MGK Handbook Revised 2023
RACING:
Memorial Go Kart Inc. (MGK) racing takes place June through August on select Wednesday nights at Slinger Super Speedway in Slinger, WI. The small tri-oval shaped MGK go kart track is located inside the World’s Fastest 1/4 Mile Oval!
MGK racing is ENTRY LEVEL go karting with a TEAM approach. Our program is perfect for youth/parents with no prior racing exposure or experience! Some youth can join existing teams if spots are available and others can try to get an MGK kart of their own.
MGK Racing allows multiple racers (age 7-18) to race the same kart in one of 7 different divisions.
DIVISIONS:
MGK offers 7 divisions for a wide range of ages. Progression through divisions is based on both age and skill. Drivers must meet the minimum age requirement and/or demonstrate the ability to safely complete the previous level.
Purple minimum age 7
Yellow minimum age 7
Orange minimum age 8
Red minimum age 10
White minimum age 12
Blue minimum age 14
Green minimum age 16
KARTS:
MGK Karts are custom-built to specific MGK-approved designs, ensuring all karts have equal performance and safety features. Karts may be owned by local businesses, organizations, or private individuals. Each kart is equipped with a roll bar, racing seat, and a unique safety harness system, distinguishing MGK karts from those used in other go-kart racing formats.
All kart parts must be purchased through MGK to ensure they meet safety standards set by the Kart Committee. The Committee actively reviews and approves new parts, always welcoming suggestions for improvements. If you have questions or suggestions about kart parts, please contact the Kart Committee directly.
MGK maintains ownership of all race engines, providing them to teams upon their arrival at the track. Installing these engines is part of our youth development program, aimed at fostering teamwork and teaching valuable mechanical skills.
The engines used in MGK racing are 6-horsepower Briggs & Stratton 13 Series, 208cc engines, rated at 9.5 ft-lbs of torque. Teams rent these engines at a cost of \$100 per racing season, which covers all necessary fuel and engine maintenance. This rental fee, along with pit passes and any additional kart parts, constitutes the primary expenses for participants in the MGK racing program.
How to race with MGK:
Racers age 7-18 can contact us to try and find a team or, if available, purchase a kart to start a team of their own. Karts come up for sale from time to time. New karts are built by Weld-Fab in Slinger and can purchased upon request through MGK. If you are looking to join a team or possibly purchase a kart please send us a message HERE. There is a waiting list for racers to join existing teams, but we do our best to get kids into karts!
Racers need an approved racing helmet and neck brace (see handbook), driving or mechanics gloves, long pants, long socks and a long sleeved shirt to race. Just pay for a $15 pit pass and go racing.
