Kart racing is a non-contact sport and this cannot be emphasized strongly enough. We do not tolerate any bumping or blocking. If you are unable to pass a kart, this is no excuse for contact.

Bud is the one who came to us with the idea about starting a go-kart track. Him and Verna use to park along the road/alley and watch as our kids would race in the parking lot of our shop and though it would be cool to expand this to the community. He would always show up at the track and help with flagging, taking money, picking up stones, handing out flyers around Springfield and surrounding towns promoting the go-kart track. He was always there making sure Tim was grading and making sure the track was ready to go for the races. Him and Verna always stopped to watch the races every Friday & Saturday night. He will surely be missed by all.
