New also this year will be the arrive & drive series 2007 Canadian Rookie Karting Championship. This affordable arrive & drive series is by far the easiest way to get involved in real racing, without the expenses involved in owning your own kart or car. Best of all, this series is sanctioned by ASN, meaning that it is a honest to goodness championship series.

For more information on the Rookie series, visit the home site and then visit one of the open house events. Due to winter weather conditions at the track, the first two Open House’s will be at Hamilton on March 10-11 and March 17-18. The official event will be hosted at Mosport on March 31, April 1.

See you there!
