Welcome to the Waterloo Regional Kart Club

 

 

 

The Mission of the WRKC is to promote the exciting

 

sport of 4-cycle Kart Racing for the entire family in

 

a safe and fun environment. Through sponsorships and

 

our dedicated team of volunteers we strive to offer

 

our members an affordable " Thrill of a Lifetime ". 

 

 

Club  History

 

 

 

The Waterloo Regional Kart Club (WRKC) was founded

 

in 1981 by Rob Good, Andre and Ron Demerchant. The

 

WRKC is a grassroots division of karting sustained by

 

a hard working Executive team and many volunteers

 

from within the club and the community.

 

 

 The first year the Club organized 5 races at

 

Bingemans Park. In 1983 the Club moved to Erbsville

 

Kartway in Waterloo. Returning to Bingemans in 1991

 

the Club continued to grow significantly, obtaining

 

renowned status as one of Ontario’s largest and most

 

competitive kart clubs.

 

 

 

In the fall of 2007 a dream was realized. With the

 

support of it’s past and present members and hundreds

 

of individual and commercial contributors, the Club

 

began building its own race track located at

 

Flamboro Speeedway. The future and a “home track” are

 

now secured with a long term contract.

 

 

 

The Club races most Saturdays from mid April to

 

Thanksgiving weekend in October. Over the years,

 

the WRKC has raced at numerous different tracks for

 

the points series including; Deleware, Flamboro,

 

Sauble, Varney, Barrie, Bingeman, Simcoe,

 

Shannonville and Erbsville.

 

 

 

In cooperation with the Simcoe Kart Club, the WRKC is

 

a co-sponsor, organizer and active participant of the

 

Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship Series.

 

The BSRKC is the largest kart racing series in Canada

 

where drivers of all ages get a chance to race

 

against the "best of the best". It also gives our

 

members a chance to race at a number of exciting

 

racing venues located across Ontario. Visit the BSRKC

 

web site @ www.bsrkc.com for all the information and

 

a complete schedule.

 

 

  

Yearly highlights include the annual trek to

 

Shannonville Motorsports Park where in 2009 496

 

registered racers participated over a three day event.

 

This BSRKC sponsored race is the largest karting event

 

held in Canada and a time honored tradition.

 

The WRKC is proud to be part of its history.

 

 

 

 

Another major highlight of our race season is our own

 

“Oktoberfest Grand Prix” where in 2009 completed its

 

28th annual running with over 140 registerd entries.

 

 

 

Racers are divided into 7 classes; Cadet (7 –9),

 

 Novice (8 – 11), Jr. Light (10 -13), Jr. Heavy (12 –

 

15), Sr.Lite (15+), Sr.Heavy (15+) and Masters (35+).

 

Each category is regulated with its own weight and

 

engine restrictions.

The Waterloo Regional Kart Club Board extends a hearty

 

welcome all competitors, their families and friends

 

to all our events. We trust your visit will be an

 

enjoyable and rewarding experience. We invite you

 

to become involved in "your" Club by taking an active

 

role in assisting with Club events.

 

 

Races are made possible because of our many Sponsors.

 

Please reward them by using their products or

 

services whenever possible. Without their generous

 

support, your race day fees would without a doubt be

 

more costly.
