Spring Mountain Karting Complex Race Series

After an absence of nearly 20 years, karting has officially returned to Pahrump.

Spring Mountain Karting Complex (SMK) launched its inaugural SMK Race Series with an action-packed opening weekend on Sept. 21, featuring 47 racers across ten competitive classes.

The first of four races showcased thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing and an undeniable passion for karting in Southern Nevada.

“The first race of the season was an incredible success,” said Thomas Lovelady, director of Spring Mountain Karting Complex. “From kids giving it everything they had in every corner to seasoned racers battling for the lead, the weekend was proof that karting is alive and thriving in Southern Nevada. We look forward to continuing the excitement with the next three races in the months ahead.”

The 7.3 acre complex located at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch features three unique varying size tracks built to FIA specifications for regional and national racing including the 1.12 miles SMK Full Track, the 0.73 mile SMK North Track and the smaller 0.46 mile SMK South Track suited for rental karts and schools.

The second race of the series is set to take place on Oct. 19 on SMK’s .73-mile North Clockwise configuration.

The event is open to the public, with no membership required to participate.

Registration is available at www.springmountainkarting.com/booking for $300 and includes Saturday practice and Sunday racing.

The registration period will close Friday, October 17, and limited spots are available.
