New Mexico operates a single go-kart facility in Ruidoso, serving the state's sole major racing venue. One outdoor, petrol-powered track reflects New Mexico's traditional racing culture and mountainous terrain.

Mountain terrain creates spectacular scenic backdrop for racing activities. Remote location means visitors traveling significant distances to reach the facility. New Mexico's sparse population means track serves wide geographic area. Ruidoso's position as a recreational destination brings visitor traffic supplementing local racers. Future growth depends on population expansion and increased motorsports interest. Quality maintenance of existing facility ensures continued operations. New Mexico's racing community remains welcoming to newcomers discovering the sport. Unique high-altitude racing experience distinguishes New Mexico from lower-elevation states.
