Located at VIRginia International Raceway, the VIR Kart Track offers an opportunity to hone your racing skills on a state-of the-art 5/8 miles, 24-foot-wide paved karting circuit.
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.
The track is open to the public five days a week, from Wednesday through Sunday, 9am to dusk (Monday-Tuesday also by appointment). Arrive and drive in the VIR 9.5hp karts. In addition, there are open practices where you can put your own kart on the track. Contact the VIR Kart Track for more details. 434-822-2995 or 434-822-7700 x350 karttrack@virciub.com
