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.

Video of WGN at JET Karting

A couple weeks ago, WGN Morning News came to our track.  Their sports guy, Pat, is doing a series challenging Chicago area kids to a variety of sports.  Mason Franck challanged him to a race with his Kid Kart.

The spot aired today, and it's embeded below.  We like it.  Thanks Mason, Pat, and the WGN crew.

Early practice - Aug. 7 Night Race

This coming Saturday is a night race, and so organized practice begins at 3:30.  We have been asked by some racers to allow practice in the morning as well.  Since we don't have any Group Outings scheduled this time, we can do that.

Open Practice will be 10am - 2pm, for $20.  Any Season Practice Passes will be valid for the morning.

See you then!

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!
