The Ignite Road Racing Challenge introduces the popular spec Ignite program to the national road racing scene. The series travels to three exciting road courses in the United States: Daytona International Speedway, World Wide Technology Raceway, and Ozarks International Raceway. The series will serve as a way to experience the speed associated with competing on a purpose-built road course, all while using the same Ignite package they race every weekend.
There are 6 scored finals, 2 from each of the 3 rounds. A racer’s top 4 finishes will be counted towards the championship points. You are able to drop your lowest 2 finishes, or an event you might have missed. Disqualifications may not be dropped. Drivers must compete in at least 3 races to earn season-end awards. For a class to earn points, 3 karts minimum must start the race.
Optional Friday practice is offered at each round in accordance with the promoter’s weekend format. Friday practice fees are at the discretion of the promoter.
KG drop-down bumper brackets are NO LONGER REQUIRED for the Ignite Road Racing Challenge in 2025.
Race entry fees are at the discretion of each event’s promoter and are subject to vary from event to event.
