GO KART RACE
alright guys and gals the day is upon us this saturday oct 22nd 1130 am first race all are wecome to race whether ive talked to you or not i reserved extra spots for those on the fence here are the rules one more time
Sprint Race' program. All drivers sign in upon arriving at the track. A safety and coaching, orientation session is conducted trackside. Safety gear is issued and a 10 lap practice/qualifying session is run. Following practice a Driver's Meeting is conducted to set up the race event. Each driver then competes in three (3) ten (10) lap races. Groups sized sixteen (16) drivers or less have all drivers compete against each other in all three (3) races. Groups larger than sixteen (16) drivers will run a heat system in which we qualify drivers for a feature or a semi feature race. The feature race determines our winner and the top three (3) drivers are recognized with awards following the race event.
What is the cost of these events?
Both the 'Sprint' and 'Endurance' format described here are $80/driver. paid upon arival at the track
What do I need to wear?
Drivers must wear lace up shoes and socks. You can choose to wear either short or long pants. The safety gear issued will be a helmet, balaclava/helmet sock, driving gloves, and either a racing jacket or full coverall. A warning to drivers wearing shorts; our coveralls are off the rack sized and anyone 6'2" or taller and/or a little bit big around the middle may not be comfortable in our coveralls. We'd advise these drivers to bring a pair of jeans along to change into at the track. Our race jackets go up to 3XL.
Our guests may use their own gear if they have it. Helmets must be full face Snell 2000 minimum rating. Driving suits from other forms of racing may be used and/or a motorcycle or denim jacket. Leather or suede palm gloves are also required. Remember, the required safety gear is provided as a part of the race entry fee.
Do these karts fit 'Adult Sized' people?
Yes they do! We have many karts with XXL seats and even a couple with a seat we affectionately call the 'Park Bench'. We have had drivers 6'10" tall and over 300 pounds on our karts! On the other end of the scale we have seat inserts to reduce seat size to a medium or a small and pedals with extensions that adapt the kart for the petite lady drivers. Usually drivers down to 5' tall can manage the controls.
Can our group include people who aren't driving?
Sure. We often have spectators at our races. The entertainment doesn't stop just because you don't drive. Some people seem to have more fun giving those driving a hard time rather than driving themselves. Watching your friends or work mates trying to look like Mario Andretti while on track can create some of the best laughs you've had in a long while!
What's to drink or eat while we have our fun at the track?
Obviously there is no consumption of alcohol allowed before or during your on track time. After your event you may celebrate with an adult beverage if you wish. We do have soda machines on site to keep you hydrated during your race event.
Food: We have a large patio with picnic tables that can be used for a meal either before or after your race event. We have seated groups as big as 100 on this patio. You are welcome to bring your own food with you. We have a BBQ grill that you can use also. You may have something delivered/catered if you wish, or you can ask Sugar River Raceway to take care of having refreshments delivered. We work with a local caterer that can deliver a wide range of meals for any group. We can have pizza or subs delivered also. Indicate your needs when booking and we can either deliver the meal or direct you to a food vendor. Sugar River Raceway does not have a liquor license, but our caterer does, so adult beverages for after race celebration are available. You may also bring your own cooler for that victory lane toast!
hope to see all there i will be ariving at around 10:30 any questions please feel free to call or text me 608-219-9239
