Club History & General Information

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.

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

role in assisting with Club events.
Races are made possible because of our many Sponsors.

more costly.
