A KID KARTERS HANDBOOK         


J1 SPEED SERIES
     
   KidKarters.com and Williams-Motorsport.com are proud to announce it's sponsorship and support of the 2005 J1-SpeedSeries.    We have all felt for a long time that there should be two kid kart classes, a novice group for the beginners and an advanced group for the more experienced drivers.  This format would address several issues that currently cloud the kid kart class.  Founders Chuck Maranto & Anthony Levy have created a junior racing series that picks up where many of the sanctioning bodies leave off.  By offering two classes for the kid karts, running at a variety of tracks and a points system like other classes the J1-SpeedSeries has elevated the kid kart class to a new level.

   The Novice Class is an excellent place for the new comer to the sport to get his or her feet wet in motor sports.  The motors are stock and restrictors are used to keep the speed down and the environment safe.  And most important, the use of tech inspectors to ensure everyone follows the same rules, leaving little room for the "gray" area which the kid kart class is famous for having.    The AllStar class is for the more experienced driver, the restrictor is removed and a certain amount of modifications are allowed to the motor.  To compete in the AllStar class the driver must prove he or she has attained the necessary driving skills to compete in the more aggressive class.  Both classes are awarded points, the Novice receive participation points and the AllStars receive points for finishing position.

. Currently the J1-SpeedSeries runs in the mid west but they are actively working on getting a south east series and a California series going in 2005.  If your interested in getting your driver involved the J1-SpeedSeries or would like to have a J1-SpeedSeries event at your track you can visit J1Speed.com for all the details.  Our hats go off to Chuck Maranto & Anthony Levy for taking the initiative to create a more "realistic" and competitive environment for what are truly the foundation of motor sports...the kidkarters.
