Where it all began
In June 2025 Kelly and Kurt received a message from their youngest son Ryan shortly followed by one from their eldest son Olly that the local 1/12th oval carpet RC racing club (Downsouth RC) they were currently racing at had been put up for sale. This was followed by discussions that same evening at dinner with suggestions that we purchase the track so the boys still had a local club to race at. At first we immediately dismissed the idea but shortly after we were questioning ourselves if we could commit our time and make it commercially viable around our busy lives. 5 Days later we found ourselves meeting the Downsouth owners and shortly after a deal was done!
What followed
Oh sugar,honey,ice,tea we brought a racetrack! What have we done? Once the dust had settled and the realisation of the situation we had put ourselves in we made the decision to start afresh with only the venue and track remaining. We got busy roping in help to setup and get our first meeting organised. What came after is what you see today, a slow growing, welcoming, family run Oval RC club. Its not all gone to plan and we have had to navigate a few hiccup’s along the way.
Where we are today
Whilst we have run only a small amount of meetings at KnK we are committed to is long term future and success, we will continue to improve the circuit, keep the idea’s fresh and exciting as well as continuing to visit and collaborate with other clubs.
