Plantation Valley Kart Track |
NASCAR star Ricky Rudd feeds his need for speed at VIR’s Plantation Valley Kart Track.
The Plantation Valley Kart Track, located at VIRginia International Raceway, offers an opportunity to hone your racing skills on a state-of-the-art 5/8-mile, 24-foot-wide, paved karting circuit. Karts are available for rent, or you can bring your own. Almost every successful pro driver in the world today got their start in karting, where the dynamics of driving are amplified, more easily understood and often more readily practiced than in full-sized cars (not to mention more cost effective!)
The track is open to the public five days a week, from Wednesday through Sunday, 9:00 am to dusk (Monday-Tuesday also by appointment and nights on major weekends). Karts are available to rent at $35 for a half-hour and $55 for a full hour, which includes track time, helmet, etc.
VIR's Stratos Karts have 9hp Honda Electric Start motors and are perfect for both novices and experts.
When the track is wet, racing is postponed. All kart racers must possess a VIR kart license which costs $5.00 for one time use and $25.00 for a season license. Licenses are obtained at the track. Licenses can be revoked by management for any rule infraction made by the license holder.
Leagues have been started and will run on the same day as open practice. Call for info.
