This 43-acre complex got its start way back in the 1930s as a venue for outdoor concerts. In the 1950s it started hosting motorcycle racing, and today it hosts some of the largest go-kart races in the country.

Most go-kart tracks across the country are just blacktop on a vacant piece of land. Pat’s Acres is surrounded by Oregon beauty, with plenty of trees and grass. You can see it whiz by in a blur while you’re driving!

Die-hard go-kart drivers bring their own karts to practice and to participate in races. If you’d like to get serious about racing, take a lesson with a driving instructor.
