<snip really good information about tracks in Florida>

With a ".es" at the end of the e-mail address I doubt that they are
anywhere near Florida. But I can't figure out why someone in Spain
would be interested in Florida karting. CW

Hope these help, you wanted some info about sprint
tracks in CA. Wasn't able to check out where Orange
county was so this is the best I could do.

How about tracks in New England? I'd really appreciate it if
you could point me in the right direction although I am
interested in the Enduro style that's the long tracks correct?
Although cost is a factor, and could I do it all myself?
Ie: Just me in the pit and racing the kart?
Thanks in advance...

How about New Hampshire International Speedway?

1 mile 'round oval.

Located in Loudon, New Hampshire, right in between Concord and Laconia.
In the vicinity of Exit 15 on Interstate 93 Northbound.

I think they run 2 cycles there, possibly Enduro. I definitely know they
run some 4 cycle divisions there.

If they don't have any Enduros there, I don't know who does...

Yep, they do have Enduros there. Only 5 races a year but it's
a lot of track time. I'd like to find a club in my area tho.
Thanks for the reply.

I'd ideally like a club in Massachusetts or New Hampshire
so that I could learn about what I am interested in without
having to bug the WKA bigshots and/or builders who are
very busy. I know other drivers are busy as well but, it's
really a tough hobby to get started in and I'm not surprised
that it's growth is slow. It has a steep learning curve and
most people that I have talked to seem very opinionated
towards what they like. Plus no one has the time and
other information is scare at best. I know it sounds like
I'm bitching but I've heard this from other people who
were/are interested and some have given up on it.
I guess the problem is mainly in New England since
we don't have as much as the warmer climate states.
Sorry for the Rant...

Check out this info and see if it helps. You will have to call the
tracks with promoters to find out what clubs race there. Per the
National Speedway Directory, they race karts at these tracks.

Good Luck in your pursuit.

Thanks, oh and my WKA Membership kit came today.
Still working on getting some financial sponsership.
I'd hate to only spend $1,500 on a Situp Enduro as
it wouldn't be very competitive.
