Southern Go Kart Club kicked off the 2017 South Australian kart season on Sunday, hosting the Australia Day Classic race meeting. Over 90 competitors suited up and braved the 38-degree heat.

Racing on the track was as hot as the day, with fresh faces hitting the track for the first time as well as many drivers experiencing racing in a new class for the first time. Fantastic on track battles throughout the day, many with a common theme of youth versus experience.
