Driver Training
The 0.6-mile Andersen RacePark karting track provides the ideal learning ground for future racing champions, most of whom begin their racing careers in karting.
How to Get Started in Racing
Most professional race car drivers started out in some form of karting, and for some people (especially younger people) it becomes the natural first step in the pursuit of a professional career. But karting is also a great learning tool, as it offers high-performance vehicles and close competition at relatively low costs. There’s no better way to start experiencing the thrill and satisfaction of racing.
Teaching people to race is our primary goal. We offer many ways to learn, including private coaching for those who want individual attention.
