Some great race day info and photos of the event have been posted on the Kansas City Karting Association website. OCT 2009 Track Layout This layout was fast with a few very challenging corners. The track ran in a COUNTER CLOCKWISE direction. Kid Karters used the novice track layout(in red) which was modified from the kid kart expert and other classes. Stay tuned for the new 2010 track layouts. Looking at the track diagram above you can see the planned road course expansion, it is labeled as "Future High Speed Track". If you use a little imagination looking at the overhead below you can see almost limitless configurations for up to almost one mile in length. A track like this will no doubt favor the tuners and drivers that are quick to adapt. No home track advantage here as the course will change for future races. DIRECTIONS: From I-70, take 291 North to 23rd Street, Turn Right on 23rd Street and go 2.6 miles Turn Right on City Sewer Road, you will see the track immediately on your left Note you can only find the overhead (below) and directions to the PDC using MapQuest or your GPS. The track is so new that it will not show up on Google Maps. The address is 21221 East 78 Highway, Independence, MO 64057.
