DRIVING & RACING SCHOOLS

CalSpeed Karting offers racing schools for all levels of karter, from complete novice to seasoned professional.

While other karting schools are heavy on the classroom instruction, CalSpeed Karting feels that the hands-on approach is best. Our schools feature multiple driving sessions with a curriculum designed to teach you how to extract the most speed from our racing karts.
