info from.
