Lots of Rental Kart Racing this fall, starting Saturday‏

KENT, Wash. — (Sept. 19, 2011) The leaves are starting to fall and skies are back to gray, but that just means it’s time for more racing at PGP!

We know you’re saving up for Christmas shopping, too, so we’re offering up the most bang for your buck: Rental Kart racing!



We’ve got two different types for you to choose from: Rental Kart League Racing (RKLR) and Rental Endurance Racing. RKLR begins this Saturday and Rental Enduro begins on Saturday, Oct. 1.




Rental Kart racing at PGP is perfect for newcomers and experienced karters alike. You show up (and are 15 or older) and we provide the rest: kart, fuel, tires, helmet and rain gear if conditions warrant.



All Rental Kart series events are rain or shine, too, and once you’ve experienced the thrill of racing in the rain you’ll be looking forward to those gray skies! We’ll also be offering different track configurations so you’ll get the full PGP racing experience.



Rental Kart League Racing returns this Saturday, Sept. 24 and continues every other Saturday morning until New Years Eve.



In RKLR events there are two classes, Expert and Novice, and weights will be equalized to insure fair performance for different-sized racers. During each RKLR event you’ll get four on-track sessions —practice, qualifying, Pre-Final and Final — and there are no maximum number of drivers. The fee for a single event is $85 for members but why not buy a discounted season pass for $500 for all eight events? (that’s just $62.50 per event or a savings of $180!).



The eight race dates are Sept. 24, Oct. 8, Oct. 22, Nov. 5, Nov. 19, Dec. 3, Dec. 17 and Dec. 31 (what a way to ring in the New Year!). Please note there will be no rental kart classes offered during the Stars of PGP Karting Series this fall.



Rental Endurance Racing returns to PGP on Oct. 1. For Rental Endurance events grab up to two friends to take on the field in the Team class or run on your own in the Ironman(woman) class. Each endurance event includes one practice session and two competitive racing sessions: one for 30 minutes and one for 60 minutes.



Cost is $50 for each person in a three-driver team, $75 per person for a two-driver team and $125 for the Ironman (woman). This is member pricing. There are six Rental Endurance events scheduled: Oct. 1, Oct. 15, Oct. 29, Nov. 12, Nov. 26 and Dec. 10.



Run all rental kart events this fall or take part in select dates for either the Rental Kart League Racing or Rental Endurance Racing — either way you’ll have more fun than the law should allow.
