Karting For Heroes is based on an annual event run by HYDRAQUIP in support of local charities in the South East called CHUNDER in the Park, which was started in 2001 and has raised in excess of £40,000 for numerous worthy causes.

Karting for Heroes?
Whether or not you support or agree with the politics behind recent conflicts it is impossible to get away from the fact that there are thousands of men and women who are willing to put the defence of you, I and our country before their own safety. Unfortunately the support that is available should they suffer any injuries in service appears to be somewhat underfunded and that is where Help for Heroes has made a big impact.
What is Help for Heroes?
The message of the charity is simple: We are strictly non political and non critical; we simply want to help. We believe that anyone who volunteers to serve in time of war, knowing that they may risk all, is a hero. These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life. We may not be able to prevent our soldiers from being wounded, but together we can help them get better.
Who pays for the event?
Karting for Heroes, the event and website are organised and operated by HYDRAQUIP. The event is held by a holding deposit paid by HYDRAQUIP and who pay the total due based on the number of teams entered. The balance from all the entry fees is then paid over to Help for Heroes. HYDRAQUIP do not charge for any administration or organisation of the event.
What to expect
Fun, chaos, more fun and 3 hours of adrenalin pumping competition.
