About Albany City Kart Club
Albany City Kart Club (ACKC) is the dedicated kart racing club for WA's Great Southern region, operating from a purpose-built circuit at 35831 Albany Highway in Drome — just north of Albany city. Affiliated with Karting WA, the club competes on a well-maintained 935-metre circuit that races anti-clockwise and can accommodate up to 36 karts on the grid. The club is open to drivers aged 7 and up, male or female, with a stated mission of making karting accessible to anyone who wants to race. A club competition calendar runs from January to November, covering multiple classes that align with Karting WA's state series structure. ACKC also participates in the Southern Sprint and WA Karting Series, bringing state-level competition to Albany. Reviews consistently praise the quality of the facilities, the welcoming community, and the level of organisation — with more than one visitor reporting they signed up for membership on the spot.
