The Hot Laps Karting Center is now accepting reservations for its YOUTH RACING SCHOOL. The dates are available for the remainder of the summer. Each school is 2 hrs. in length and limited to 6 racers per school. Print a school reservation form to book your seat behind the wheel. We are not a 'text book' school where you spend half of your session in a classroom. We combine our educational process with hands-on experience.

This is a "real" racing school, geared toward the 'novice' or 'rookie' driver. The school is designed to introduce your child to the world of real kart racing. This is not a "text book" school. The kid's classroom is our race track at Sugar Hill Speedway.

We will show them the thrill of being behind the wheel while teaching them that racing isn't just jumping in the seat and mashing the gas pedal!

In a fun and educational program instructed by local championship racers, your child will not only learn how to wheel our karts around the road course, but how to adapt to different tracks, safe and smart racing techniques, kart dynamics and set-up, and most importantly, safety in racing.

Your child's safety is our NUMBER ONE priority. So, if you have any questions about the variety of safety measures we've implemented in this program, feel free to contact us.

The karts we use have been specifically designed for youth racers, complete with a 4-point safety harness and a roll bar. We provide all of the safety gear (helmet, racing suit, neck protector, etc.) for one of the most enjoyable days your kids will ever have on a race track.

Our youth racing school is available during April (Spring) vacation weeks, some Saturday mornings, and weekdays June through August.

Your kids will learn:

• How the karts work (Kart dynamics)
• Safe racing
• Passing techniques
• Racing strategies
• Racing procedures and rules
• Flagging

All youth participants receive a computerized printout of their race results for the day.
