PreEntry for the Texas GP at Speedsportz Racing Park will begin at 10am CT on Friday, March 1, 2024. Entry will take place via our Registration Portal on RaceSelect.com. For those of you that are new and don’t already have an account, when USPKS registration goes live at 9am ET on Friday, you’ll be able to create an account and register in just a couple minutes by following the link below. The link will not be active until it opens Friday. If you already use RaceSelect, then your account information, including membership status, has already been transferred over. If you attempt to register and your membership is expired, it will automatically add a renewal to your order. RaceSelect has been designed for karting from the ground up by karters, and is very easy and intuitive to use. If you have any difficulty registering, please contact tech support at info@raceselect.com or USPKS at tim@uspks.com and we will help you.

New for 2024: USPKS will begin utilizing a text message communication tool at the events.
