    Volunteering: VKA is run by volunteers. Because the membership is comprised mostly of vintage karters, we not only have drivers and mechanics with a lifetime of experience at and on the track, but are in the unique position of having access to a vast and varied “knowledgebase.” Don’t let it go to waste. VKA is always looking for volunteers at the track, but also to manage, organize and run the organization. Please take a moment and indicate below what life experiences or general interest you have and can contribute to VKA.
