WARREN MITCHELL 🏁

The Barossa Go Kart Club is deeply saddened by the passing of Warren Mitchell, a true gentleman and a much-loved member of the South Australian karting community.

Warren dedicated countless years to our sport, from being a driver, to eventually officiating at most SA events. Giving his time, knowledge and experience to help karting continue to grow and thrive. Warren was always there — working tirelessly behind the scenes and doing whatever was needed to help make an event a success.

Those who knew Warren will remember not only the work he did, but the person he was — dependable, generous with his time and always willing to lend a hand.

His contribution to South Australian karting has been enormous, and his absence will be felt around our tracks for many years to come.

From all of us at the Barossa Go Kart Club, condolences go to Warren’s family, friends and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rest peacefully, Warren.
Thank you for everything you gave to our sport.
You will be sadly missed and never forgotten. 🖤🏁

After a great weekend of karting at the Barossa Go Kart Club, our volunteers were back at the track on Sunday cleaning up and getting everything back in order.

Unfortunately, while doing so, we found that some people had decided that rather than taking their rubbish home with them, they would simply leave it at the track for the Club to dispose of.

We need to be really clear — this is NOT okay.

Our club volunteers already donate a huge amount of their own time to make sure events run smoothly, the facilities are maintained and so that everyone can enjoy their time at the track. Having to spend additional time cleaning up rubbish that individuals could quite easily have taken home themselves is extremely disappointing.

What makes this particular situation even more disappointing is that some of the rubbish found in the photos actually contained Club Member name and address details. So, unfortunately, we know that at least some of this rubbish can be linked back to members of our own Club.

We understand that bins can fill up during a busy weekend, and if that happens, please speak to someone at the Club rather than simply leaving rubbish behind.

Please take your rubbish home with you or dispose of it appropriately. The Club and its volunteers are here to support our members and visitors — we shouldn't be left cleaning up after them.

We love seeing everyone enjoying the track, and we appreciate the incredible support we receive from our members and visitors. We simply ask that everyone does their part to leave the venue as they found it — or better.

Thanks to all those who already do the right thing. 👍

❤️🏁 WHAT A WEEKEND AT BAROSSA! 🏁❤️

What an absolutely amazing weekend we had at the Barossa Go Kart Club for Winter Sprint Club Round 3 / Tri-State Series Final / Sprocket Rocket Cup Round 6!

From start to finish, the track was filled with great racing, plenty of laughs, friendly faces and an incredible family atmosphere. There was something for everyone, with hours of entertainment both on and off the track.

But weekends like this don’t just happen — they are made possible by an incredible group of people, and we want to take a moment to say a very genuine THANK YOU. ❤️

👏 To all of our officials and volunteers — thank you for giving up your time, working behind the scenes, and doing everything you could to keep the event running smoothly and safely. Your dedication and commitment is what makes it possible for everyone else to enjoy their weekend and get out there and race. We truly appreciate every minute you put in.

🏎️ To all of our competitors, pit crews and families — thank you for coming along, supporting the Club and helping create such a fantastic atmosphere. Whether you were racing, wrenching, cheering from the fence or simply enjoying the weekend with your karting family, you all played a huge part in making the event what it was.

✈️ To all of our interstate competitors — thank you for making the trip to Barossa. We know the kilometres, time and effort involved in travelling to race with us, and it means so much that you chose to spend your weekend here. Your support and sportsmanship are genuinely appreciated.

🏆 TRI-STATE SERIES

And what a way to finish the Tri-State Series!

A huge thank you to our friends at Broken Hill Kart Club Inc and Mildura Kart Club for the first year of what is a fantastic series.

Congratulations to Mildura for winning the Tri-State shield in 2026. Watch out Broken Hill and Barossa are coming for it in 2027!

Thank you for the racing, the competition, the laughs, the friendships and all the memories along the way. This series is about so much more than what happens on the track — it’s about bringing clubs, competitors and families together and creating something special.

We honestly believe the Tri-State Series is the best series in Australian Karting 😜 and we couldn’t be prouder to be part of it. ❤️

This is only the beginning. We truly believe it is going to get bigger, better and stronger every year, and we can’t wait to see where it goes next!

From everyone at the Barossa Go Kart Club — thank you.

Thank you for racing with us.
Thank you for supporting us.
Thank you for volunteering.
Thank you for travelling.
Thank you for the friendships.
And thank you for making this weekend one to remember.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who played a part. ❤️🏁

Until next time — keep the wheels turning!
