2018 90-Minute Karting Enduro

Do you have what it takes to run a 90-minute kart race? Our third outdoor karting event of the season will be a team endurance event.  Fifteen teams of 3 or 4 drivers will compete for outdoor bragging rights. There will be 7 mandatory pit stops, but their timing and the scheduling of driver changes is determined by each team. The objective is to run fast, run clean, and not get hung up in pit lane for too long.
Everything is bigger and faster at the X1 Outdoors track in East Bridgewater, MA.  We will be running our event on the Grand Prix Circuit which is nearly 1 mile long.  The karts are also more powerful and can reach speeds in excess of 50 mph.  While this may not seem fast in the luxurious confines of your “Ultimate Driving Machine”, sitting a couple of inches from the ground with no suspension, you’ll definitely become one with the kart – and those corners will come up on you really fast!
This is real wheel-to-wheel racing without the expense of maintaining your own club race car, and the g-forces exceed anything you’ll experience at a driving school or autocross.  These open-wheel racing karts offer a great way to learn about car control.  You can see exactly where the wheels are pointed, and then compare their location with what direction the kart actually ends up going.  Then, your next time around the track, you can alter your line and see how the kart responds to your new inputs.
Best of all, you need only arrive and drive – be 18 years old and have a valid drivers license  You can certainly bring your own full-face helmet or driving suit if you own them, but if you don’t, X1 Outdoors provides all the necessary equipment.  For safety sake, be sure to wear closed-toe shoes.
So plan to join the fun this Summer and Fall on the same track that professional kart racers drive in their shifter karts at speeds exceeding 100 mph.  If you wish to learn more about the X1 Outdoors facility, what they like to call the “gold standard of kart racing venues”, go to their website at X1outdoors.com.
