- Weather impact
- Outdoor karting closes for rain at most rental facilities. Sprint racing continues on wet tires for race weekends. Check forecast — sessions get bumped or refunded.
- Kart classes
- Look for rental karts (low-power 4-stroke), shifter karts (6-speed 125cc), TaG (touch-and-go ignition 100-125cc), and kid karts (50-60cc). Each class has its own day.
