OFFICIAL DATES AND VENUES

Event Weekend # 1 January 22 & 23 Moroso Motorsports Park West Palm Beach, FL

This impressive new facility is arguably the finest in the Southeast. Located within the multi-purpose Moroso Motorsports Park complex, it offers full lighting for night events, FIA style curbing, multiple configurations, and on-site retail, rental and service. We will be using the .9 mile long course, a fast but technical layout that produces lap times in the 1:05 range. For information about practice and pit-spots, contact them on-line at the karting link at www.morosomotorsportspark.com , or phone Director of Karting Crystal Lewis at 561-799-5328.

Event Weekend # 2 February 19 & 20 Homestead Karting Homestead-Miami Speedway

A favorite of many drivers, in the past it has been dreaded by the mechanics, and loved by parts suppliers because of the tires and cones that defined the semi-permanent circuit. Those days are over. A new .7 length layout that incorporates a unique curbing system has allowed Homestead Karting to remove the dreaded tires and cones, producing lap times in the :49 range, and offering even more passing opportunities. It's sure to provide some of the best racing we've ever had at Homestead. For information about practice and pit-spots, contact them on-line at www.homesteadkarting.net, or phone Karting Director Tony Schroeder at 305-469-6188.

Event Weekend # 3 March 19 & 20 103rd Street Complex Jacksonville

After a one-year layoff we're excited to return to this historic karting facility. The North Florida Kart Club has continued to develop the facility, adding features and equipment to improve passing and safety.
