KART NATION has moved into cars with their SRR Driver Development program with 4 drivers starting to experience car racing this year in the NASA (National Auto Sport Association) Spec Miata Challenge.  KART NATION’s Stuart Robinson said, “Developing a cost efficient ladder program has been my goal for awhile.  We are training our drivers to be competitive at a national level in Karting and, when old enough (14), helping them with their first experience in cars. Our Racers are well prepared with lots of training and track time. Based on our feedback from the NASA Officials It is working out quit well and personally I am very pleased with it.”
