This is it. A bittersweet moment but we invite you to join us for the last laps at Lake Afton Park September 12-13, 2026.❤️

For 65 years, racers have come to this hidden gem in Kansas to do so much more than race go-karts.

We’ve chased checkered flags together. 🏁
We’ve celebrated wins, hung our heads and learned from our losses.
We’ve made lifelong friendships. 🙌🏼
We’ve watched kids grow up at this track — and then watched their kids take their turn behind the wheel. 🙃

Generations of families have walked these pits. Thousands upon thousands of laps have been made around this track. Stories have been created here that will be told for decades to come.

And now, we get one more chance to make one more memory!❤️

✨ Join us as we celebrate THE LAST LAP at Lake Afton Park! ✨

This race weekend isn’t just about racing.
It’s about celebrating 65 years of history.
It’s about seeing old friends and reminiscing on “remember when…” moments.

So, come make one final memory with us at the lake! 🥹🏁
