CDKC Entries will be accepted on KNSW Entry Portal until the Wednesday night preceding a race meeting.

You must have a KNSW Licence to enter our events. If you do not have one, an “event licence” is available and valid for the event and 1 practice day. Your licence can generally be completed on line via the KNSW website.

- Reading the event Supplementary Regulations and the KNSW rule book is strongly recommended.
A compatible transponder must be fitted to all karts for racing and the practice day preceding a race meeting (if you are entered to race). The club has a limited number of transponders available for hire @$30.00 per race meeting (please make sure your kart has the correct transponder mounting bracket to avoid any damage to the transponder). If you intend to hire a club transponder, please add the “Transponder Hire Product” when entering the race meeting on-line. A number will be allocated to you, your transponder will be available for pick up at the track.
Scrutineer form completion is now a part of the entry process. For “Club Day” race meeting we do not require Tyre barcodes, chassis numbers or engine numbers unless notified. You are very welcome to have the Scrutineer check your kart for any items you are unsure of.
If you are a D grade licence holder your kart will need to be scrutineered physically by the race meeting scrutineer before the start of racing. Generally, this can be done from 3.00pm on the Saturday prior to racing or Sunday morning from 7.00am, we strongly suggest you get this done Saturday if possible.
Your race numbers need to comply with the KNSW rule book.
- Correct colored number, background, size and style for your class.
- Maximum of 2 digits from 2 to 99 (1 is reserved for KNSW allocation)
- Once a number is entered with for a class, other competitors in that class cannot use that number. If classes are combined and there is a number clash, the later entry will be requested to change their number.
Most race meetings are Sunday only events. Practice is available the prior to the meeting, a separate “Practice Sign On” is re required for any practice day at Lithgow. Practice runs from 9.00am to 4.00pm and will be split into the relevant age/licence groups. Depending on numbers may be split further. The Safety Light system is in use on Saturday practice of race weekend’s, and practice is controlled from the timing box. If you receive a flag that requires you to see an official, you must go to the “Timing Box”.
We use the Race America Safety Light system in place of most flags at 4 points around the track and a larger light board at the finish line for other official flag signals, please make yourself aware of the Safety Light locations and familiar with the meaning of each. Please come and ask for a demonstration of the lights if unsure.
