Go Karts Go

The Hunter Valley track is the The Hunter region's biggest, fastest and most exciting 4-stroke go kart hire track with a massive 850m long track.

There's specially designed Junior Go Karts as well as twin seaters, so children from as young as 3 years old right up to 99 years of age can enjoy the fun.

"You've got to have fun in life and go karts are the vehicle," says Wayne Russell, owner.

Wayne purchases the 8.5hp Honda powered motors direct from Michael Schumacher's organisation in Germany.

"Our karts are all the latest models coming out of Europe," Wayne said. "If you're good enough they'll do 60kmh to 65kmh."

Unlike many kart tracks, Wayne doesn't install governers on his machines, so the speed you go is entirely up to the individual. As Wayne likes to say, you can always drive faster if you're good.

"But you've got to use your brakes to go fast," he added.

Go Karts Go has four tracks throughout the Hunter at Bob's Farm, Broadmeadow, Cameron Park, and the latest track opened at Kearsley.

"It's a big venture for us, it's one of the biggest tracks in the country," Wayne said. "Nelson Bay is 300m, Kearsley 850m.

"We have great faith in this adrenaline-based attraction. It has proven potential and we have plans to keep on expanding."

All Go Karts Go tracks have the latest timing systems from Europe, as used in FI.

"We try and avoid the racing side against each other, it's more about racing the clock and yourself," Wayne said.

"The lap time gives the individual an insight into how good they are."

Visitors can buy vouchers for certain amount of dollars which can be use at any track.

"You just can't not have fun. I've got the best job in the world - I get to sell fun and have fun all at the same time." To book visit: http://www.gokartsgo.com.au
