1985 Go Kart Racing in Balaklava

[@youngsat3186]

This was filmed a week before we were married and I don't even remember the Balaklava go-karts! I used to work at the Westpac Bank there on the corner! Things have certainly changed in 35 years!

$3500 worth of equipment from Edgars, but I was a 2 bit operator lol (Paul Moebus)

[@PaddyMcGintee]

WOW! I raced here in 88 or 89 as a kid? I think it was the last running of the event?

[@Zendukai]

Most probably, but I do remember kart racing in the main Street in Port Pirie too. Do you recognise anyone?

[@leesmartin]

@@Zendukai I never knew they raced here in Balaklava, though I did the Pt Pirie street race which may have been the last one there

[@Zendukai]

@@leesmartin I had only just bought this huge camera set up, the tapes that went in it were VHS omg, it was like lugging around a tonne lol. Still it captured lots of video and the tapes are still usable today. With my few homes I shifted I lost some videos, one was the Port Pirie go cart racing....BUGGER....

[@Zendukai]

I was going through my old pics and found some of the Port Pirie go kart racing, I'll try n make a short video of them later.
