Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@nekc.net if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What age do you need to be to drive?

There is no minimum age to drive one of our karts, but we do require that drivers be at least 54" tall and pass a basic safety course.

Where are you located?

We are located off of the Sokokis Road in Parsonsfield, Maine. We technically don't have a street address - follow the dirt road down about a half a mile to the "GO KART RACING, THIS WAY!" sign, and you'll run right into the track!

How much does it cost?

To race our go-karts in our Thursday and Saturday Night racing programs, it's $100. This includes the kart rental and safety gear.

What safety equipment is required to drive a go-kart?

All drivers are required to wear a helmet and neck brace, which we provide. We also require closed-toe shoes and strongly recommend jeans and a long-sleeve shirt.

What is the maximum speed of the go-karts?

Our go-karts can reach speeds up to 40 mph, but we have speed limiters in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all drivers.

I don't want to race, but I'd like to drive the karts. Can I do that?

Of course! We have open lapping sessions pretty much every Saturday, and we also have a Rookie Division in both our Thursday and Saturday programs. These are open lapping sessions that allow you to drive at your own pace.

Open lapping sessions are $30 per 10-minute session and include the kart and safety gear.

When are you guys open?

We are open seasonally from May to October. Our Thursday Night Thunder racing series begins on May 28th and ends on September 17th. Saturday Night Special begins on May 2nd and ends on September 26th. We also have six themed fun races on Saturdays! Check out the Schedule link below for more information.
