JET Karting is the Chicago Suburbs Best Karting Experience

Not your standard "bumper cars," these karts are capable of over 45 mph, evenly matched to make the driver the most crucial part of the equation. These Italian karts are true racing machines. Dice it up on Chicagolands’s best karting track. Measuring in at over a half mile long, this professional road course is designed to reward drivers for using smooth hands and a cool head. With fast sweepers, hairpin turns and elevation changes, it’s no wonder that Concept Haulers Motor Speedway in Norway, IL is a many time host of karting National Championships.


Spec Racer Rookie

Spec Racer Rookie karts are on their way!  Let me explain a little...

We have had a tremendous success with the Spec Racer class because it delivers very even racing that doesn't overwhelm budgets, mechanical ability, or drivers.  And it does it for under two thousand dollars.


Rotax critical mass

I've been wanting to get more Rotax racing here for some time.  It's difficult to get any new class going because nobody wants to be the first to jump in without knowing that others will be there to race against.  I want to push all the Rotax classes up to 'critical mass'.

Backwards practice tomorrow

Backwards practice tomorrow, the 8th, and again on the 15th.

It will be ONLY backwards practice for the day, and there will not be rentals at all.

Normal practice fees apply.  $33 drivers, $13 crew, unless you have a season pass.  All practice passes still apply.

All our barriers are up, and we're ready to go.  Hope to see you here!

Race it>> Reverse it<< Weekend

'Race it' on Saturday night under the lights forwards for season points, then we 'Reverse it' to run backwards Sunday!

There will be LOTS of TecPro barriers to keep things safe with the different runoff areas, and we'll have to highly modify the grid to keep racers and crew out of the spin-zone, but we've got plans to cover all that.  Add in some cool party plans Saturday night, and we foresee lots of grinnin' and laughin'.  Sunday's race will not count for season points.

Unsportsmanlike Behavior

We have noticed, been informed of, and been involved with some incidents that should be considered 'unsportsmanlike'.

Good sportsmanship includes elements of understanding and forgiveness. It is definitely possible to battle for position and win without disrespecting fellow racers, track staff, or spectators - either on or off the track.

Being disrespectful, disruptive, or out of control in a way that is viewed by others to be unsportsmanlike will be treated in the following manner:

Night Race weather

Ok, so the radar is not looking great at the moment, but we don't race until late.  Good thing.  Mid-day weather is wet for sure.  Evening has a chance.  If it can be done, we'll make it happen.

I'll post more updates through the day on my twitter account: www.twitter.com/jetkarting

League Racing Summer Schedule

In honor of the Holiday, we'll not be holding a League Racing tonight.  League's start again on the 11th of June.  The schedule for the rest of the year is up too.

You may notice that we are pushing back the start time to 7pm, as we've had some racers have to rush to get here by 6:30.  We all like racing, but shouldn't have to do it on the street...

If you're thinking of getting into karting, or are looking for a cool way to spend Friday evenings with friends, give it a shot.
