The Blue Max Kart Club is one of the oldest go-kart clubs in Northern California. Nearing the end of it's fourth decade, the club hosts 10 club races a year, with a visit from the International Karting Federation Region 11 racers and the Vintage Karts Association. Lap times around the half-mile track range from 35 seconds in TaGs (Touch and Gos) to 50 seconds for the kid karts. The fastest classes hit nearly 60 mph down the back straightaway, an impressive speed for the short, narrow track. The annual membership cost is $250. Blue Max Kart Club members meet the 1st Wednesday of every month at Round Table Pizza at 7pm.

Over the past year and a half, the club has worked extremely hard to improve the appearance of the club. New bleachers and paddock area highlight the old facilities. The track pavement is old and rough but separates the best racers.

Go-karting is a fun, family-friendly sport. Everyone should get involved. It might not be the cheapest sport around, but it is certainly the most "bang-for-the-buck."

2008-03-17 13:00:25 The noise pollution season is back. I find it very ironic that your web site states "located far enough out to keep from offending neighbors with the sound of kart motors." That is completely untrue. I live at least 1/2 a mile away in the city limits of Davis and all those loud engines come in loud and clear in my backyard. I feel sorry for all the people who live closer to you in Wildhorse. Enjoy your fun at the expense of others. —kelly08

2008-03-18 01:30:55 Kelly, I have been a member of the club for 3 years. The Blue Max Kart Club was way out in the boonies when it was formed, but due to population growth, houses have crept up closer to the track. It is no fault of the club that greedy developers and eager homeowners decided to put Wildhorse where it is. The club in no way should be forced out. It has established its spot in Davis. And it just so happens that this past weekend was the regional weekend where more than 400 people came to Davis for the race. That generates plenty of business in the town. —DAgee

2008-04-16 15:58:04 The track was built during the same time. Plus, do you complain about noisy and loud school children? They can make even more noise than the go-kart track and that is everyday. The go-kart noise is only a weekend thing. —DAgee
