From a press release issued by BeaverRun:

In addition to being a superb testing and competition course for cars and motorcycles, the track is the centerpiece of the new BeaveRun Karting Center. The BeaveRun Karting Center, built to CIK specifications and designed to be one of the top three karting facilities in the country, offers competition choices for every skill level–read on for complete details. It is the first of two tracks to open this summer at BeaveRun–the 400-acre multi-use facility’s 1.6 mile road course is scheduled to be completed within two weeks. Stay tuned for more BeaveRun news–or call us if we can help you with additional information right now.


BeaveRun Karting Center Challenges Pro Racers, Entertains Driving Enthusiasts of All Ages

Designed to be one of the top three karting facilities in the country, BeaveRun’s new karting center offers competition choices for every skill level

BeaveRun MotorSports ComPlex, the country’s newest destination for driving and motorsports enthusiasts, has opened the BeaveRun Karting Center, one of the country’s premier karting facilities. The all-new complex features two separate, adjacent tracks, complete novice to advanced karting instruction, equipment and parts sales and a new fleet of Trackmagic rental karts. BeaveRun Karting Center is one of only three karting tracks in the United States to meet the stringent specifications of Commission International du Karting (CIK), the sport’s global sanctioning organization.

Master track designer Alan Wilson, who has developed some of the country’s best-known road courses and infields, has optimized the rolling western Pennsylvania landscape to the fullest. Wilson, whose current international projects also include a Formula One course in Bejing, China, has created a challenging 16-turn 8/10-mile short track with a series of moderate elevation changes—a rarity among the nation’s kart tracks. The short track is located adjacent to the first of two BeaveRun road courses, the 1.6 mile North Course. Because of its multi-track layout, the BeaveRun Karting Center offers the potential to run a road racing and sprint event at the same time, independent from one another. The two tracks can also be configured into one high-performance karting circuit.

Karting amateurs and experts alike will discover an unmatched diversity of racing and recreational options at the BeaveRun Karting Center, as well as additional activities for every skill level, interest range and age group. “With sports car and motorcycle racing, product testing and driving schools all happening simultaneously at BeaveRun, we have the great opportunity to offer our Karting Center customers a truly adrenaline-charged environment,” said Don Jones, manager, BeaveRun Karting Center. “And, we have the unique chance to showcase our sport to tens of thousands of new driving enthusiasts who are visiting the track to participate in these other activities.” Jones also said that karting is an exceptional spectator sport and pointed out that panoramic spectator areas around the track allow for a virtual bird’s-eye view of the entire karting track layout.


BeaveRun On Track To Become Newest Kart Racing Proving Ground
With nearly 90 percent of all professional drivers graduating from kart racing, world-class tracks like BeaveRun are an important proving and training ground for tomorrow’s pro racers. A successful stint in shifter kart racing is virtually a prerequisite for getting noticed by Winston Cup, CART and IRL feeder series, according to Jones. “For anyone who’s serious about a career in professional racing, honing precision driving skills on a CIK-caliber track like BeaveRun is part of the preparation program.” The BeaveRun Karting Center will feature national races during the 2003 season. For the remainder of 2002, said Jones, local and regional competitions, as well as ongoing karting schools, round out the schedule.

“For 2003, we are committed to attracting the finest national racing, such as the SCCA/WKA Constructors series, SKUSA and CART Stars of Tomorrow,” said Jones. “We have one of the very best karting facilities in the country, and we plan on developing BeaveRun into an internationally recognized center for karting excellence.”


First Time Drivers Find Plenty of Inspiration
Newcomers to karting will discover complete “arrive and drive” services at the BeaveRun Karting Center. The track’s resident instruction pros, as well as an all-new fleet of Trackmagic sprint rental karts, make BeaveRun an excellent facility for learning to enjoy the sport of karting.
