OVKA will be hosting an Opening Day Test & Tune Event at the freshly repaved G&J Kartway on SATURDAY March 2nd. We will kick off the day with an open track walk, followed by Ceremonial First Laps for Gary and the Gregg Family, followed by a Structured Practice Day from 10-4 to give everyone safe and useful track time on the new surface.

The event will be $25/entry and the tentative format for the day is shown here. Run groups & session duration may be updated depending on turnout for the event, and the event date & schedule are subject to change due to weather. We will keep everyone updated as the day approaches. We hope to see you out to celebrate the new track surface!

TRACK UPDATE: After some scheduling delays, we have broken ground on installation of modern FIA curbing at G&J Kartway, with concrete work beginning this week. Unfortunately, this effort will require us to postpone our planned Opening Day Event. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we work to bring these exciting updates to this historic facility. We will tentatively set our new Opening Day date for Saturday, March 30, to give the new concrete time to cure and finish grading and sodding the track edges where they meet the new surface levels.

ATTENTION OVKA MEMBERS:

G&J Kartway crews have been hard at work cutting out the legacy turtles and pouring new, modern apex and runoff curbing around the facility. They will continue to work next week to be ready for the 2024 OVKA Season. That being said, we do not believe that the new concrete will be 100% ready on our March 30th opening day as we had hoped.

Instead, on March 30th we will be transitioning our Opening Day Event to our annual Clean-Up Day. We welcome all OVKA members and friends out to the track to help position crash bags, garbage cans, and help get get the rest of the track ready for the 2024 season. This will be a great help to G&J Kartway be ready for reopening. We will meet at 10am and lunch will be provided for all volunteers.

Thanks for following along with us in the off-season and we can't wait to celebrate our 60th Anniversary Season with you!

Please contact Aaron Banfield or Elliot Bokeno with any questions.
