Karting Time - Game Over

NEW STATE OF THE ART ELECTRIC KARTS!

Game Over is home to the Grand Prix Indoor karting track; it’s the first of its kind in Australia.

At Game Over we pride ourselves on being huge fans of the electric go kart! Our electric go karts have several clear advantages over its gas-powered rivals, including a low environmental impact, absence of exhaust fumes, and superior performance. With a 20hp DC electric motor that produces far more torque than other kart engines, our electric karts have superb acceleration out of tight corners; while a gas engine can get bogged down, our electric motors are capable of delivering maximum torque instantaneously. And unlike a gas-powered kart, an electric go kart can be programmed to a variety of pre-set speeds to accommodate guests of varying skill levels, including beginner, intermediate and advanced.

With 22 Adult and 12 Junior go karts there is plenty of fun to be had for the whole family.

The Club will be hosting a Karting day out at Game Over Gold Coast on the 27th August.

We will be completing 3 Session which is $99. There will be a group that will be running in the Shifter Karts, but they are extra :)

Do you have a race car or a shiny car you'd like to show off? Club member Nev Scott's Daughter needs your help! Would anyone be available on the 3rd of September to be in the East Brisbane State School car show? The show starts from 9 (but we will meet up earlier to ensure we are all together) and finishes around 3. We will also be asking some of the 86 shop boys to join us too.

This is for a good cause, the P&C are trying to raise money to restock the library with current material and also provide some computers. Sadly funding for the school is slightly limited, so we should do what we can to help out.

If are you are interested, please put your name down in the forum.

More details on meeting points and car positions later on.
