"Leagues are 5 weeks in length and alternate every other week."

does this mean it is $300 + 25 for three nights of racing?

What does "Your league will run for 5 consecutive weeks towards the championship, complete with trophies!" mean then?

Nope, I've never actually been. I never got a chance to head up there last year, but I'm definitely going to check it out this summer. If a few people are potentially interested, I'll give them a call and try to get some details.

It looks like they also have endurance events you can register a team for.

At the least I'd love to meet some people up there for a few arrive & drive days. They recently ran an ad in Sports Car, the SCCA magazine. They're doing $10 arrive & drive races for SCCA members.

I have ... long story .. in any case, I'd be interested if someone does the legwork, prices, when, what, where, etc.

I did a league there with a few people from work last summer. It is a lot of fun. Its great practice for driving. The carts are decently quick 13hp karts, but weigh about 265lb, so they could be a lot faster.

It was frusterating toward the end though, we got rained out 5 weeks in a row.

Good times though.

We are updating the league form at this time and I think this is where the conflict in information may be. Here is how the league works.

It is a 5-week league with the following format.

(1) 10-lap practice session
(3) 15-lap races

That is the format per week.

Under the perfect scenario, we can run leagues for 5 consecutive weeks. We run the leagues typically on Wednesdays and Thursdays. If we have an outing or other function scheduled on a Wednesday or Thursday at the time you schedule your league, we might need to skip a week in your league to the next week. We can firm up all league dates at the time a league is booked.

If it rains, we extend the league a week on the other end of the schedule.

Points are awarded for each race, each week. The person with the most points at the end of the league is awarded a trophy and crowned champion. We also award the person with the fastest lap during the league.

The cost of a league is $300 (plus a $25 fee for a 12-month membership). Just over a dollar a lap.
