The Utah Kart Championship is the only outdoor go-kart sprint racing series in Utah. The season kicks off in March and runs through October with a full slate of championship rounds. Considered the most affordable form of auto racing, go-kart racing is a sport designed for the fun and enjoyment of individuals and entire families. With competitors ranging in age from 5 to 65+ years of age, and numerous race class options, it truly is for anyone.
All events are held at the beautiful Utah Motorsports Campus in Tooele, Utah, a world-class racing facility. As a driver or crew member you'll enjoy a paved pit area, available garage space for rent, and numerous track configuration options. Just going to be spectating? This is definitely the facility to be a supporting friend or family member (we think you should drive, but we'll let it slide this time). There are plenty of clean restroom facilities, many elevated viewing locations, and a place to grab some snacks and drinks.
