The Hamilton Regional Kart Club wrapped up the 2025 season in true HRKC fashion—with a banquet that was every bit as fun, memorable, and community-driven as the racing itself. As always, the banquet was a fantastic opportunity for our racers, families, and friends to come together one last time before the off-season begins.

And let’s be honest… is anyone else guilty of not recognizing drivers when they’re not wearing race suits and helmets? It’s amazing what a little formalwear can do! But seeing everyone dressed up and relaxed made the night even more special.

More than anything, the banquet was a celebration of the season as a whole. A chance to share a great meal, laugh with good friends, and recognize the incredible achievements that unfolded across the 2025 season. With 18 races for our Briggs categories and 12 races on the Rotax calendar, earning a championship position is no easy feat—yet our HRKC drivers rose to the challenge in every class.

Lastly… A Huge Thank You for Supporting Our Annual Toy Drive

A heartwarming tradition was continued as we kicked off our annual Toy Drive at the Banquet.

The generosity on display was nothing short of incredible. Our members showed up with armfuls of toys, big smiles, and even bigger hearts. Seeing the donations overflowing was a powerful reminder that the HRKC community extends far beyond the racetrack.

Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped brighten the holiday season for families in need. Your kindness makes a real difference.
