WKC last had a club day in July but the state government's stage three coronavirus restrictions meant no competition for six weeks.

With the introduction of last week's step three restrictions outdoor, non-contact sport is allowed.

Vice-president Jason Cook explained the club was allowed to host one club day a month and it could be any day.

He said there were still plenty of restrictions to follow including no spectators.

"At the moment it's a little bit tricky, we're limited to 10 on the track at one time with the new guidelines," he said.

"We're changing our race format to accommodate everyone."

A club day consists of three heats and a final for each class. Cook explained the club could have multiple groups of 10 at the track at one time but only one group racing.

He said if 20 people showed up for one class the club would split the class into two groups of 10, with the fastest in the first group.

The club is going to participate in an inter-club challenge in the next two months.

Cook said there would be meets which involve WKC, South West Kart Club, Ballarat Kart Club and Wimmera Kart Racing Club.

South West Kart Club in Cobden will host the first meet on October 4.

Cook said WKC was limited to 10 people at the track during stage three coronavirus restrictions.

"What we did was hold two shorter sessions on a day," he said.

Cook believes the ability to hold practice, unlike some other sports this year, has helped the club gain members.

"As a club we're going quite well, we've picked up 16 new members in the past six months," he said.

"With all these practice sessions, it's given new members a chance to learn."

Cook said experienced drivers weren't karting as much with it expensive to run engines and replace tyres.

"Some people are saving those engines for when races come back," he said.

Cook said the club had about 100 general members with about 50 drivers.
