How it works

Put your team in now. Pay by August 1.

1

Bring a team name

Every team has a name and four drivers. That's the whole entry ticket.

2

No payment today

Put your team in now. Full payment is due by August 1, 2027.

3

20 seats, in order

The first 20 names get the first 20 seats. Everyone after that is a backup, in the order they signed up.

4

Pay by August 1 or the seat moves

If a seat isn't paid by August 1, 2027, it goes to the next name on the list.

Only if you're really inOnly put your team in if you're really in. Every name on this list is holding a seat somebody else wants. If you're a maybe, that's OK. Get on the email list instead and you'll hear first when anything opens up.

If the backup list gets long, a second 20-team heat and a race-off are on the table. Up to 40 teams. We start with 20.

Sign up

Put your team in for 2027

Team name, four drivers, and what you want: a race seat, a sponsor package, or both. Time-stamped the moment you hit submit.

Sponsor packages: what each one gets you

2027 packages match 2026. The Title Sponsor (Team Principal) includes two race karts, Lights Out and Hot Lap include one, and the rest are sponsorship only. Every race kart comes with 4 driver passes and 2 spectator passes. First names in get first pick, and full payment is due by August 1, 2027. Packages that include karts need a team name and four drivers for every kart, same as a regular team.
