CUP KART NEWS

Champions Cup’s return to Dousman marks the conclusion of the Kart City North Division and the Divisional season itself. These are hallowed grounds for a four cycle racer in the mid-west. Dousman has played host to some of the largest four cycle races over the years. They have always been an excellent partner of ours, and we are excited to have the final round of the season at their newly revised track! Please make sure to download the Supplemental Rules and Schedule before you head to the track!

We’re one week away from Kart Cup’s return to the hallowed grounds of G&J Kartway in Camden, OH for the final round of the Champions Cup – Boon and Sons Central Division! This is going to be a great race. We’ve already heard from many “old time” four cycle racers that they will be making the trip to race on this famous track, many whom have not shown their face at a regional race for quite some time. They are picking a great race to make a return to. Camden offers everything a four cycle racer would want, and with this being our second ever night race what more could anybody want! Registration will remain open until through the 25th

Our Home Track Hero Callout promotion has gotten a lot of attention. We’ve seen a notable increase in local participation at the track we have visited since we started this right before the race at 61 Kartway. And at each track we have visited, we’ve had at least one winner. The last race at Road America however, set a new bar. Simply put, the folks at the RAKC broke the bank! They collecting nearly $15oo cash over the course of the weekend, scoring multiple wins and podiums along the way. The club had great attendance from their local ranks, and their skill showed as they competed against some of the best four cycle racers in the country. After licking our

First off, our sincere apologies for the delay in getting these out to everybody. We have lots of excuses, but who would want to hear about them! Road America Supps and Schedule Please make sure you enter and exit through Gate 4, which is located off of County Road J. Overnight access is only available after you have purchased a wristband, and you will have to use gate 6 for that access. If you arriving before the gate opens, please park alongside the road leading to Gate 4 to wait.   There is one important note that has been added to these supplemental rules in regards to the minimum front track width of a kart equipped with a CIK nose.

We are very excited about the upcoming weekend at the East Lansing Kart Track! East Lansing is an “old school” four cycle track, in that it is tight and technical. The racers we have spoken to that have raced there in the past said it was one of the best four cycle tracks they had ever raced at! It was a staple of national four cycle racing for many years, and we are excited to bring the series to Michigan to continue that tradition. As this is a new track for our series, many of the racers and our staff will be unfamiliar with the facility. Please feel to ask any questions you may have when you arrive or throughout

After doing this for 5 years, it seems like we have the same discussion with our host tracks each season… “How do we get more of the locals to come out and race?” Back in the good ole’ days, when the traveling series came to town, locals came out on droves to defend their home turf and try their skills against the big boys. There’s a plenty of reasons why the locals don’t come out more often, but the one we hear the most is the added costs for entry fees and tires because it’s not what they use for their clubs. Well, we’ve solved it… Introducing the Home Track Hero Callout! To be eligible, drivers can not have competed

Some of the coolest races in NASCAR and Formula 1 are the Night Races they have sprinkled throughout each seasons schedule. The added element of racing under the lights seems to change the feel of each track, and always provides for close racing. When we approached the owners of 61 Kartway about hosting our first Night Race, they jumped at the opportunity. Their track has excellent lighting, which provides the thrill of racing under the stars while still being safe. If you look over the schedule for this event (DOWNLOAD SCHEDULE HERE), you’ll see that we are also having a late practice on Friday. This will allow all of our racing families to leave home a little bit later, and

All the details and Supplemental rules for the 2nd round of the Boon and Sons Central Division are now available: Central Round 2 Supps/Schedule Download Due to the tracks agreement with the local municipality, we will be pushing our normal Sunday start time back to 9:30am. No engines will be allowed to run before that time. Please also note that we have permanently adopted the 2 position penalty rule for pushing while approaching the green flag on starts. This as well as clarification on some tech procedures was added to the rule book last week. See you all in Springfield!
