Kid Kart
What is Kid Kart?
Kid Kart is a safe, non-competitive introduction to karting for 5 – 11 year old kids.
Instruction is provided; the program teaches kids how to navigate the track safely, the racing line is introduced, and kart control is emphasized.
No wheel-to-wheel racing takes place but lapping sessions provide the concepts of braking points, lines, handling, etc.
2-3 Monday evenings per month (May – September) weather permitting.
> Karts on track from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
> 15 minute track sessions (Kid Kart / Formula Kid Kart Alternate)
> BBQ supper break / discussion / track setup
> 15 minute track sessions (Kid Kart / Formula Kid Kart Alternate) – 6:30 PM to dusk.
