Look here for information about “at the track”  things you should know, courtesies and rules we must follow while attending an event at NH Motor Speedway.

Sharing the Facility

The Center Garages and parking areas are not always available during a karting event weekend.  There are occasions where we “share the track” with other organizations.  During these times, please respect the spaces assigned to each organization.  “Sharing the track” really means sharing the facility.  We’ve seen NH State Troopers, bicycle racers, company outings, etc.

Entry into Kart Racing

Prior to using the track:

  • You must purchase your pit pass.
  • You must be entered into either practice or a class on the day you use the track.  If you pre-entered, you must pick up your pre-entry in person before you go out onto the track.
  • Your must bring your NHKA registration/pre-entry information to safety tech along with your kart and helmet.
  • You must  pass the pre-race safety tech inspection.

General Rules & Info

Please keep a fire lane of at least 20 – 30 feet open around the garages. Do not block gates.

No one under the age of 12 is allowed past the small hot pit wall.

Race gas is available at the track as a cash only sale

Compressed air is available.

Special Parking Areas

Reserved Areas

Only people with permission from a KEI Official or NHKA Racing Series Sponsors are allowed to park in areas marked as Reserved.  If your friend is a sponsor, that does not entitle you to park next to him in the reserved area. There are many classes open for full sponsorship and anyone can purchase a personal sponsorship. Sponsorship forms are available either at registration or from Dave Whitesell.

Hot Pit Area

The Hot Pit Area is located on pit road. Parking in the hot pit area is no longer allowed.

Garages

Garages bays are available for rent by selecting Garage Rental on the NHKA Racing Series Road Course Pre-Entry Form.  Fees per bay are listed on the form.  Garages may be rented at the track if they are available.  The garages are locked each night and unlocked in the morning. If you and several of your friends get together to share the cost of the rent, it does not cost as much per person and it is very comfortable to work out of.

People renting garages should empty trailers on arrival and park their vehicles towards the rear parking area to keep access lanes open and so those not renting garages don’t have such a long push to the grid.

Noise Restrictions

Do not start or run any kart motors before 8:05AM. This is a strict rule of the NHMS Track Management.

NHMS is restricted to a 99Db noise level measured at track edge per the City of Loudon. Air boxes are mandatory on all Sprint Shifters and Spec 125 where applicable. Experience indicates that upper-class karts require some sort of muffler.

Kart Stands

Do not set kart stands in the hot pit area where the karts drive.  Keep the karts on the track and the stands in the pit area. Put something under the legs of the kart stand so they do not sink into the asphalt.  Either weld plates onto the bottom of the stands or put a block of wood or even pieces of a number panel under the legs. The track management could confiscate stands without the proper footing.

Fluid Spills & Washing Parts

Do not wash engine parts with solvents in the rest rooms.  If you have to wash off engine parts, there may be parts cleaners located in the pit area.  Be sure to bring a catch pan to collect any gas or oil spills.

If you do accidentally spill any fluid on the asphalt, there is speedy dry in the scale building.  It is the responsibility of the competitors who create a spill to clean the spill.  Violators will be dealt with severely.
