For the 5^th straight year, Sahlen’s has partnered with Endurance Karting to give a free race weekend package away on TheRaceSite.com.  The contest started in the site in early January and ran through the entire ROLEX 24 Hours at Daytona build up and race.  Then the contest concluded at the end of February.  As has occurred in the past, the entries came flowing in for this great prize.  Now, a winner has been chosen and the lucky individual will have a chance to get behind the wheel themselves.

“This contest has been great.  I know that we look forward to giving this prize away every year. I know that times that we as a family have been treated to a great weekend with the Endurance Karting gang, it has been a blast.” – shared Will Nonnamaker

Reasons to Race with Endurance Karting

Endurance hire-kart racing was essentially developed in Europe for those who wanted a demanding, but inexpensive way to participate in long distance motor races using teams of drivers.

Patterned after endurance sports car racing like the 24 hours of Le Mans, the ROLEX 24 hours at Daytona, and the Sebring 12 hours of Endurance, the popular form of motor sports has taken root and grown all over the European continent.

Now, Johan Schwartz has brought this inexpensive form of racing to the United States in the form of Endurance Karting.

Endurance Karting is designed to allow anyone, virtually anywhere to arrive at the karting location with nothing except the yen to drive a motor vehicle at its limits.

Why Endurance Karting?

1.      Arrive and Race:  Endurance Karting provides all the equipment and staff needed in an event.  Karts, mechanics and fuel are already included in your cost.  Driving gear (suits, jackets, helmets, gloves, neck collars, and rib protectors are available for rental the day of the event). Just show up with your competitive spirit to experience close racing and exciting pit stops, first hand!

2.      Sign up as Individual or a Team:  You can sign up individually or put a team together with friends, coworkers or enter as a corporate team. If you sign up as an individual, you will be matched with drivers of similar driving skills.

3.     Least Expensive form of Racing: At an Endurance Karting event you will get the most seat time for your money.  Not only this, but you are not responsible for crash damage to the kart!  We make it an endurance event so that many can be involved for a long enough period that everyone goes home feeling like they had ample opportunity to explore the world of wheel-to-wheel motor racing and gain some understanding that they may not previously have had. 

4.     Beginner to the Professional/Young to the Seasoned: We offer a variety of programs for all skill levels and ages.  Whether racing with a group of friends, bringing clients to the track for the day, or on an outing with family members, we have exciting programs that allow all to reap the benefits of the camaraderie that team competition engenders.                                

5.   Real Wheel-to-Wheel Racing: You will live it all – Cheering on your teammates; checking the live timing and scoring; planning the racing tactics; exciting pit-stops; and the excitement just won’t stop. You’re no longer just a spectator; you’re testing yourself in the thick of the competition.  Adding to competition, each race has 5 classes you and your team choose to compete in: Super Rookie, Rookie, Pro, 40+, and Big Boy.  Awards give to top 3 finishing teams in each class.
