Unfortunate…
Our plans for Kart Kanyon are going to have to wait and we will see where we will be racing next.
💔 LEX HAWK CLASSIC POSTPONED 💔
Well… this is not the announcement we wanted to make.
Due to the City of Aztec moving into a Stage 3 water shortage, the Lex Hawk Classic scheduled for September 5–6 must be postponed.
Kart Kanyon receives its track-preparation water through a bulk-water account, and the new restrictions prevent us from obtaining the water necessary to safely prepare and maintain the track for a two-day event.
We are currently exploring other alternatives, but that all takes time.
The Lex Hawk Classic is postponed—not canceled. We will work to reschedule it as soon as conditions allow and announce a new date once we know we can safely and responsibly hold the event.
We know how many racers, families and fans were looking forward to this weekend. We were too. This was not an easy decision, but we’re doing everything possible to preserve the remainder of our 2026 racing season.
Now we need everyone to do a little rain dance and hope Mother Nature sends some much-needed moisture to Aztec and the surrounding area. 🌧️🙏
Thank you for understanding and continuing to support Kart Kanyon Speedway. We’ll keep everyone updated as soon as we know more. 🏁

Pretty unfortunate heat race…
Ended up starting 3rd due to a car not starting and got a good jump off the start. I made some crucial errors not shifting on the start and setting up my front axle wrong led to me spinning out. Starting 12th in the main for 15 laps. Lets see what we can do…
