From Parent to Coach: Why I Loved Helping With the Kart • St.Cyr Racing

Most parents think karting is about driving. They're not wrong—but for me, the magic was in everything that happens around the kart. Adjusting the seat, checking tire pressure, talking through a session, and watching him apply what we practiced. That's where I found my role. Not just as a parent in the stands, but as a coach beside the kart.

I started karting with my son and quickly realized I loved coaching and helping him with the kart. It wasn't just about lap times—it was about consistency, confidence, and the small breakthroughs that add up. Every weekend we drove from Las Vegas to Spring Mountain Motorports Resort - Karting Complex in Pahrump, Nevada. The drive gave us time to debrief. The pit gave us a place to work together. The track gave him a place to prove what he'd learned.
