Default Kart Driving

The racing season has just ended for the PCA Kart League at Allsports in Sterling, VA. Starting this Tuesday night, 5/3 at about 7pm, we shift to a combination of drill work and grand prix racing. This is a wonderful opportuntiy to learn some new skills and/or improve existing skills and drive karts with other Porsche owners.

For more information on the League and Allsports see:

This is gonna be really cool too with a whole series of instructional exercises the first part of the night, followed by a few mini-enduros. A great chance to get "up to speed" without all the competition. A great way to prepare for next season!!

oh and i did end up beating Bob

$65 per session. In previous seasons, we payed half the fee up front and then only paid 32.50 each time we went. Its a great bargain for the amount of time you get!

Bill

I believe Bill is quite right, except that these sessions are all pay-as-you-go, no upfront payments.

Do you need to sign up ahead of time or just show up Tuesday at 7 pm?

Is this once a week on Tuesday evenings?

Thanks,

Just show up on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month. Depending on number of drivers, we either run two or three groups of races. We have yet to turn away participants.
