What is the best way to get started?
Come out and visit us on race day. Spectating outside the pit area is free. Everyone in the pit area must have a paid pit pass for insurance purposes. This pit pass will allow you to walk around the pits and to see the karts up close. Once you have decided what class to run, it is time to find your first kart. Many racers start with used equipment, while they learn about kart racing, then sell it later and buy new equipment.

What are the ages and classes to race?
You can race 2 cycle, 4 cycle or even a shifter. Below are the primary classes run at SKRA club events.

Class	Engine	Fuel	Min Weight	Age
Kid Kart	50 cc comer	Gas	135	5 - 8
Jr. I Animal	Briggs Animal	Gas	260	8 - 12
Jr. Clone	Harbor Freigh 6.5 HP "Blue" motor only	Gas	290	8 - 15
Jr. II Animal	Briggs Animal	Gas	310	12 - 15
World Formula	Briggs World Formula	Gas	365	16-up
TAG	Various per TAG USA rules	Gas	370 - 385	16-up
Formula 125	Production Moto Cross	Gas	385	16-up

SKRA will not turn any racer away as long as your kart meets safety requirements. If you do not have a kart that matches one of our classes, we will find the most appropriate class for you to run.
