NTK Featured on Best of Texas
Be sure to check out this article Karting, Not for the Feint of Heart featured on the Best of Texas website. The article chronicles the experience of a recent MJDrive Superkart Challenge graduate at our newly repaved track. Read the experience of driving a 125cc stock shifter kart from the viewpoint of a rookie that has never driven a shifter kart before. Then jump into the driver seat with him and watch the video as he takes a few laps. There is also a video with driving instructor Michael Johnson aboard to show you how it should be done. Enjoy! Maxwell Paper Products #2 Race Results
Once again the weather was cold for the second round of the Maxwell Paper Product winter series at NTK with temperatures barely creeping above freezing for just a few hours and snow flurries early in tha day. However the action was Hot on the track with 44 drivers battling for points. Once again the Kid Karts, Jr Super Sportsman & Sr Super Sportsman were the largest classes with quite a few Rotax racers joining in the competition also.
The points are close in many classes and it is anyone's guess who will take home the big checks at the end of the series!
A big "Thank You" to all the workers who also braved the weather and made the race possible!
