Karting has a rich history in this country, and much of it was captured in the pages of the publications of the time.
Has anyone else been around long enough to remember these titles?
I was a contributor for Australian Kart Report in the late 1980s (which turned into Kart & Formula Magazine for 1990 and beyond) and I've found a number of copies of these magazines that are surplus to my own collection.
Once I've worked out exactly what I have here (hopefully within the next few weeks), some of them will be available to go to new homes.
These are not the only titles I have. I've got quite a few Australian and international karting publications, plus a huge stack of general motor racing magazines that will be let go on a first in, first served basis.
