A group of twenty very nervous teenagers from the Father Ray Children’s Home recently arrived at the EasyKart race course, which is located next to the overpass on Third Road near the Bali Hai Pier, for an afternoon of go-kart racing. 

Hosted by the friendly team from EasyKart, the teenagers were given safety instructions before watching other drivers race around the track at very high speeds.

An excited, but nervous bunch of teenagers at EasyKart.An excited, but nervous bunch of teenagers at EasyKart.

For a usually confident group of young people they watched in worried silence, but all worries, doubts and fears disappeared as they climbed into their vehicles, fastened their helmets, started their engines and made their way to the track.

They raced as fast as they could, overtaking friends, spinning out of control and bumping into the boundaries, and all with huge smiles on their faces.  Much to the annoyance of the boys, it turned out that several female drivers lapped them, not once, but twice.

All ready to go.All ready to go.

The EasyKart course has two race tracks, 800m and 350m in length, there is also a viewing stand.  The staff are experienced and friendly and there are a variety of vehicles to choose from, depending on the racers age and experience.
