Interested in Kart Racing?

The best way for you to see what it’s like is to come up to New Hampshire Motor Speedway and experience a NHKA Racing Series event. With the purchase of your pit pass, you are able to walk around the pits. Watch some of the races, wander around the pits and garages, look at the different types of go karts and ask a ton of questions. Don’t be shy!

If you stop by Pre-entry Registration, someone would be happy to answer your questions if they can or direct you to someone else that they know can help.   There are lots of friendly helpful people who would be happy to help.

Go Kart Racing is exciting!  There are classes for just about every age and budget.  Figure out which class or classes you’d be interested in and talk to some of those racers.  Many racers have started with used equipment while they learn more about driving and setup before moving up to new equipment.

Once you have your equipment, all that’s left is to practice, practice and practice some more.

Here’s an unofficial document that will give you a good idea of what happens at a NHKA Racing Series event.
