Kart racing in
schools has existed for over 30 years. NatSKA is a nationwide association
which holds race meetings run under strict regulations of the governing
body MSA (Motor Sports Association), throughout the country at many major race
tracks including, Three Sisters – Wigan, Rowrah – Lake District, Rye House
– Hertfordshire, Glan-y-Gors – North Wales.
Karting as a
school or youth group activity covers a wide range of educational,
academic, technological, social and sporting subjects. It provides a
tremendous stimulus to all concerned.
NatSKA
currently has 21 member teams and our national sprint championships (last
held at Llandow in 2008) frequently attracted over 190 kart entries. We
have 7 different classes of karts, from four stroke up to 70 M.P.H. two
stroke 100cc club racers. There is a class to suit all budgets and all
levels of ability. Some karts are totally school built, whilst others can
be bought commercially. Running costs are not high and NatSKA provides an
excellent path for students wishing to enter motor sports and all other
forms of automotive engineering. Students can join NatSKA at the age of 10
years, and can race to 31st August after they leave fulltime secondary
education.
Joining
is easy and only requires your school or youth group to become members
of NatSKA. Copies of the regulations and full joining details are
available, along with any further information you may require, by
contacting Andy Porter via email:

Now you do not
have to sit at home watching the F1 on TV. You can be part of something
just as exciting where you are really involved.
