Karting with Formula Dreams
Formula Dreams Racing was formed when neighborhood children started to show an interest in Formula 1 racing. Soon our families were on the hunt for Kid Karts for all of our kiddos. What we did not realize, during those early days, was how this sport would draw us closer together with our kids, neighbors, and other teams, ultimately building an extended family at the track.
When your child starts karting, you should expect to be wheeled into the extended karting family. You and your child will begin to understand the “car values” and will be “auto-ly delighted” in many karting teams good sportsmanship.
