Homemade Go Karts
Speedway kart races range in length from 4 laps for a trophy dash, to 20 laps for a main event.
The two chief racing formats used in dirt speedway karting are heat races and timed laps qualification :
* The International Kart Federation (IKF) runs a racing format of two 10 laps heats followed by a 20 laps final. Finishing positions in the two heat races are used to calculate the starting position in the feature race.
* The World Karting Association (WKA) uses time qualifying. Karts equipped with transponders are sent out onto the track in groups of 5 or less to try to achieve the fastest lap time. Positions for the 20 laps feature event are determined by qualifying time.
