⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: These garages are for the ROAD RACE EVENT ONLY — NOT THE SPRINT TRACK EVENT.

📋 WE WILL HAVE A WAITING LIST!

Once the remaining garages are claimed, we will begin a waiting list. From time to time, garages may become available due to reservation changes or garages not being paid for within the required timeframe.

If a garage becomes available, we will contact those on the waiting list in the order they signed up.

So even if you miss out on the final 6, make sure you get on the waiting list!

🏁 Grab one of the final 6 while you still can!

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY, KARTING! 🎉

It all started in August 1956.

With some steel tubing, four wheels and a small two-stroke engine, Art Ingels built the first kart in Southern California — planting the seed for a sport that would spread around the world.

Along with early karting pioneer Duffy Livingstone, those first laps helped launch something much bigger than anyone could have imagined.

70 years later, we're still racing.

From all of us at the World Karting Association — Happy Birthday, Karting!
