Go Kart Track in Dalby, also known as Dalby Kart Club, is a premier go-karting facility located off Dennis St in Dalby, Queensland. Situated in the Western Downs region, approximately 2 hours west of Brisbane, this track offers an exciting racing experience for karting enthusiasts of all ages.
Originally built in the early 1980s as a dirt-based circuit, Dalby Kart Club has undergone significant changes over the years. The track has hosted prestigious events such as the AKA Dirt Nationals and Qld Dirt Titles. However, it is now an independent track and not affiliated with any racing associations.
In 2012, the club embarked on a major sponsorship initiative with Peabody Wilkie Creek Mine, JavPac Industries, Foztrax Earth Movers, and Keltic Concreting. This partnership resulted in 80% of the track being coated with concrete, a decision made to overcome the challenges posed by the area's black soil and moveable soils. Thanks to the support of the QLD Government Community Benefit Fund and other sponsors, the entire track was fully concreted in 2018.
With a length of approximately 580 meters, Dalby Kart Track boasts a challenging layout that keeps racers on their toes. The average lap time is around 30+ seconds, providing an exhilarating experience for both beginners and experienced drivers. The track caters to various classes, accommodating kids and adults alike.
One of the standout features of Dalby Kart Track is its floodlighting system, enabling night racing sessions. This unique attribute allows for flexible scheduling and provides an unforgettable racing experience under the stars. The club prides itself on being a family-oriented community, with the spirit of camaraderie and mutual support among karting enthusiasts.
While fun and enjoyment are at the core of the club's values, safety is always a top priority. Basic rules are in place to ensure the well-being of all participants and maintain a secure racing environment. Moreover, Dalby Kart Club strives to educate and inspire the younger generation about responsible and safe driving practices, emphasising the importance of karting as a disciplined alternative to public roads.
For race results, Dalby Kart Club recently transitioned to the SpeedHive MyLaps system in mid-2021. Racers can now access and view their latest race results and live races on the SpeedHive website. Additionally, legacy results from the old MotoSponder system (2021 and earlier) are still available on the club's website.
To keep track of upcoming race meetings, visitors are encouraged to check the club's Facebook page for regular updates. The race calendar provides essential information on scheduled events, ensuring enthusiasts can plan their participation accordingly.
Dalby Kart Club extends its gratitude to the various sponsors who have played a significant role in the track's development and continued success. WDRC, Peabody, Javpac, Foztrax, Keltic Concreters, Drewsys Engineering, and Oh 2 Create are among the valued supporters whose contributions have made Dalby Kart Track an exceptional racing facility.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or a novice, Dalby Kart Track welcomes you to join them for an exhilarating, action-packed day of go-kart racing. Experience the thrill, family fun, and sense of community that make this track in Dalby a standout destination for karting enthusiasts.
