[glow=red,2,300]The History Of The Adelaide Dirt Kart Club inc[/glow]
The Adelaide Dirt Kart Club inc, first started out back in 1980 under the name of Noarlunga Kart Club.
In early 1985 a local motor sporting club invited the club to use their track facilities at Lonsdale, South of Adelaide.
Interest soon grew and the local council allocated a site on the old Lonsdale dump site.
Construction of a track at Lonsdale began in 1985.
Due to the rapid development of the Hallet Cove residential sites in 1986, the council asked the club to relocate.
In march 1986 the club secured a new site at the Speed Kart complex, (later kart mania) located on waterloo corner road Burton.
September 1987 brought a club name change. Now to be known as the Adelaide Dirt Kart Club inc.
18 years later in 2004 the track site changed ownership and the leasing arrangements changed and with the site needing to be redeveloped the ADKC needed to find a new home.
October 2004 brought a club decision to accept an offer to once again relocate, this time an exciting location was found right in the heart of Motorsport territory.
Speedway City, Virginia South Australia, is now the home of the Adelaide Dirt Kart Club inc located between Speedway City, and Adelaide International Raceway.
2006 is an exciting time for the Adelaide Dirt Kart Club inc, as the club looks to reestablish itself as the premier dirt kart club in Australia.
