I raced this past weekend (June 15) at Cherry Valley and I can't say enough about the track, the facilities, and the staff. The track itself is really fun, interesting, and challenging. The hairpin at the end of the long, fast front straight is like so many F1 courses; very quick...to slow motion; great over-taking spot going in. Esses, long sweeper, and a chicane. Fast, challenging, fun: pretty cool! Track facilities are nice and getting better. Nice paddock, starting grid, state of the art timing tower, fully equipped garage, and a great food concession. Best of all, though, is the staff. Joe and Jason have a lot of experience racing and tuning, and they are very willing to share their expertise to your advantage. Carol and Aunt Lou are very accommodating, handling registration, food and whatever else might come along. Stan and Frank on the pre-grid, starting line-up are great to work with. It was just a great all-round racing experience. If you're currently racing, or thinking of getting started (or have a youngster that's interested), definitely check out Cherry Valley. You will NOT be disappointed! Peter Hannen Buffalo, NY

joe and jason are dedicated racing go kart experts.
the insight i've learned about carborators and other things will help me with my racing this summer. they are willing to share technical info and other informative data to help anyone go faster.
why? because they love the sport of kart racing and want to see others do well too. i was there saturday and learned a lot about the fuel system and how it works.
i went back the next day and helped out around the track.
the track has been sitting idle for the past 2 or 3 years and much work is needed.
VOLUNTEERS TO HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
i passed up a day of motorcycle riding and fishing to give them a hand. they bought pizza for everyone there helping and couldn't thank us enough.
please offer you help in getting this track ready for the season. we will all benefit from it.
i look forward to racing at cherry valley this summer. and so should you.

I am relatively new to karting and have wanted to get into the sport, but couldn't find anyone or anyplace I could go to help get started.
Finally, I found you guys and you took the time to answer all my questions and put an entire package together tailored to my goals. I got a great kart, Mycron data acquisition, fitted seat, rain tires w/ rims, kart stand, starter, tire gauge, stop watch, driver's suit, gloves, helmet collar and simply everything I needed to go racing competitively. Everything that was promised, was delivered.
But the most important thing is all the help and assistance Joe and Jason provide from their decades of experience at the top levels of karting. They kindly answer all my questions and their coaching with the kart setup has been priceless. When something needs repair or tuning that is over my head, I can just drop my kart off at their shop that is equiped for any engine or chassis work.
I can't wait for practice to begin, so they can start tuning on my driving!
