About Grenfell Kart Club
Founded in 1967, Grenfell Kart Club holds a remarkable distinction: it operates the longest continually licensed kart track in Australia. The Bogolong Circuit — a 670-metre clockwise bitumen loop about 10 km west of Grenfell in the NSW Central West — combines flowing fast sections with tighter technical corners to keep drivers of all experience levels fully engaged across a race day. The club recently completed a major upgrade funded by an $842,339 NSW government grant, including full track resurfacing, a 160-metre extension and a new start/finish straight that has raised the circuit's capacity and safety to a new level. With trackside camping, a canteen serving breakfast, and a genuinely welcoming volunteer crew, Grenfell is the kind of club that draws visitors from well beyond the region — and keeps them coming back.
