💥The 2026 FKS Banquet just got BIGGER!💥
🚨ATTENTION Junior Parents and FKS Banquet attendees on October 18th!🚨
As stated previously, the change of date for the 2026 Banquet has given us new opportunities. And those opportunities have grown yet again!
If you're 16+ with a valid drivers license, you can take part in the Banquet and Racing in the same day!
💥FOOD, AWARDS, FUN, AND.....RACING!🏁🏁
We've already announced the Return of the "Top Dog" race, wherein 16 drivers are going to race at Bushnell Motorsports Park for the "Top Dog" trophy. We are super excited to announce 2 more races. One for "The Crew" and the other is for the Parents of our junior drivers that are at the Banquet.
PARENTS of Junior Drivers (JuiceBox Division thru Jr3) here are the details;
Since we can only guarantee 16 karts, we will open "registration" up on the Florida Karting Series page with a post on September 21st at 7pm to the first 16 parents who "Register" by leaving a comment on that post that they're going to race. For example, John Smith, Dad of Jr1 driver Jake Smith. We will only allow for ONE parent of each driver during this first round. IF THERE'S MORE SPOTS AVAILABLE AFTER THE FIRST ROUND, WE WILL OPEN IT UP TO A SECOND PARENT TO FILL THE 16 KART FIELD. We will announce in advance if and when a second round opens up. This is for the parents of the following JuiceBox thru Jr3 drivers that are receiving awards at the Banquet (Please see FloridaKartingSeries.com for details). (For first round, if you have 2 children listed below, only one parent total please);

Mom and Dad, this is the time to show your child what to do, what you're made of! After all, you tell them all the time when they are messing up, don't tell them, show them how it's done! More importantly, show your fellow parents how good you really are!
"The Crew Race"
Is open to the first 16 entries that are going to be at the Banquet. Requirements; 16+ with a drivers license, attend the Banquet, and NOT be in the "Top Dog" race or Parents race. If not all spots are filled, then Parents or Top Dogs can enter in the second round. The Crew Race registration will open on September 28th at 7pm on FKS Facebook and the first 16 Banquet registered people can sign up.
