Opportunity for New Racers: Experiencing Karting

All too often, potential kart racers face a challenging proposition when it comes to transforming their passion and interest in motorsport to becoming an active participant as a driver.

From getting up to speed with new mechanical and driving challenges, to facing financial hurdles regarding the commitment it may take to purchase a performance kart and equipment, or even the challenge of becoming a part of the motorsport community, there are multiple hurdles a new racer must face as they transition into karting competition.

For those in the Colorado-Region, Point Karting recognized this challenge and developed the "Try Karting" program. 

Point Karting tailors each karting experience package to a clients needs. Each program allows clients to give performance kart driving a try within an environment that brings professional driving instruction and mechanical support to those that need it most–the newcomer.

Each client that participates in the “Try Karting” program is met with a thorough and progressive approach to guiding their transition into kart racing competition.

Initially racers receive an in-depth consultation regarding their overall sporting goals, aspirations, and prior experience regarding motorsports competition.

Next, drivers are fitted to a professionally-prepared performance kart and subsequently mentored throughout an introductory kart driving experience, which brings them up to speed within a progressive and methodical track day environment.

Because each client’s initial goals, future objectives, and prior performance driving experience is unique, each “Try Karting” experience is also truly unique!

Due to the variety of track options within Colorado, Point Karting conducts the "Try Karting" program at a variety of locations. Primarily, the Denver-Metro region facilities of Action Karting and IMI Motorsports Complex are commonly utilized.

Depending on the age, budget, and competitive ambition of the client, Apex Predator has multiple performance karts available for utilization within the “try karting” program:

• Cadet karts (ages 7-12)
• Full-Size racing kart (12+)

Depending on the age of the client - the kart chosen may vary. For younger drivers, the cadet kart will be the chassis of choice. For those older than the age of 12, the full-size kart option will be more appropriate. Both vehicles are typically powered by a 8.5-horsepower Briggs & Stratton racing engine to start new racers off with a moderate amount of performance. Additional engine packages with more performance may be utilized in this program, depending on individual arrangements with the client.

 Eligibility

The “Try Karting” experience program is available for drivers aged 7 and beyond. Drivers younger than age 7 maybe be eligible for participation by special arrangement and coordination - as regional "Kid Kart" racers may be willing to a youngster to try their kart during the program.
