About this event
Information
Come join us for wheel to wheel karting at VIR! The same weekend that NCR will be running the March Into Spring regional race, we will have an arrive-and-drive two-hour karting enduro at the VIR Kart Track on Saturday evening.
This event is run under the VIR Kart Track rules.
Please note, if it is raining this event will be canceled, and your cards will not be charged. We plan to make the call that day, if not earlier.
NOTE: Registration for this event constitutes one team entry. That means only the team captain must sign up. A maximum of ten (10) teams can compete at this event.
Entry fee is $250 per team. Payment method must be provided upon registration, however cards will not be charged until registration closes at 9pm Thursday before the event.
