See you at the track! 🔥

Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, this weekend’s SSKC race day at WF Botkin Raceway has been cancelled. 🌧️

While we know everyone was excited to get back on track, the weather has made it necessary to postpone the event.

A new date will be announced as soon as possible. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work through scheduling.

Thank you to all of our members, volunteers, families, and supporters for continuing to support grassroots karting in Saskatchewan. 👊

Stay tuned to our social channels for future updates.
