About Us
Who is MKA?
The Montana Karting Association was formed in 2008 as a 501c3 non-profit corporation. Our
Association was organized exclusively to Foster National and International Amateur Sports
Competition in the sport of Kart Racing. Our goal is to develop a family oriented association and
kart track facility to benefit, support and develop amateur athletes (drivers) from ages 5 on up, for
that competition. Our track facility, once constructed, will pursue hosting regional, national and
international level amateur kart racing events. MKA promotes the ideals of family participation,
good sportsmanship, safe driving skills, personal responsibility and the support of charitable
activities and community involvement through competitions, events and club sponsored projects.

Kart Track Project
With the successful completion of our Kart Track, Montana will have access to amateur karting
competition for the first time in over 40 years. Karting in Montana was very well attended in the
50's and early 60's. Locally, there were paved tracks in Great Falls and Ft. Benton, both with
extensive family participation. Montana is currently one of only three states (Montana, Wyoming &
Rhode Island) in the country that does not have an outdoor kart facility. Yes, even our often joked
about neighbors in North Dakota have use of several paved kart tracks. No, the weather is no
excuse either, because Alaska has 3. Great Falls is sandwiched between the Rocky Mountain
Front and the Little Belt Mountains where motorized recreation, multiple-use routes and Forest
Service Travel Plans have major impacts on how we spend our recreational time. Forest fire
restrictions often cut summers short on trails used by all interests. A karting facility, on a
designated property, will prove to be an alternative for many Montana residents. How many of us
have motorbikes and atv's collecting dust in a corner because it's getting harder to find a place to
ride?
MKA and its' members are currently working on the extensive research and fund-raising efforts
required to construct an asphalt paved Sprint Track in the Great Falls area. The track property will
require 20-30 acres of space which will incorporate a 30' wide paved road course of .75 to 1 mile
in running length. The site will also require a paved pit area and some gravel parking. At the local
level we are discussing land lease and purchase opportunities with several parties and will be
coordinating those with the necessary planning and zoning requirements. We will be discussing
potential construction services with several of the areas contractors.

Fund-Raising
Our fund-raising efforts will cover local, state, regional and national companies, organizations
and individuals that support competitive amateur sports, motor-sports, karting and Montana's
farm and ranch based economy. Our club will be applying for any and all funds available to
non-profit organizations. Our 501c3 status allows individual and corporate donations to be fully
tax deductible to each donor. This new facility will be managed by the membership of the MKA.
Our goal is to provide a competitive amateur motor-sports opportunity for a variety of families and
communities in a centralized location here in Great Falls. If you have an interest in leasing a
piece of land or donating your time, labor, materials, equipment or resources to our efforts in any
way, please contact us to inquire about our projects status and needs. If you think karting might
be fun for you or your family, inquire about attending a meeting and becoming a member of MKA.
