.:: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is
karting safe? Yes, karting is very
safe and we place a lot of emphasis on teaching
proper safety techniques and accident avoidance
procedures. Moran Raceway also provides the best
prepared
racing karts in the country. Accidents are
extremely rare and Moran Raceway is one of
only a few tracks in the entire country built
to meet CIK/FIA specs and safety guidelines.
This means that all of our safety run-off areas,
curbs, fencing, and barriers are designed for
maximum safety. Our staff is extremely qualified
in instruction and kart preparation. All kid karts
are restricted in horsepower and extra attention
is spent making sure that all "Jr." students
are well supervised and trained. Each participant
is covered with insurance after signing a waiver.
Moran Raceway is proud to have never had any injury
in any of our driving programs. What days are racing schools conducted? We offer racing schools
3 days a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays
year round. Most of our racing schools are
1/2 day programs from 9am to 1pm. We also conduct
our corporate events, group
parties and kart rentals on these same days
and times. Availability for each driving program
is strictly first come,
first serve. For larger parties, our racing
schools can be arranged on any day of the week
and all day long. Are there age or size requirements? We offer classes for
students starting at age 5 and all other ages,
genders, and backgrounds are welcomed. Persons
over 275 lbs or 6'6" in height may not
fit in a kart. Are there classes for kids and do these classes run in conjunction with adult classes? Yes we have cadet
karts (generally used for 8-12 years old) and
kid karts (generally used for 5-7 years old)
which have reduced horsepower and smaller chassis
which help kids to
feel comfortable and have a fun time. All kids
(12 years old and under) will attend the
classroom session with the adults, then they
will be trained separately for brake/throttle
drills
and lead/follows. At the end of the class they
will get to run the full track with all of
the adult students. Moran Raceway provides
all students with Italian manufactured Top
Kart racing chassis equipped with 2 stroke
powered, 100cc HPV motors. These air cooled
motors put out
about 20 horsepower and don't require any shifting.
These karts are a world
championship winning brand which all come with
Tillet or Top-Kart padded seats. Our
karts are immaculately maintained and are set
up to fit drivers of all sizes.

What racing school courses do you offer? "Techniques of Karting" This is our most popular
course. This program is a half day program
(9am-l pm) that teaches the basic fundamentals
of karting in a fun and safe manner. This course
is very
comprehensive and it is great for the beginner
who has never driven a kart or for anybody
who wants to improve their skills at Moran
Raceway. The day will start off with a 40
minute classroom session where topics such
as racing line, handling, braking, and general
safety will be taught. Following class, there
will be a walk around the track with an experienced
instructor who will go into further detail
on turn in points, apexes, and inside secrets
of
success. Next will be lead & follow sessions
where each student will get a chance to
follow their instructor around the track at
speed in order to get a first hand view of
where
to go. After everybody is comfortable and ready
for more action, open lapping will begin
and our instructors will be supervising and
taking notes from the comers while working
1 on 1 with students in debriefs. Throughout
this half day program, Moran
Raceway will be closed down for our school
karts exclusively. "Advanced Techniques of Karting" This course
is designed for the graduate of our "Techniques
of Karting" class
or an experienced
karter who is looking to finely sharpen their
skills in various aspects. Participants exclusively
drive the entire one mile track during this
course. Advanced sessions are normally "one
on one"
and each driver can expect to be under the "microscope" of
their advanced racing instructor.
Each program is tailored to the driver or group
depending on each individual's needs and
background. More emphasis is placed on speed,
precision, and consistency with less emphasis
on basic driving techniques. Approximately
50 laps will be completed in this course.
What is the daily time schedule? "Techniques of Karting" "Advanced
Techniques of Karting" How many laps are completed throughout the day in a school? About 40 laps or more depending on the size and efficiency of each group. Most participants are "used up" by the end of the school. We provide everything
in terms of karts, safety gear & apparel,
and staff. All you need
to bring is a pair of tennis shoes. No open
toe shoes or sandals of any type are permitted.
Keep in mind that winters are a bit colder
in our region so bring a sweatshirt or jacket.
Sun block is a good idea for summer time.

vending machines. Do you offer photography or video? Yes, photography and
video packages are available for all corporate,
group, and racing school events. Prior notice

the better. Availability fluctuates for many
different reasons, however 1-2 weeks notice

methods and corner locations and speeds prior
to driving.
