I'm in a good area for oval racing. I have a kart dirt oval within a 20 minute drive, and a paved 1/4 midget club track about 15 minutes away. The local 1/4 midget club here has been around for 30 years, has a great facility, and even hosts national races. There are several other choices for kart ovals within about an hour drive. Unfortunately, road courses of any sort are few and far between here in Indiana. The closest kart road course is world-class, though - Mark Dismore's New Castle Motorsports Park. I've done a few laps there in a TAG kart. Lots of fun! If I ever do any more karting it will probably be at New Castle. Pat Dotson |

You have to have a good control body for good safe racing, especially for kids. Some of the (not all mind you) control and sanctioning bodies only care about the money coming in and neglect to properly police safety and other regulations. Ed |
