Round 3 - Sau Vic Go Kart Series

[Tony Olsson]

The SAU Vic 2014 Go Kart Series is run the last Sunday every 2^nd month at several different Karting venues around Melbourne. This year has 3 rounds of racing with trophies/prizes awarded to the top 3 places at the SAU Vic Go Kart Series end of year meet and award night held after the last race.

Rounds are run as per venue rules and points are won just like a 2014 F1 race (without doubles points for the last round) –

1^st - 25pts 2^nd – 18pts 3^rd – 15pts 4^th – 12pts 5^th – 10pts

6^th – 8pts 7^th – 6pts 8^th – 4pts 9^th – 2pts 10^th – 1pt

This third round sees the series at GO Kartsport Racing. The 480m track has sweeping bends and straights for overtaking. A 30.6sec average lap time should make for some quick fun racing!

Understand things change but at the prior round there was mention of the last round being at an outdoor venue with undulations - or was I off with the fairies.

I'm just putting a mental note of the tracks I've been to/would like to go to, so interested if there was another public accessible outdoor venue

[Odium]

John, there were all sorts of dramas even attempting to make a booking with that place, so we shifted to a backup track

[billywhiz]

That's why I put 'understand things change' who was it BTW

[emts]

oh yeah..

money transferred I'm in!

Would have loved a final outside round and even more so with good weather pretty much on us but as Simon said there were dramas with the booking (or the trying of at least! BAHHH!!!!).

Think this as a backup track should be ok though, hope people enjoy it on the day

[emts]

it's go karts, what is there not to enjoy!

[Odium]

I'll be there (Paid)

+ 2 (Ray and Simone) as well

[flyingfridge]

I am IN!

EFT done

[Tony Olsson]

So seeing as though there is no place for a BBQ at the next round there was a place needed for after Kart eats. Such a place has been found and its called Fat Bobs!

Fat Bob's Bar and Grill is located in Moorabbin on the southeast side of Melbourne and is home to handcrafted burgers such as the Jackie-O and the Victa.

To compliment these they offer a diverse array of icy cold beers from around the world, as well as cocktails, milkshakes and spiders. This can all be enjoyed amongst the neon and vintage sign wonderland that is Fat Bob's dining room.

So follow us less than 1km down to Fat Bob's after the race for some re-fueling at one of Melbourne's best Burger joints!

Check out their menu at.

[Tony Olsson]

Ooohhh boy, only a couple of days left till the final round!!! Hope everyone has their race pace on the day! Mmmm and don't forget the burgers!

Sorry Martin, this round will be clothed... The Great Gokart Disaster of 2010 has limited our options when it comes to Pubic Liability Insurance.

A sad day in the club history.
