This website is for kart track owners and operators
Our Purpose
RACKA is a recreational and commercial karting association, established in 2021. As a group of family business owners, some with generational experience, outside industry experience or just have a passion for the grass root sport of karting have recognised the opportunity to come together as individual operators with combined experience of Family Hire Kart to develop and create a path forward to self-govern through a proposed RACKA.
“Family Hire Karts” in Australia have no governing body or affiliated association to assist in the development of business, network opportunity for best practice or extension in new sites or platforms.
The "GAP"
The family hire kart industry, although has similarities to karting as a sport, is not aligned to any other governing body. This “GAP” in our industry, is leaving each individual operator from future business improvement, industry information across supplier and best practice in workflow, reporting and risk assessment.
