 | What is required to host an Indy Karting Series (IKS) event? The first
thing to do is secure a site, parking lots make great temporary race sites.
IKS events can be held on city streets, company parking lots, public school
parking lots, city parks or other paved areas. |
| How much manpower is required from your organization? Very little on race
day, IKS requires one contact person with decision making powers. Pre-Race
requires a little more. |
| How much can my club or organization make on an IKS event? This varies by
the type of program your group wishes to do. Most organizations can make $2000.00
and up. |
| When are IKS events held? IKS events are held on Saturdays and Sundays -
April thru October. |
| What are some of the IKS value added services? We offer our rental fleet
to your organization for corporate challenges and celebrity races. It has
been our experience that a good corporate challenge will raise more money
than the race fee percentage ( see our IKS
Corporate Link ). T-Shirt sales and marketing personnel are
other IKS value added services. |
| What happens if it rains? IKS events run rain or shine. |
| Do I charge the general public to watch? No, IKS encourages the public to
come out and watch. |
| How dangerous is karting? Like any sport, risk exists. IKS has a great
safety track record. IKS takes great care in laying out the race circuit to
provide a safe environment for both the racer and spectator. |
| What is used for protection and track design? In most cases, straw is used
to line out the track and provide protection for the racer. Your organization
is responsible for acquiring, placement, and the removal of the straw. IKS can
arrange for you to rent plastic barriers if straw is not available. |
| Who are some of the organizations you have worked with? The Indy Karting
Series has worked with service organizations like the Lions Clubs, and Rotary
Clubs, Athletic boosters from large and small school systems, Cities and towns
like Clinton, Lebanon, Linton and Mooresville Indiana, Park Boards, Charities like
the Diabetes Youth Foundation and Kids Racing For Kids. |
| Can a representative of IKS call on your group? Yes, IKS will be happy
to meet with you and your group at any time, e-mail us at Kevin@indykartingseries.com
to arrange a meeting. |
