Go Kart Hire

[KrisG]

Hi Guys just wanted to let you all know of the new go kart hire joint that opened up in the south burnett, Its located in Nanango, about 23kms from Kingaroy, 2.5hrs drive from Brisbane. Its very well priced considering the places around Brissie and the coast are over 100 bucks for a decent go, Its on the Road leaving town towards yarraman/blackbutt past the BP and the Park.

The prices are as follows,

10 Mins $10

15 Mins $15

30 Mins $28

The karts go well and arent slow ive been on a few around the area, Caloundra and some in brisbane and these blow them away.

At the moment there are only 1 Kind of karts, soon an addition of another 10 faster karts will be introduced for those who can beat the lap time set in the standard karts.

The track is in awesome condition, there is a canteen. Helmets are supplied although you can bring your own.

I was there on the weekend and it was great saw another line too a white 33.

Contact details are:

Phone : 41710040

Opening times are :

Mondays to Thursdays ... 12:00am till 7:00pm

Fridays ......................... 12:00am till 9:00pm

Saturdays .....................10:00am till 9:00pm

Sundays ....................... 10:00am till 7:00pm

Great fun for the whole family there is even a small track and a kiddies kart as well.

The business is owned and run by my uncle and aunty (5 years in the making but well worth it).. Check it out next time anyone is up that way.

Do you know the specs of the karts? If you're comparing them to the ones of "The Big Kart Track" at Lansborough, i'd hope they're faster, you can hold it flat to the floor the entire way around their track lol.

[KrisG]

I am going to ask the specs next time im up there but you cant hold it flat on these, When he first opened too many people were loosing it so he had to turn alot of the power down on the engines, He has a few ones that are still fast but you have to show u can handle the slower ones first (That are still fast), And yes they are alot faster then the big kart track ones. Its worth the drive to just go there other then the Big Kart Track.

that is true. the big kart track is quite big with some nice corners. but ur on the gas the whole time and the karts are flimsy 18 hundreds machinery

[Dan_B]

true that, i been on the big kart track in the wet, you can still hold it flat and slide all the corners.

Might have to make the drive out and check these ones out

[KrisG]

Yes its about 2hrs-2.5hrs drive so its a bit of fuel but like i said well worth it. Even though its my familys business I think they have done a better job then the existing ones down here, and the more people that go, He said if it gets big enough he will make a bigger track (there is plenty of room) the tracks already big enough but yeah. Also the karts will get faster and faster.

3 Sets of karts 1 Standard 2 Faster and 3 high output ones so i was told.

There u go guys some pics, I plan on taking more when im there on the 22nd again. Be nice if a few of u guys would come

[Turbo Tim]

Looks great, as much as I dislike 4 strokes and hire karts it almost looks worthwhile.

Looks like a nice track anyway, would be some fun in a real race kart

[BAMR33]

Looks very well prepared and costs heaps less than the crappy indoor karts we have in Toowoomba. I'll have a look'in the next time I'm around that area.

[OMR33]

these go karts are faily good, you can hold them flat the whole way round but for 1 corner, ive been there a few times, the karts are getting slower tho, to many ppl abusing them

[gumflapper]

yeh... its a good place 2 go karting... me n kirs went a few months ago and after the first 5 laps, u dnt use the brake anymore... flat around the whole circuit... ended up spending the whole day there... and a bit of the next...
