PVIK endurance racing series

Youth Iron Man race

For junior drivers who love racing and find a regular session far too short. Long runs, real strategy, and a kart they have to manage for a hundred laps or more.

Race rules

How the race is run

Read these before signing up. Track officials have the final call on every one of them.

First to finish ends the race

The first driver to complete all the laps ends the race for everyone.

Ages 8 to 12, size dependent

Drivers race in a junior kart. A junior who races in adult karts signs up for the Adult Iron Man instead.

Karts and grid are drawn

Kart selection is a random draw, and kart numbers set the starting order. A coin flip decides whether the grid runs low to high or high to low.

Standing start, single file

The race starts single file, bumper to bumper. A caution before the first lap is complete means we re-grid to the original starting order.

Cautions cost positions

Both drivers in a caution go to the back of their lap, spun driver ahead of the driver who caused it. Three cautions costs a lap. A fourth is a black flag for the race.

No aggressive passing

Some contact is expected in indoor karting, but aggressive passing moves are not allowed. Officials can order a position handed back for an illegal pass.

No retaliation

Retaliation is an immediate black flag for the race. The point is to have fun.

Spectators welcome

Bring people to watch, and call us during normal track hours with any questions.

Other endurance options
