Sessions are 11 minutes long on RX7 karts (powered by Honda GX 390cc engines). It's not unusual to hit 40+ mph on the back straights with these, so it is a ton of fun.
If we can get together 15 or more people, we will be able to get group pricing. Quite a few of us will be running all day with the "Kart To you Puke" (KTP) package which is $120 for unlimited karting all day (you must have a SPK membership to do this, that is and additional $15 for this group only. Normally $40). You can also pay for single races at $25 per session and run as many session as you like.
Last year we went up early and set up a camp between Summit Main and the karting track. This worked out very well since we were all exhausted after driving karts all day long. This also gives you a chance to talk to everyone you were racing with. Feel free to join us in this, but let us know you are interested in this so we can plan a space accordingly.
Summit Point is approximately a 90 minute drive from DC.
