About this event
We are delighted to kick off the 2023 USPKS Championship again at the Orlando Kart Center on March 10-12. OKC was the season opener in 2022 and provided some great racing and an all-time record 326 entry turnout. We invite you to join us in Orlando, FL once again in 2023. The facility is located just a short half hour drive from Disney World and other famous attractions. You will want to pack up the whole family for this event, and make a holiday out of it! USPKS Registration for this event will open on Saturday, February 4th and remain open for one month.

Driver and Kart Profiles and Transponders
Your vehicle profile(s) in your MSR "garage" are where the kart brand/type and transponder comes from. If you register the same "vehicle" in 2 different classes, you will be using the same transponder in both classes, as they are tied to the vehicle. To use 2 different transponders, you need to create 2 different "vehicles" in your garage. For example, create a X30 kart and a KA Kart to use to separate transponders. Using the correct vehicle information will help make sure that your stats online are correct. You may use the same transponder in 2 classes, but you are responsible for moving them back and forth. If you want your driver's name and hometown information to show up correctly, please put them in your profile correctly.
