The Queensland Floods

While the condition of the kart tracks and facilities are of interest to the readers of KartSportNews, the unfolding flood disaster in Queensland at the moment stretches far beyond our hobby.

Of first concern is the safety and well being of the members of our closely knit 'karting family', their friends and families and the larger community in general.

Offers of help, temporary accommodation, food etc are being made in a discussion thread on kartbook.net HERE.
A number of karters have been reporting their whereabouts in another thread HERE.
