About this event
Please join Tarheel Sports Car Club for a fun and competitive day of Grand Prix Karting on October 26th, 2025 at VIR Karting! The VIR Kart Track is a state-of-the-art 5/8 mile, 24-foot-wide paved circuit right in the heart of Southern Virginia, with karts that run ungoverned Honda GX 270cc motors capable of speeds in excess of 50 mph! We'll have the track for upwards of 2 hours to complete practice and qualifying for a one-hour enduro race that will be undertaken by 12 groups of 3! Bring your friends, make a team, bring home the silverware!
