We will be doing the Buddy Drive at the end of racing Saturday, so please encourage your friends and family who may be interested to come out and give it a try! We have had success with hooking people in through this opportunity, with just a 15 minute drive in a kart! Help us grow the sport!

The gates will be open Thursday night until 10PM and reopen again Friday morning at 6:30AM. For those arriving after hours, there will be 24 hour security that will be able to open the gates for late arrivals.
