Spring Mountain • Unlimited track access Thurs–Sun • Kart provided + maintained
A calm, structured karting program for families who want real progression.
This is your kid’s seat in a consistent home kart — tuned and geared to their build — with a coach-led weekend routine. Your membership includes unlimited track access Thurs–Sun at SMK. We provide and maintain the kart, and we partner with trusted pit mechanics so parents aren’t the pit crew. Race weekends are optional, with add-ons only when you choose to compete.
Based at Spring Mountain Motorports Resort - Karting Complex in Pahrump, NV — a straightforward drive for families in Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, and North Las Vegas.
