(If under 18 years of age.)
If you feel that your pre-teen is the next Michael Schumacher or Danica Patrick, then our youth kart racing league is for you! Our Junior League is designed for children who are 4′ to 4’9″ in height and our Youth League is designed for children who are 4’10″ and up, both leagues are held on the same night. (Once a Jr. Driver has advanced and participated in one Adult Challenge G.P. race they can no longer participate in any Junior League event.) K1 Speed junior kart racing league provides children with invaluable lessons not only on racing, but sportsmanship and camaraderie as well. We believe that our youth kart league is a great way to spend time with your son or daughter, and can serve as a wonderful learning experience for both parents and their children! If you would like your son or daughter to become involved in youth kart racing, reserve a spot for your child in our racing league today, as space is limited!
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR YOUTH RACING LEAGUE
We believe that there is no better way to become involved with youth kart racing then with our youth racing league! The five month series is affordable, safe and accessible, and is intended to serve as an introduction to racing. As the youth kart racing league season progresses, drivers are able to use the experience to continuously improve their performance, and our timing system provides objective results which can be compared to previous races. We are proud of our youth kart league and are confident that you will not be disappointed with it!
During the series, each driver will participate in a Mini Grand Prix format race, consisting of a qualifying session to determine the starting order and a race for position. In the final round of the season drivers will compete in a full Grand Prix format race, which includes a practice session, qualifying session and 16 lap final. Our 12 round racing league series provides participants with the opportunity to experience the thrill of wheel-to-wheel racing, allows for extensive seat time, and even rewards top finishers with prizes and trophies – needless to say, we highly recommend it!

A minimum of 3 participants is required to run each event. Be advised that if there are 13 or more racers the event time will be dramatically increased due to expanded race heats.
SCORING:
- Points based on total number of racers that compete in final heat x 2. (15 racers means 1st place gets 30 points)
- 2 points less for each following place. (Same example, 2nd place gets 28 points, 3rd 26, etc.)
- 2 bonus points awarded for having the fastest qualifying time.
- If at the end of the season, there is a points tie, the driver with the best podium record will win.

- Final race will consist of 12 laps.
- Final race will be a rolling start (no more grid up starts).

*New drivers will be evenly distributed within qualifying groups. When the maximum number of drivers equals the total number of available jr. karts, the whole group will run together for qualifying and position races. No exceptions!
