ORIENTATION WEEKEND

ITS TIME TO KICK OFF 2026!

Join us for our Orientation Weekend at OVKA and G&J Kartway, with our Driving School on March 21 and Karting 101 on March 22!

DRIVING SCHOOL - New racers will spend some time with our seasoned veterans learning how to drive G&J Kartway. After lunch, Racers will be invited to have their karts inspected for safety and then take to the track for class practice sessions to gain speed and familiarity.

KARTING 101 - racers new & old are welcome to attend, where we will go through club policies and procedures, before taking to the track for a non-points, mock race day to get you used to the OVKA Race Day processs.
