From the Organizer
The Drive for 155 is a three-hour outdoor kart race to be held at Kart Circuit Autobahn in Joliet. In the interest of fairness, teams will be divided into 2-3 classes depending on their overall level of experience, and all teams will rotate karts throughout the race. This will allow everyone a shot at a podium spot and bragging rights.
By choosing to participate, you are also making the commitment to make your best effort to meet or exceed the minimum team fundraising goal of $5,000 (including the $1,000 entry fee). Make your fundraising goal high, as the amount raised determines your grid position!
Teams that achieve the $5,000 fundraising goal will be rewarded with:
-
A set of 4 extra shirts for their fans, if reached by June 26th
-
$50 food and beverage voucher at the Autobahn Cafe
