What a fantastic weekend at the Kim Rodda Memorial held at Port Pirie Go Kart Club

First, a big thank you to the club and all the volunteers. Two-day meetings take a mountain of work. And this one ran with heart. It was one of those weekends that reminds you racing isn’t always about trophies.

For Team Omega it’s was about digging deep when things don’t go your way. Jett Herring was up against a really strong junior light field while also learning a new track with at times a tricky surface. After a crash left him with a DNF and some bent gear, it would have been easy to lose momentum. Instead, he just kept pushing. And in the final, he found his rhythm and drove through to a well-earned fifth.

Lyndon Calvert also had to reset after a DNF early. Sitting eighth heading into the Red Can Rumble, he put together the kind of drive that swings a weekend. He carried that into the final and stormed to third overall. A brilliant recovery.

Erin Forrestal showed pace and consistency all weekend in KT Light. She put herself right in the mix with a front row for the Rumble. One small mistake made that final tough, but she never stopped fighting. BTW happy sixteenth birthday Erin. Hope it was a ripper.

It was also great to catch up with so many of our customers across the weekend. We’re proud to support everyone we can through the shop, whether you’re in one of our chassis or not. More photos and moments to share soon, including some great shots from Jagger Hall Photography. Stay tuned.

Round one of the SIXT 125 X Series is in the books.

What an incredible way to kick off the the 1st round at Morgan Dirt Kart Club Inc

The debut of the Omega Race Karts sponsored 125 Statesman class exceeded expectations, with strong numbers, competitive racing and plenty of positive feedback throughout the weekend.

I finished 2nd in the feature and set the fastest lap, but the highlight for me was seeing the new class hit the track and prove it belongs in the SIXT 125 X Series.

A massive thank you goes to all competitors, officials, volunteers, sponsors and supporters who helped make Round 1 such a success.

Special thanks to Brenton Colmer for his outstanding coverage throughout the weekend.

I'd also like to give a shout out to our Omega Race Karts drivers who represented the brand proudly across the meeting. Seeing Omega karts competing, developing and enjoying their racing is exactly why we do what we do.

Bring on Round 2 at Port Pirie Go Kart Club 11th July.

Good to see the Omega crew showing some pace at Blanchetown Dirt Kart Club Junior Trophy Day over the weekend.

Jett Herring debuted his new Omega chassis in Junior Lights and put it on pole for the final first time out. A messy start made things difficult, but the speed was there all day and he was recognised with the Rising Star award as well. Looking forward to seeing what comes next with this combination.

Lyndon Calvert brought home 3rd in 125 Heavies, looking strong all day and showing some seriously good pace.

Ben Seal finished 2nd in 125 Mediums. Pretty good for a bloke still on his probation license, so can’t wait to see what he can do with a bit more experience in the mix.

Fun fact: Ben and Lyndon drove up together. I’m told the bragging rights from Ben on the drive home were next level. 😆

Brody Staker took the win in KT Lights. This one has been a long time coming. Since the Masters his pace has continued to build, and it’s been good to watch him go from strength to strength and now become a genuine contender wherever he races.

Allan Reynolds in KT Mediums had one of those weekends karting throws at you sometimes. The pace was there, but things just didn’t quite fall his way.

Brayden Furler in KT Lights showed strong speed all weekend and looked right in the mix. Results don’t always tell the full story, but there’s plenty to build on there.

Proud to see the effort these drivers and families put in every meeting. The trophies are great, but seeing drivers improve and grow in confidence is what it’s all about. Big thanks to the club for putting on a great show and Kenny once again for twisting spanners.

On to the next one. See you at Adelaide Dirt Kart Club Dirt Kart Club next weekend.

The NSW dealer, Karting Direct, took the new Omega PK40 out for its first run this weekend.

This was the reaction after coming in from Heat 1…we have started noticing a few symptoms like this once new owners have a crack in their new kart so thought we should put out the following:

WARNING
First drives in an Omega may cause:
• Uncontrollable smiling
• Sudden confidence increases
• Competitors looking up Kart prices at 11pm
• Turning up at every meeting possible
• Explaining to the Partner why another kart in the shed is a good investment

Judging by these faces… the symptoms kicked in pretty quickly 😂

If you’re in NSW and want to check out the new Omega PK40, get in touch with Karting Direct. Nswskc

Great weekend at the Lucky 7 at Adelaide Dirt Kart Club.

Shannon Barry – 1st
Asher Barry – 2nd
Alan Reynolds – 2nd

Strong pace all weekend from Lyndon Calvert, Erin Forrestal and Brody Staker — just didn’t get the racing luck.

Don’t forget to get your nomination in for Blanchetown Dirt Kart Club this weekend 👍

Looks like I might finally jump in for a run…
Shannon got kids Footy so won’t be there, so I’ve decided to steal his kart for the weekend. 😅

Love this.

History of karting all in one — different eras, different speeds, same feeling.

Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz Jr. back in karts at Todd Road Karting Circuit

Pretty cool seeing two F1 drivers still loving where it all started for them.

Some interesting surprises in kart speed too over the decades

Proposal Submission – Future Direction of Dirt Karting of Australia (DKA)

With ongoing pressure from rising fuel costs, we believe it’s time to open discussion around the long-term future of dirt karting in Australia.

Omega Race Karts will be putting forward a proposal to Dirt Kart of Australia to explore alternative classes aimed at reducing costs and improving accessibility.

The proposal will focus on:

Introduction of an Electric Kart Development Class

– Reduced running costs
– Instant torque delivery
– Significantly reduced noise (ideal for early morning starts)
– Proposed small increase of 5% across all competitor licence/ nomination fees to support on-site diesel generators used for rapid charging between races. Initial projections indicate approximately 10 generators will be required per meeting

Introduction of a 4-Stroke Cost-Control Class

– Lower maintenance
– Simplified setup
– We understand purists are not a fan of the sound of 4-strokes, so an optional muffler whistle kit has been tested and will be available to enhance engine excitement and driver engagement.

Consideration of controlled components and parity measures

– Reduced cost of competition
– Ensuring greater consistency across the field

Exploration of noise reduction strategies

– Supporting long-term viability of tracks
– Allowing clearer communication between drivers and pit crews

We believe these discussions are necessary to ensure the continued growth of the sport.

Several key industry figures have already expressed support for these directions, and initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
