There are three main ones.
Kingston Park Raceway - www.gokarts.com.au
Archerfield Speed Karts - www.realgokarts.com.au
Willowbank Karts
Kingston Park is okay, it has a new track which is a lot more interesting than the original 4 corner hole. The karts are still the same old briggs and stratton 4 stroke slow mobiles. They take ages to accellerate and arent all that exciting to drive.
The Willowbank karts are situated right next to the drag strip and queensland raceway. They had 4 stroke karts but with more grunt than kingston park. The track itself is a professional use track where they hold comps. It is a massive track with plenty of corners, but it also has a lot of long straight line stuff. The straights arent all that fun as they seem to max out speed early on, but it would be awesome in a faster kart. You'd really want to go here if you had a massive group, otherwise you will never come across another racer due to the tracks size.
Archerfield Speed karts are the only ones that use the Yamaha KT100 2 stroke karts. The tracks are smaller than kingston and willowbank, but they are nice and twisty. You never end up sitting on a straight with the kart maxed out, it is always accellerating. They also have nice pickup out of the corners unlike the 4 strokes at kingston. Overall the racing is a lot more exciting.
After trying all three Archerfield was definately the better. The karts make the difference, they are no where near as sluggish as the others. If you had the 2 strokes out at willowbank then it would be a different story.
If you are organising a race day talk to the guys at archerfield, they are really great with helping you organise race packages. I ended up getting 1 practice session and three 12 minute races for my group, as well as getting them to organise a 1 lap qualifying shootout V8 supercar style. You even get tropheys for the top three.
