For engine classes, the biggest class was the 4SS which is a four-stroke motor of 210cc with this class is very popular with 40 entrants.
This due to there being not a lot of maintenance, and it suits the people who still want to race but don’t want to be working on a high-performance engine all the time.

Senior Performance Light are high-performance 100cc air-cooled engines that are pretty high maintenance as they rev harder than any of the other engine classes:
1st Connor Richards.
2nd Hunter Hague.
3rd Nicholas Follows.
This class featured three members of the Richards family, who are all Dubbo Kart Club members and a real family affair with Dad Jeffery, son Connor, and daughter Chloe, all racing in this senior performance class.
“In her class, Chloe finished third, while Jeffery finished sixth,” Club spokesperson, Frank Cross said.
“A lot of times when they race, they are all nose-to-tail, filling the first three places, and we cannot forget Mum, Katrina who does a great job waving the flags on the start finish line,” Frank added.
All racers rate Dubbo Track as one of the best tracks in Australia, as it is of international length and is very technical, Frank said.
“The event was a huge success with a lot of families coming together to race, they came from all over the State,
“A lot of them camped at the track, while others booked rooms in town, being a long week end some of them stayed, till Monday to visit the Zoo and other attractions around town,” he concluded.
