Enduro roadracing karts:
It's like F1, NASCAR and Prototypes combined

You've always dreamed of going to LeMans and driving the Mulsanne, wanted to be in the lead 190mph draft at Daytona, and longed to be on the grid at Spa for the Formula One race.
More than likely, you have neither the experience, the sponsors, or the bottomless bank account
to get any of these accomplished. (Old joke: How do you make a million bucks in auto racing?
Start with 15 million) You've looked at SCCA and other racing programs, but the time and expense
are out of your league. Still, the fire burns bright to go roadracing on America's finest roadcourses.
What if you could go an average speed of 80+mph, hitting top speeds near 100mph, all at famous roadrace courses like VIR, MId-Ohio, Daytona, NJ Motorsports Park, Road America, Portland
and Sears Point?

Well, you can. For a budget that will make you laugh with pleasure.

Roadrace karting, often called enduro racing, happens at so many American roadcourses, yet it remains one of the best kept secrets in racing, even within karting itself. From Briggs and Stratton powered 90mph karts, to sleek laydown, windcheating racers, to the superquick 6-speed, water-cooled shifter karts (not forgetting the 160mph SuperKarts!), you'll draft just inches from the kart in front of you
at 100mph, stop with amazing force with front and rear disk brakes, and reach cornering speeds approaching 1g. The ways to go roadrace karting are wide, varied, and a paradise for the tinkerer and those that want an off-the-shelf racer. It's got technology: most guages are dataloggers, with instant readout of temps, rpms, mph and lap times. It's got simplicity: some karts are available with self-starters, or only one speed (mash it to go, mash it to stop), with lots of bodywork or just the required minimum.
2-cycle, 4-cycle, watercooled, aircooled, restricted, highly unrestricted. The beauty is that you can pick your level of mechanical involvedness, which also affects your budget one way or the other.

You get lots of seat time at kart roadraces. Events usually are 2-3 days, over a weekend.
You'll be able to race one 30 or 45 minute race on Saturday, and one on Sunday. If you change
your kart mechanically, you can also do other races as well. Many events also have open practice
on Friday, for an additional fee. There are also short practices on race mornings as well.

So, okay, you can go fast and race on tracks you've dreamed of.

How much?
