- We do not recommend wearing your fancy clothes. Our track is 100% OUTSIDE and Go karts have many mechanical parts that are oiled & greased as part of regular servicing. While we do our absolute best to eliminate this happening, the occasional drop of oil, cloud of dust or rubber from track could soil clothing. We have full overalls available if required. Bay Karts is not liable for soiled clothing.
- Kart speed may be lowered for inexperienced drivers or wet weather conditions.

COVID-19 POLICY
With the uncertainty of COVID-19 we are remaining flexible for any unforeseen COVID-related circumstances.
Bay Karts have implemented a new process to stay open in ALL colours. To make sure no one misses out on karting we have a few changes.
All casual sessions, including online bookings, will require vaccine certificates for racers and spectators to be shown upon arrival.
All group bookings, such as race packages, Bathurst, Grand Prix and exclusive track hire, do no require vaccine certificates to be shown.
If you do not wish to show a vaccine certificate for casual sessions, we can still manually make a booking for you - just contact our office directly on 07 574 3709 or race@baykarts.co.nz and we can manually make a booking.
At this stage we have not come up with a work around for "arrive & drive" (walk-ins without a booking) that doesn't include the vaccine certificate.
Please be patient with us as we navigate these changes and understand that we do not want any one to be excluded from Bay Karts.
