Speedway karting is our name for Oval track racing, whether it’s on dirt or asphalt. Sideways racing action on specially built oval karts is what it’s all about here.

Short oval, 1/10 to 1/5 mile in length, look simple, but offer quite a challenge. Speedway karting will certainly keep your attention; and it definitely keeps the attention of the fans too! These machines sport all the wings and fairings most full size sprint cars have, and since Speedway Racing events are generally held on Friday or Saturday evenings, there are always large crowds of excited fans on hand to enjoy an evening of hot racing action.

The equipment that you’ll need to go Speedway Karting will be either a good sprint chassis or specifically built oval kart that incorporates an “off-set” design, and a set of tires with various tread patterns to adjust the kart’s bite to changing track conditions. As in other karting divisions, there are Speedway Karting classes for both 2 and 4-cycle engines.

Divided by engine type, as well as the drivers age and experience, there’s a place for just about anyone who wants to race. Probably the least expensive form of karting, Speedway Karts cost about the same as a good Sprint Kart.  A good used kart can be sitting in your garage for under $1500.
