I have a few karting questions !
1. how much does it costs on a average race day? ( excluding tires and fuel and crashes). looking for pit passes, entry fees,
2. Do most of the tracks charge a pit stall fee, if so what is it?
3.Is the CSC and club racing two different things, if so how much to join each of them? and how do I do that?( contact names and numbers)
4. How many races do each of the tracks hold at the club level? ( I know the CSC has 5 races in it)
5. Can I race either or do I have to race both? (benefits of either or both)
6. At the club level do the tracks require you to register for the year? ie a set amount to register your number)
Im just trying to figure out, after being out of karting for several years, what the costs to me will be.
Thanks in advance
I’ll give this a shot. I think everybody else is out racing today.
1. around 65 bucks or so for entry fees and a pit spot. More if you have to buy additional pit passes for crew, family, etc. You excluded consumables which can be a significant part of your outlay.
2. Yes you pay a pit stall fee on race day, not on practice days.
3. CSC and Club races are separate series. You do not have to join either series if you dont care about points and just want to race a few days here and there. Club racing is a great way to get your feet wet.
4. Check each track’s website for race dates and frequency.
5. you can race either series or both or none. How big is your wallet?
6. I pay a yearly driver fee at the Track to ‘register’ or something. It is only like 25 bucks, check their website for details. Daily test and tune is 35 bucks at IMI and at Centennial. Also check out http://www.actionkarts.com http://www.gjmotorspeedway.com http://www.thetrack.us and http://www.cremotorsports.com for more info.
You didn’t mention which class you were considering and where you live. What did you race previously (ref your ‘return to karting’ statement)?
