The WKA Gold Cup event that was scheduled to take place at Whiteland Raceway Park is now coming to NCMP the weekend of April 14th – 16th. This change is going to push KRA #2 back one week to April 23rd.

The weather has played a role, delaying the expansion taking place at WRP. That means the facility won’t be ready in time for the first round of the WKA Gold Cup.

Andy and Sarah with WRP, as well as WKA, have been great to work with over the years. So we wanted to do everything we could to make the change as seamless as possible for everyone involved.

With the amount of rain on the way not only the pit area will be affected but the retention pond may be too close to the track to be safe. We will make our decision by Friday morning and let everyone know the make-up date. Hopefully the forecast is wrong and we are able to race this weekend!

We will end practice at 5pm that day and begin our banquet at 6pm. There will be no meal offered this year and this will be very informal, but we want to make sure we get everyone the prizes and awards they worked so hard to earn. I know there may be issues with this date but if you speak with us at the track, we will do our best to make accommodations.

Secondly, we are happy to announce the addition of a 206 Super Heavy/206 Super Masters class! We will offer this as a combined class running together that will be scored separately.

The Super Masters will have a minimum age of 60 years old and a minimum weight of 380 lbs.

Obviously, this will come with a few restrictions. We are also watching the weather closely to determine if we will be able to do this comfortably. We will make our final decision on the weather by Friday afternoon.

As mentioned previously, we will be moving our registration table, parts sales, and food sales outside of the main building. All services will be available but will be handled by runners. There will be no customers inside the main building.

Unfortunately, we are not able to have the kid karts this weekend, but we will offer a KA Junior and KA Senior exhibition class.

We will also be spacing out the grid and pit spots to maintain distance from other racers as well as leaving additional time to scale so that 6’ can be maintained in the scale line.

This will be a STAND-ALONE, NON-POINTS event. We are in the process of redoing the 2020 NCMP schedule. It is not ready to publish just yet but the Dan Wheldon Memorial ProAm scheduled for next weekend has been postponed so we will move KRA #1 to May 3rd and that will be the official start of the KRA season. We will release the updated schedule in the coming days.

We do encourage those who are at greater risk to skip this event. If you attend this race, please bring the minimum number of people that you can race with. We also ask everyone in attendance to practice preventative actions.

- Stay home if you are sick - Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
- Maintain a minimum of 6’ from those around you at all times.
- Refrain from physical contact such as shaking hands or fist bumping

We are excited that we have gotten approval for this event and will be strictly enforcing the social distancing guidelines so that we are able to continue to race moving forward.

Just to reiterate, this will be a STAND-ALONE, NON-POINTS event and we encourage anyone who has reservations to skip this event

1/19/19 - New Castle Motorsports Park is happy to present our 2019 Race and Event Schedule! The KRA Series will run a 14 Race series again this season and NCMP will also host numerous Regional and National events in 2019. We look forward to another exciting and fun year of kart racing at NCMP!

The 2019 Kart Racers of America Series will have a couple class changes in 2019. KRA will have a combined but scored separate Mini Swift/Micro Swift class in 2019. To not add more classes and time to the race day, Yamaha Jr. Sportsman will go from 2 classes to 1 in 2019.

Also in 2019 the KRA Series will permit left hand drive Briggs engine karts in the Briggs LO206 Cadet class. With a season of watching the left hand drive karts race at many events outside of KRA, we have not seen an on track performance advantage with that engine location and are confident with the parity with either engine location.

We will update the KRA class page very soon with the new information as well as our preentry page.
