Along with the already mentioned affordable event registration, pre-event practice days and no membership fees, WKA is also offering a 10% discount for any item that is in the competitors shopping cart upon checkout. This could include pit space, race tires, rain tires, fuel, oil and more. Additionally, WKA is offering steep discounts for Kid Kart registration to help build the future of the sport of karting and get them out to the racetrack on a more regular basis.
