What better way to shake off the winter blahs than a day of racing with friends and making plans for next season?

January 21, 2012
Checkered Flag Indoor Karting
Racing Starts at 9am
NHKA Annual Meeting at 2pm

In the past, we’ve had great off-season races at Checkered Flag, which is owned by long-time NHKA racer Tom Prioli. The Race Against Cancer gives people the chance to go wheel-to-wheel against racers from all the region’s series: modifieds, legends, stock cars and karting. Bring the whole family, anyone 54” tall can compete and there are plenty of amusements for the youngsters. You’re guaranteed at least two heat races, and the top 8 drivers will run a 100-lap feature. It’s just $50 to enter, with half going directly to Racing Against Cancer™. To enter and for more information visit: http://checkeredflagindoorkarting.com

Even if you miss the racing, be sure to come for the NHKA Annual Meeting at 2pm. We’ll be talking about things like possible 2-day events and class structure. It’s a great time to air any concerns and make suggestions of how to keep the series growing strong. What’s more, you can save $10 on your 2012 NHKA membership if you sign up at the meeting.

So join us on January 21st, get together with friends and have fun for a great cause.

Join us for two jam-packed days of karting on the super-fast Hill Course at NHMS. TaGs, shifters, 2-cycles, 4-cycles… everyone is invited to our last big event of the season.

Sunny skies and perfect temperatures greeted us for our last temp track race of the season. Everyone enjoyed the new track layout. There were no big wrecks, and plenty of great racing. These S3 Lot dates gave us the chance to offer our racers the challenge of a new track twice the last two seasons, and who knows what next year will bring. That said, making them happen is more than a two-man job, so I want to give special thanks to everyone who came early and stayed late to help out.

Next up is our season finale Kartfest Weekend October 1 & 2 on the Hill Course. Stay tuned to this page for details coming very soon.
