Saturday September 04      Go Karting

 

Racers... start your engines!  Peer Supporters get ready to watch the rubber fly as we prepare for another CWNN Go Kart Challenge.  We will take the scenic route out to Wilberforce getting revved up on the way and ready to hit the racetrack.  You can choose to take a turn on the track with one of your friends (in the exciting two man Go Karts) or just sit back and cheer the racers in the Karts from the stands. Either way this is a day not to miss.  After the petrol fumes and burning rubber smoke has dissipated, we will kick back next to the nearby river and enjoy a relaxing picnic and the country air.  Lets get it on…
