Welcome to the official

Brisbane Billycart Championships

Brisbane’s biggest billycart championships are held on a grass track and kids of all ages (including adults) from all over Brisbane are invited to make and race their own billycart.

Admission is Free!

The championships will be held on Sunday 18th August 2013 again at the Carindale Recreation Reserve, Cadogan Street, Carindale. See our Location page for a map.

An important change to the race programme for 2011 was the use of separate categories in each age group for ‘Traditional Backyard’ or ‘Modified’ or ‘Novelty’ designs. Please indicate on the registration form the category you are entering. Eligibility will be solely at the discretion of the Scrutineer or Race Marshall.

Traditional Backyard Billycart Design

Modified Billycart Design
ALL other designs – MUST have four wheels. Mechanical steering or wheels greater than 250 mm diameter
