| Portland Karting Association Adding Turns and New Configurations to MAC Track |
| |
 | | McMinnville Kart Track upgrades |
Portland Karting Association will be closing the MAC Track on August 6th to start construction that will add 2 turns to the highly popular track which will provide more opportunity for passing and also allow for additional track configurations. Also, PKA will be repairing some rough areas and repaving areas to bring the track up to PKA and our racer's expectations.
The construction project plan is to have the new asphalt laid down by Friday August 10th with a minimum cure time of 4-6 weeks. The first race on the new pavement at this time is planned to be the September 15th Saturday Night Oregon State Karting Championship Series Race followed by the Big Butt Invitational on Sunday September 16th
The PKA Board of Directors has been in the planning reconstruction process for over 3 years. With the recent signing of our Lease renewal with the Yamhill County Fairgrounds the opportunity to repair and make additions to the track has become a reality.
The weather in August traditionally is sunny and clear and should us a good solid week of ideal conditions for the construction project. The construction crew is ready and the asphalt company has a window open for the special kart track mix. So its full speed ahead on the improvement plans.
PKA has hosted numerous successful IKF regional and Grand National events at the MAC Track and have been awarded to host the 2013 IKF 4 Cycle Sprint Grand Nationals on the new MAC Track configuration. For more information updates and progress please go to http://www.portlandkarting.com |
