Preston Hall Racing

21/10/2026

Ok we’re back, we need to catch everyone up on where we have been and how out last few races went.
Following our WA dirt kart title we headed to Geraldton for the Bitumen state title at the Midwest Kart Club we had an ok outing finishing 6th overall for the weekend. Having switched our focus back to dirt We just lacked the last couple of tenths to be in contention so we were content with the result.

After Geraldton we had to be in SA on the Thursday for the Australian Dirt Kart Titles at Loxton Kart Club so after racing on the Sunday we travelled back down to Perth a lazy 5 hrs decided we hadn’t driven enough so we picked up Grace and Ivy swapped out karts and drove another 4 hrs out to southern cross, camped over night then drove another 16hrs the following day and camped at the Nullarbor rd house woke up and drove another 13hrs to arrive at Loxton, straight to the car wash! 😂

Our main goal for the weekend was to make the final on Sunday as Jr Lights had 39 entries and only the top 20 make the final, despite having a good draw we just didn’t pass enough karts throughout the heat races and didn’t convert our front row start, although we did have some strong finishes we only had 6 lap heats on a 360m track so it was hard to get much done, throw in some poor decision making by me with chassis set up and engine tuning we ended up qualifying 13th for Sunday, after the 8 lap final we finishing 12th, again very few laps (8) it was hard to get much done definitely think the amount of laps for an Australian title on a short track should be more.
Results
Heat 1 - P9-P5
Heat 2 - P11-P10
Heat 3 - P1-P4
Heat 4 - P19-P13
Final - P13 -P12

On day 1 Preston had a nervous start to the Wa dirt kart title giving up the lead in heat 1 and struggling to get the job done in heat 2 finishing 4th
Day 2 he was back but unfortunately he got binned in heat 3 and suffered a DNF heat 4 he finished strongly in 1st position then a 3rd to finish out the day
Day 3 with only 1 race remaining he finished 2nd behind the current Australian champ.
So after all of that we managed to finish 4th overall, plenty of could have should have would have but we were proud he bounced back after what happened.

Appreciate all of the msgs supporting Preston and a big thanks to the unwavering support of our sponsors

While we have been quiet on FB we have still been racing, we made a return to the black top a couple of weekends ago, we had been out of that kart for around 2 months and it showed. We had the club day on the 9th on a layout and direction we had not ran beforehand it took a couple of sessions to get back into it and used to the track. We missed out on the podium due to equal points then going to a count back to qualifying, so 4th overall it was not to bad for so long out and no practice. Last weekend we were in Geraldton for the first time for the state round and the rustiness followed us there as well, we didn’t get to post a lap time in quali due to binning it on the opening lap it was all up hill or should I say “up in the air” from there Preston battled back from 19th to 11th in heat 1 and I think 11th to 7th in heat 2 then contact from behind in the Saturday final seen the biggest incident we have been involved in and was right in front of me on the track. He managed to get the kart going and made his way back through the field from last to 8tb with a bent kart and busted rim, Sunday wasn’t much better result wise. We’ll be back on the dirt tomorrow for our last outing till states.

Tough day at the office yesterday, an issue with our entry had us starting off the back row all day, a mistake and a racing incident in front had us with 2 DNF’s from 2 starts! Then the show started.
Can’t wait to hit the road to Wagin this weekend.

🏁 South Australia Double Header Recap 🏁

We flew from Perth to Adelaide to take on two race meetings, and what a trip it turned out to be.

Our first stop was the Legends of Morgan race at the Morgan Dirt Kart Club, where we battled against a quality field and came away with 4th Overall. A great way to kick off the weekend with plenty of tough racing and valuable experience.

From there, we hit the road and headed to Strathalbyn for the Angas Dirt Kart Club race day. We were thrilled to finish 🥇 1st Overall!

A massive thank you to Brad from Riverland Rent A Kart for all your help.

Preston made heaps of new friends, enjoyed some awesome racing, and can’t wait to catch up with everyone again.

We’ll definitely be back in South Australia for the Australian Titles, and we’re already counting down the days!
