Why is Kart racing great for the entire family?
Because everyone can race! Unlike football or soccer, the parents can’t get onto the field. BUT you can here! It’s a sport that everyone can play – Dads, Moms, and Kids.
Oakland Valley is all about families having a good time together. In the beginner ranks of go karting family’s rule! We have fathers and sons and fathers and daughters and mothers and sons as the crew chief and driver. Regardless of the team make up the rest of the family is at the track on race day cheering on their favorite team. There are a lot of jobs that family members must fill on the race team; crew chief, driving instructor, head race strategist, race car hauler driver, sandwich maker, team photographer, etc.
Go-karting will build or strengthen family bonds and build friendships that last a lifetime!
If you have an interest in motor sports and want to find common ground to spend that quality time, this sport is for you. We have several families participating at our track who have told us that until they found the sport of go-karting they didn’t have a family activity that involved everyone.
Go-karting offers good behavior incentives also!
In a perfect world, parents wouldn’t need any leverage to get their kids to do everything they are supposed to. Only certain special activities attract kids with such power that they make certain they don’t miss a single opportunity to participate. We at OVS aren’t suggesting that a ‘behave or you don’t go-kart’ standard should be adopted, but we have heard that it works very well!
