This week marks Woodbridge Kart Club's biggest race of the year, the annual AKRA Karting Road Racing Nationals at Summit Point Motorsports Park's 2-mile Summit Point (Main) Circuit.
This is a special race for a number of reasons. WKCโs program has centered around racing at the Main Circuit dating back to the 1970s. In the heyday of road race karting in the 1980s, 1990s and into the 2000s, five to six WKC races a year were held at the Main Circuit, including one National every summer.
Times change, and while Summit Point remains home to WKC, we now race at the Shenandoah, Jefferson and Main circuits with one race at each circuit in 2026. The time for the Summit Point Nationals is just about here, and we have momentum with a very successful Regional held just two weeks ago at the Shenandoah Circuit that attracted nearly 200 race entries, which may be a record for WKC racing at Shenandoah.
With the quick turnaround, weโre looking forward to another big Nationals at Main this weekend, which is always our largest entry count of the year. The race serves as Round 4 of the AKRA / Hoosier Kartsport National Road Racing Series, and Round 3 of the new Ultimate Kart Challenge presented by TS Racing/Vega Tires for 10 classes included in the schedule.
Itโs also hard to believe, but the Nationals marks the final WKC race of 2026 after the Jefferson Circuit in April, NCCAR in May, and Shenandoah in July. While there are other road races left on this yearโs calendar, including the 5th and final round of the AKRA series at Gingerman (Mich.) Raceway Sept. 18-20, this will be it for the year for WKC road racing at Summit Point and the Mid-Atlantic region!
Registration remains open with at-track prices at woodbridgekartclub.alphatiming.co.uk/.
DID YOU KNOW? Since the 1980s, WKC has hosted a premier summer Road Racing Nationalโformerly part of the National Enduro Seriesโwith WKC club races surrounding the marquee event each year. For many seasons, the race was sanctioned by WKA and served as an annual stop on the organization's National Enduro Series, traditionally held in late July.
