Wombwell Karting Club Rules
Our Club rules are there to ensure the safety and comfort of our club members and to ensure that Wombwell Karting is a safe and welcoming environment for all. It’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure the rules are respected — SEE IT, SAY IT, SORT IT.
We aim to work in an atmosphere of mutual respect with competitors, their guests, teams, and mechanics. Anyone who purposely ignores the rules may be excluded from the meeting and asked to leave the circuit. In extreme cases, we reserve the right to withdraw membership or withhold admission to the circuit on race days.
