Event Description:


Come out and warm up for what should be an awesome auto-x and track season with some karting at Oakland Valley Race Park (OVRP). This will be an “arrive and drive” event, drivers will not be required to purchase any gear. People are encouraged to use their own gear if they have a helmet, gloves, suits, ect. The track will provide any gear needed at no extra charge. OVRP is approximately an hour and half from the Throgsneck Bridge.

This is a “real” go-kart track with elevation, increasing and decreasing radius turns. Lots of curbing to help, or hurt, depending on how much you use. Outdoor karting is very different from indoor karting and in many ways it is more challenging. The karts do close to 45 MPH and the event will be formatted to accommodate drives of all skill levels from veteran racers to novices who have never driven a go-kart. 

Each driver will have a short practice stint (about 10 minutes) and then will be placed on a team they will race with during the endurance race. Teams will be formed at the track via drawing names from a hat. Each driver will have 3 or 4 driving stints totaling 1 hour of seat time per driver- in addition to the short practice session prior to the race. 

Please note that there will be no refund for cancellations after 4/18/2014!
