For 2008, a single karting Sprint Series has been established
in the Greater Portland Area. The “08 Oregon State
Championship Karting Series” has been organized by Portland
Karting Association and Pats Acres (PARC). The two organizations
will work together to promote one single series, as opposed
to each running their own series. This should dramatically increase
the size of the races held this coming year. With bigger and
better attended events, it becomes easier to promote and grow
the local karting scene. The result will be bigger classes and
better competition which is what most racers are looking for.
The dates for the Series can be found on our front page on the
right hand column or by selecting the “schedule” page.
In an effort to accommodate racers from both track, a membership
from either PKA or PARC will be honored for race entries and
Saturday practice days prior to a race.
The classes offered as championship classes (awards and jackets)
will be as follows:
Kid Kart
Jr I Animal Cadet
Tag Cadet (Gazzelle only)
Jr II IKF BRIGGS World Formula
TAG Junior
IKF BRIGGS World Formula Senior
TAG Senior
IKF BRIGGS World Formula Heavy
TAG Masters
Stock Moto S3/S4/S5 (Light/Heavy/Junior)
The Series will include the Regional GoldCup races held at
each facility. Championships will be decided by the best 10
of 12 results (two throw-aways). The series will run entirely
on Bridgestone YHC tires. Stay tuned for more details or contact
either PKA or PARC for questions. See ya at the track.
