Jackson Speedway in Michigan has a dirt oval and a cement road course. Its kart program is class racing for people who bring their own karts, with engine and tire rules set by class. It also hosts sprint cars and drift events. It is not a walk-up rental track, though it has run occasional arrive-and-drive kart events in the past, so check with the track about what is coming up.
Jackson Speedway is amazing. The owner is super nice and down to earth. I go there every year for a drift event held by mid Michigan drift club you can find them on Facebook MMDC. Excellent event for any beginner drifter that wants to grow and expand their skillet. The people that put on this event will literally drive in the car with you and give you pointers as you ride.
When they host a drift car event, it is well supported and run harmoniously with the track owners and the drift club. They put on family friendly events and it's definitely worth checking out.
I race dirt oval karts here and im the 3N in the box stock predator class and i have an orange body with a chevy monte carlo decal on the front i love the Michigan dirt its awesome i won my first feature here and im so happy that i won, only thing is i wish they would have more kart racers here the karting program seems to be getting less and less racers we need more dirt oval kart racers at Jackson.
Have been going to drift events held here. The course is tight and more technical, which puts emphasis on driving with skill and precision. The downside is that the pit area can get dusty or muddy, but that is a small downside to having such an accessible track that is close to anything else you might need for a track day, fuel, tools, part stores and food all minutes away.
Jackson Speedway is a bring-your-own-kart racing venue in Michigan, for competitors who run their own karts rather than an arrive-and-drive rental track.
If you race karts in Michigan and are looking for track time or competition, Jackson Speedway is one to know. It is not set up for casual walk-up rentals — you bring your own equipment.
