A: No, for safety reasons we run adult and youth races separately.

A: The youth has to be between the ages of 8-15 and must stand 48 inches. We have seat cushions to help accommodate smaller youths. For the adult karts you have to be 16 or older.

Q: My son/daughter races professionally; can I show you their racing license so they can race the adult karts?

A: It’s awesome to see youths with great talent but our insurance policy stipulates youths (ages 8-15) can only drive the youth karts and not the adult karts. There is, however, an exception to this rule. If a youth is between the ages of 13-15 they can take our Advanced Youth Karting Course, which familiarizes them with the adult karts. Upon completion of the course, the youth (ages 13-15) is allowed to drive the adult karts anytime. They MUST pass OUR course which certifies them under OUR insurance policy that they can safely drive the adult karts. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Q: How do I get a job at the PIT?

A: It depends what position you want. For track marshals and cashiers we prefer individuals with previous work-related experience.

You’re welcome to drop by a resume and fill out an application but these are only reviewed if we're hiring. There is no need to follow up; we will call the individuals we know are qualified.
