4. Q: What do I need to do to ride?
A: We created RTKKOT with the intent of having as many drivers as possible. You do not need to be a licensed kart racer to participate, however you must be able to demonstrate safe operation of your kart at all times. We ask that you have suitable footwear for driving, no open toe shoes or heeled soles. Also, bring your racing game. Seriously.

5. Q: Is it dangerous?
A: These karts are professional level karts that attain speeds of 60 MPH, and can be dangerous if not operated properly. We do require safety gear to be worn while driving (helmets, racing suits, neck roll, and gloves will be provided), and drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol will be disqualified from the race.

6. Q: Can I just show up whenever I feel like it?
A: While we certainly won’t turn you away if you show up out of the blue, we definitely encourage you to sign up ahead of time. It also helps us staff accordingly and assign the necessary resources if we know you’re coming, and walk-in registrations will have to pay an additional amount over people who pre-register online. Open registration and driver check-in opens at 2:45pm on Saturday, August 25th, and closes at 4:00pm. VIP racers and teams are invited to attend a private meet and greet with the Cheerleaders starting at 2pm on Saturday, August 25th.

8. Q: Can I race as an individual or part of a team?
A: It would be most beneficial to create a team of drivers so you can be sure to qualify at least one driver from your team for the cheerleader races; riding in a team is also a lot more fun! However you are more than welcome to enter the race by yourself – we look forward to seeing you either way.
