NY Chapter Spring Kart Race

Come out and warm up for what should be an awesome Auto-X and track season with some go-kart racing at Oakland Valley Race Park (approximately 90 minutes from the Throgs Neck Bridge). This is an Arrive and Drive event, so drivers are not required to purchase or bring any gear. You are encouraged to use your own (helmet, gloves, suits, etc.) but the track will provide any racing gear needed at no extra charge. This is a real go-kart track with elevation, increasing and decreasing radius turns and 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 is tailored to accommodate drivers 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 be placed on a team for the endurance race. Teams will be formed at the track by drawing names from hats balancing team skill levels. Each driver will have 3 or 4 driving stints, totaling one 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! If you have any questions, please contact: Mike Sussman
