Featuring a race-tuned chassis, hydraulic brakes, and adjustable seats and pedals, each kart is designed for comfort, control, and speed. Surrounded by a high-tech plastic bumper system for added safety, our RT8s run on saka moto tyres for maximum grip and are equipped with Racefacer lap timing and safety control to track your performance and keep racing conditions safe. For ages 12 and up, and under 120kg, this is as close as it gets to real motorsport—no licence required. FUN KARTS SODI LR4 FOR ALL AGES - SAFE, FAST & FAMILY FRIENDLY Our Kids’ Karts are perfect for young racers aged 7 years and up, offering a safe but exciting ride. Powered by Honda 160cc engines and governed to a top speed of 25km/h, they’re ideal for building confidence while still delivering a real sense of speed. With a maximum driver weight of 100kg, they’re suited for most kids and younger teens. Adults can join in the fun too with our Adult Fun Karts—slightly larger, just as fun, and built so the whole family can race together, and for those who aren’t quite ready for the Pro Karts. These karts also use Racefacer lap timing and race safety kart control, so everyone gets the thrill of racing while staying safe on track. Maximum driver weight: 120kg. Perfect for families, birthdays, and first-time racers—nobody misses out on the action at Pro Karts. TWO SEATER SODI GT2-RK4 SHARE THE THRILL Perfect for younger kids or those not quite ready to drive on their own, our Two Seater Karts let you share the excitement of karting with your child. These karts are powered by Honda 200cc engines, governed to a safe top speed of 25km/h, and fitted with the same Racefacer lap timing and race safety kart control used across our fleet. The driver must be an adult 18 years or older, with a maximum weight of 120kg. Passengers must be at least 3 years old, and generally up to around 8 years old, depending on their size, as the passenger cockpit is compact. It’s a fun, safe way to introduce young kids to the world of racing—without missing out on the action. A great option for families wanting to race together and create lasting memories on the track.

We value every comment, compliment, and suggestion, and we’re always working to improve our Pro Karts and Nelson Fun Park experience. Tell Us About Your Experience HAVE A CONCERN OR COMPLAINT? WE APPREIATE YOUR BUSINESS ALLIANCE GROUP Hi Nick, just wanted to say again thanks for the great day, everyone's still raving about it. Cheers Peter Ward (Personnel Manager) Alliance Group LTD. Nelson (Bathurst) NELSON MAIL We have been to Pro Karts twice now for our work functions, each time it has been such a good way to bond or 'get one over' your work mates. Everyone that raced found it extremely exciting, it brought out the competitive streak in everyone, even the quietest people in the office. Nick and the team were very accomidating and the whole race was professionally organised and safe. I would suggest this for any workplace to truly get to know each other. regards Justine (Nelson Mail Social Club President) (Bathurst 200) PRIVATE FUNCTION Hi, that was an awesome experience, I have been to a lot of different functions/events around the country over the years, not only was your event a lot of fun but it was the most professionally run one I have ever attended. Thanks Guys Mark Johnstone, AUCKLAND (Bathurst) BARTERCARD NELSON Hi Nick Thank you so much for your hospitality and organisation for the first annual Bartercard Ford v Holden Bathurst race. It was thoroughly enjoyed by clients and staff alike. I would recommend that any business who are planning a team building or perhaps corporate client function get in touch with you to custom make an event to suit the companies requirements. We look forward, as do our clients, to next years race where I am sure that Ford will be victorious! Kind regards, Rachel (Bathurst with catering) CAN PLAN STAFF FUNCTION It was with much excitement and expectation that the staff and partners at Can Plan met at the Pro Karts Track in December to begin our Christmas Work Function. There had been a lot of BIG TALK back and forwards in the staffroom and on the RT about who was going to be Champion for the day. It was no surprise when a couple of the staff members initially emerged as the ones to beat. Issie was at the top of the leader board going into the final with the best place on the grid, and all through the laps he looked like he had it in the bag… until (Murphy’s law) the last lap it went all wrong (he says he was pushed)… Mike’s Partner, Charmaine breezed past, followed by Ben, then the boss himself. We are very pleased to say that Issie went on to enjoy Scotty’s Gourmet BBQ at Plan B (which was superb, with a relaxing atmosphere and great cocktail menu - cheers Steve) with only a few quiet conversations about how the racing will be different next year! (NZGP event) RADCLIFFE ELECTRICAL We have been to Pro Karts a number of times over the last months, to organised events and also to have some fun just doing laps with mates. All the organised events from the Grand Prix sprint races to the Bathurst endurance events are all very well run. Everyone comes away with a smile and can’t wait for the next track session. We have found it a great way to earn a few brownie points with customers and staff alike, just bloody great fun. A great place to sort out the men from the boys when it comes to driver ability, would highly recommend anyone to give it a go, we will be back there again in the near future. Thanks Nick, well done. Regards Vaughan Radcliffe Electrical, Richmond (NZGP & Bathurst) JAE SERVICES “We have used ProKarts grand prix style racing as a mid winter “pick-me-up” event for our staff for 3 years running now. Nicks team are professional, really making sure you all have a good time and play along the formula one role with lap times, grid starts and podium finish. This year the winners got bottles of bubbly which was a great bonus too. Nick gives out a trophy which is carried with high regard by the winning staff member as bragging rights until the following year! Highly recommended for businesses looking for something a bit different from the usual after works drinks and to create a bit of zing amongst the team that lasts well after the final lap. Good work Nick and co!” Cheers Andrew Smith JAE Services, Tahunanui (NZGP event)

Pro Karts and Nelson Fun Park proudly support local schools, charities, and families in need by giving experiences, vouchers, and free activity days to our community. SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY! We proudly support local schools, charities, and families in need with experiences, vouchers, and community initiatives all year round. PROUDLY GIVING BACK ACROSS NELSON AND TASMAN. CONTACT OUR HELPFUL TEAM Giving Back to Our Community At Pro Karts and Nelson Fun Park, giving back is a core part of who we are. Our business has always been about people, memories, and supporting the community that supports us. Since day one, we have believed that the best way to make a difference is by opening our doors and sharing our activities with those who need them most. We proudly offer discounted visits to all local schools and work closely with a wide range of charities and community groups, including the Lions Foundation, the Salvation Army, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Tahuna Community Hub, and many others. Every year we donate a large number of vouchers to help families who are struggling, especially around Christmas. We also provide many smaller donations throughout the year. From raffle prizes for fundraisers to support for school events, sports teams, individuals facing sickness or hardship, and a variety of community causes, we always aim to help wherever we can. We are also proud of our ongoing partnerships in the community. We support Waimea College through their attendance recognition programme, offering rewards and encouragement for students with high attendance records. This year, we are going a step further by opening the Fun Park for a few hours on Christmas Day exclusively for selected families in need. Our goal is to create positive memories for children and parents who deserve a special moment during a challenging time. We give back in the strongest way we can. Many businesses give money, which only goes so far. We prefer to give in kind by offering experiences, vouchers, activities, and entire days for free. Recently we hosted Big Brother Big Sister for what was planned to be a two hour visit, but the group enjoyed themselves so much they stayed for three or four hours. That is the type of impact we aim for. If you are fundraising for a school, sports team, charity event, or trying to support a family or individual in need, we encourage you to reach out. We always do our best to help where we can.
