Kartatak Raceway Tuggerah advertorial School holiday adrenaline Pumping Fun at Kartatak Raceway Tuggerah Kartatak Raceway Tuggerah is the ideal location for your family’s entertainment as it is Australia’s only all-weather indoor drift karting arena, specifically designed to safely get the adrenaline pumping. Whether any of your family are novelist or have experienced kart driving, the kart drifting experience is second to none. It is not all about who is the quickest around the track, instead, once a little confidence in the kart’s operation is gained, all drivers quickly are working towards sliding the karts around the corners and eventually around the whole track. Spectators find the action thrilling and as the driver’s confidence levels rise so does their ability to conquer the drifting challenge. Everyone driving achieves a level of accomplishment and afterwards always talk about their experience with others. Children aged from 4 to 7 years with a minimum height of 110cm are able to accompany an adult driving either one of the Kartatak tandem or side-by-side double karts. At age 8–11 the children are able to drive on their own one of the Kartatak junior karts (all children aged 4 to 11 years wear a Kartatak compulsory safety accredited driver’s neck brace). Aged 12 and upwards all drivers can experience driving the Kartatak full drift karts. There are great special family group booking packages available 7 days a week and always discounted drives packages on weekdays including school and public holidays. Children’s birthday parties are a regular event at Kartatak, requiring a minimum of 6 drivers per party group booking, with options of 2 x 10 min drives or 3 x 10 min drives. Packages include bowls of crisp chips, Cheezels,
