Kart Racing in Australia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karting became very popular in Australia in the 1960s and Penrith was no exception. In 1962, Welsh-born Roland Davey began to race petrol engine powered go-karts in the Penrith area. Many hours were spent by local enthusiasts converting Victa lawnmower and McCulloch chainsaw motors into highly tuned go-kart engines. This involved casting, moulding, and manufacturing engine parts to improve both performance and speed. At the height of its popularity there were tracks at Londonderry, Branxton, Camden, Lithgow and Granville in the Sydney/Newcastle area. Today, karting is still popular in the region, with local tracks at Castlereagh and Windsor. |
