Race to the Finish Line: The Thrill and Excitement of Go Kart Racing!

Info at Alley Cats

Go-karts were invented in the United States in the 1950s by Art Ingels, a race car fabricator who was looking for a way to introduce young people to motorsports. Ingels built the first go-kart in his garage in 1956, using a surplus West Bend 2-stroke engine and a simple steel frame.




The first go-kart race was held in 1957 in California, and soon after, go-karting became a popular pastime for people of all ages. In the 1960s, go-karts started to become more sophisticated, with better suspension systems and more powerful engines.


By the 1970s, go-kart racing had become a serious sport, with organized competitions and championships held around the world. The first international go-karting event was held in 1962, and the sport was included in the Pan American Games in 1979.


In the 1980s, go-karts became even more advanced, with the introduction of computer-designed frames and high-performance engines. Today, go-karting is a popular recreational activity, as well as a competitive sport with a large following around the world. There are many different types of go-kart racing, including sprint racing, endurance racing, and indoor karting.
