10/18/25 – Pittsburgh Cars ‘N’ Coffee Kart Enduro
BREAKING NEWS: As of October 1st, it has been announced that Pitt Race will be closing permanently and ceasing all motorsports activity in November. Our event is confirmed to be taking place but this will likely be your last chance to drive go karts competitively on a world-class circuit in Pittsburgh!
On Saturday, October 18th – after our morning meet at Generoasta Coffee – we will have the return of the Pittsburgh Cars ‘N’ Coffee KartEnduro at the Pitt Race Wilson Circuit. This is the 5th club karting enduro – but the first one that we’ve had since 2015! We will plan a drive up together from the morning meet around 11:30AM for those interested in joining. For the uninitiated, karting on the Wilson Circuit at Pitt Race is like nothing you’ve experienced before. This is nearly a mile-long sweeping course with elevation changes in 45 mph karts!
We will have a qualifying session before the endurance race with teams of three that are selected based on your track time. The karting manager will put together teams of three based on qualifying times – each team consists of a faster, slower, and “medium” driver. This keeps it very competitive and fun for everyone! You are unable to register as a team or choose your teammates. Individual awards will be given for qualifying times – to avoid any sandbagging– and team awards will be given out for the endurance race. The Enduro will last 60 minutes and each team will decide when to change drivers and how long each person will drive (All three team members must drive during the Enduro).
Also taking place at Pitt Race on the same day will be the GRIDLIFE Racing Finals in which you can check out their car show, drifting, time trials, or wheel-to-wheel racing following our karting race. Below you will find a link to register for the event as well as the full details. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions but don’t wait to register and secure your spot! Registration is scheduled to close on Friday, October 10th but we expect it will likely fill up before then.
