Road racing continues at NHMS. We all owe a word of thanks to our generous sponsors and dedicated racers who got their pre-entries in, as well as worked the phones, email and forums to get others to do the same.
 
Pre-Entry Extended – Still Time to Save
To encourage more pre-entries, we have extended the deadline to April 9th. With at-track entries set at $120, pre-entering is a great way to save $20 per class. Get yours in today, click here.
 
Come Friday Night – Focus On Racing Saturday
We are asking racers to arrive Friday night so Saturday we can get straight to the racing. You can get in the gate 6-9pm Friday. Set up your pits, take care of your pre-registration and get pre-race tech out of the way. The more racers who do this, the more we can make the most of our track time.
 
Keep Those Entries and Sponsorships Coming
The April event is happening because you wanted it to happen. If you want future races at NHMS to be secure, that’s up to you too. Call all your karting friends and get them to join the fun. Also, sponsorships are still available, to get the form click here. Let’s carry this momentum into the next corner!

Great news! New Hampshire Motor Speedway has given us a better date for the season’s first road race: Saturday April 17, 2010. No snow or run off. No freezing temperatures. No conflict with Easter or the NJ race. No excuses!

If you have already sent in your pre-entry for the 3rd, you’re all set. If you entered but can’t make the new date just email Lee leec@nhka.net.

We still need a minimum of 100 entries to run the event. The new deadline for pre-entries is March 12, 2010. So if you haven’t entered yet, Download the pre-entry form and mail it in today!

As we had planned for the previously announced date, this will be a doubleheader. More great news is the track has granted us Friday evening entry from 6-9pm. So if you want to come early for safety tech and to be set up for a busy Saturday of racing, you can camp at the track.

Why the sudden change? We have a new person to work with at the track who has said he wants to help us build the club back up. Could this mean additional road racing dates this season? Possibly. A strong turn out on April 17th would go a long way to proving that NHKA makes dollars and sense for the track. If we want the track to care about karting, we need to show how much we care about karting. Get those entries in!

Apex Kartsports & CFMotorsports present the
Granite State Kart Championship
Hosted by NHKA & Sugar Hill Speedway

New England sprint karters have been asking for an affordable series that will draw big fields of the best racers for a championship worth winning. The NHKA Racing Series is pleased to be playing a big part in making it reality for the 2010 racing season!

Twelve races. Two venues. Multiple tracks.

Completely separate from our road racing series, NHKA will host six GSKC races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. There will be three races on the high-speed Hill Course, and three more on SuperNats! inspired temporary tracks. Sugar Hill Speedway will host six races on its newly expanded road course. Now nearly a half-mile long, the new track offers all the twists and Gs of the old one, but more of them.

2010 Granite State Kart Championship Schedule

The series will occur over seven weekends, with five of those weekends being doubleheaders: NHMS on Saturday then Sugar Hill on Sunday. This gives racers maximum challenge and maximum time at home with their families in the summer.

Classes for everyone. Pricing for anyone.

GSKC’s soon to be announced class structure will welcome TaG, 2-cycle, 4-cycle and shifters. There will be divisions for Masters, Seniors, Juniors and Kids. Fuel and tire rules will be open. And you’ll be glad to know that that the goal is to hold entries to $60 or less.

Be ready for the first race! Saturday May 1, 2010

The first race of the Granite State Kart Championship will be on a temp track at NHMS. A blank slate for every driver – the perfect way to kick off a new series. Be there!
