Dacosa Speedway is a
paved, highly banked tri-oval. It has 16 degrees of
banking in the turns and 6 degrees of banking on the
backstretch and tri-oval. The track is 30 feet wide in
the straights
and 1138 feet long in the center of the track.
In the turns, the track is 40 feet wide. Measuring at just over 1/5 of a mile, but just short of 1/4
of a mile, Dacosa Speedway offers pavement racing that you
cannot find anywhere else, except at NASCAR tracks such as
Talladega Superspeedway and Daytona International Speedway.
People have said
that if you close your eyes at the start of a race, you
practically feel like you are watching a NASCAR race first
hand. You can hear the engines get up to full song,
but it takes about a lap to get the karts completely up to
speed.
The track plays host
to kart racing year round. Karts race twice per
month, almost every month, here at Dacosa Speedway. We also host a number
of big events throughout the year. The track does have
lights for night-time racing. We have also installed
"soft-walls" in critical areas of the fence to provide
safety to all competitors. |
