As National Volunteer week draws to a close, we want to take the opportunity to thank not only the five wonderful Volunteers we have highlighted this week, but to thank every single one of them cross Australia that help keep the wheels turning for our sport. This week has shown that every Volunteer plays a vital part in every aspect of karting, from keeping us fed, our tracks looking pristine and entries accepted. Without them, it just would not be possible to go racing across the country. Don’t forget to thank the volunteers at your Club, show them some appreciation and if you don't already do so, maybe one day Volunteer some of your time to help out. If it wasn’t for Volunteers, there would be no race in which to compete and no sport for us to enjoy. @volunteeringaustralia

Jo is currently the Club President of the Midwest Kart Club in Western Australia. We thank Jo for everything she does for karting, but also for her club, without volunteers like you, there would be no race in which to compete and no sport for us to enjoy. @volunteeringaustralia
Tom Hall National Volunteers Week Tom is a racer who had turned his passion into giving back to the sport he loved after getting involved 15 years ago with his daughters. He’s spent time in the Tech Shed before moving on to become a Clerk of Course whilst also helping out as a Steward and when needed in the club canteen. Tom is proud to call the Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club home and works with a fantastic team, so for that we say thank you - Thank you Tom for being a part of our sport, because without volunteers like you, there would be no race in which to compete and no sport for us to enjoy. @volunteeringaustralia

Favourite Karting Memory – @zanegoddard Zane Goddard’s journey to becoming a professional racing car driver started after trying out a friend’s kart back in 2009. “I have so many great memories from my time in karts, we raced across Australia completing in the Australian Kart Championship and the @rotax_pro_tour , these memories are very special to me now,” said Goddard “Qualifying for the Rotax MAX Challenge world finals in 2014 was definitely my favourite karting memory, getting to race at the Kartódromo Internacional Lucus Guerrero Chiva in Valencia, Spain was unreal. It was also cool to be joined @brycefullwood and Jayden Ojeda and now we’re all in Supercars.” Since moving on from karting, Goddard has competed in Europe for 2007 Formula One World Champion Kimi Raikkonens’ @doublerracing team in the British Formula Ford Championship. He then joined @ardenmotorsport in Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup before returning home to Australia to pursue a Supercars championship career. Last year, he finished fourth in the @super2series with @mwmotorsport before making his debut in the @virginaustralia @supercarschampionship earlier this year. Throughout 2020, Goddard will share the @unit -backed #34 @mattstoneracing Commodore with long-time peer @jake.kostecki as part of their SuperLite program before coming together to contest the PIRTEK Endurance cup together later in the year.
