Location: Kart2Kart, near SW corner of 19 Mile Rd and Van Dyke. www.kart2kart.com (586) 997-8800.
Cost: $41 includes everything you need to race - helmet, neck collar, etc.
Format: TWO 8-10 minute qualifying sessions, ONE 8-10 minute race. Races are broken up into groups based on best lap in qualifying.
Anyone is welcome, bring a friend! In past years we have had 40+ racers per event, consisting of experienced pros through rookies - both male and female. With our format, you are sure to have someone to race with no matter how fast or slow you are.
Points: Points will be awarded NASCAR style (the only system that awards points far enough down the list). There are 8 race dates - your points total will include your best 6. This allows you to miss up to 2 events without being penalized by work, spouse, kids, and/or other pesky commitments. You do not need to run for the points if you don't want to - just show up and have fun when your schedule permits.
Awards: The final event will feature an awards ceremony along with pizza/pop for all participants. Awards for the top 5 will consist of trophies and other prizes courtesy of S3 partners/sponsors/advertisers. This year we have some really cool stuff.
Driving Courtesy: For the most part everyone is well behaved on-track. While this is a "fun" series, we do strongly discourage rough driving, putting people in the wall, and the bump pass. If you're going to try a pass, make it CLEAN.
