How It Started: Karting With My Son Led to a New Chapter • St.Cyr Racing

I didn't set out to build an academy. I set out to spend weekends with my son. We started making the drive from Las Vegas to Spring Mountain Motorports Resort - Karting Complex in Pahrump, Nevada—and somewhere between the highway and the track, everything shifted. I went from standing at the fence to kneeling beside the kart. From watching to helping. From parent to pit crew. I didn't see it coming. Neither did he. We were just trying to do something together. That's how it started.

Helping with gear, setup, and mindset. It's where it all began. Youth karting Las Vegas, junior racing Nevada, karting academy near Henderson.

Those early sessions weren't really about lap times. They were about showing up. Tuning the kart. Adjusting the seat. Watching him grow—and realizing I didn't want to be anywhere else. My spouse felt it too. We started asking: what if more families from Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, and the valley could have this? Not just a hobby. A path. Karting lessons for kids. Real coaching. A place where you don't have to become a mechanic to be part of the journey. We wanted to build that. So we did.

St.Cyr Racing Academy exists because of that drive. Because of those weekends. Because we didn't want to keep it to ourselves. It's for parents who want to be in the sport with their kids—not on the sidelines, but in the pit, in the journey.
