Buttonwillow Kart Track FAQs

Do I need a reservation for rentals?

Yes, highly recommended. Because rentals are handled by specific vendors and not a general ticket booth, you should contact them (e.g., SoCal Karts) in advance to ensure availability.

Is there an entry fee?

Yes. Buttonwillow Raceway Park typically charges a gate fee (approx. $10/person) on weekends to enter the facility, regardless of whether you are driving or spectating.

What should I wear?

If you are renting high-performance karts, you must wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, and long sleeves. A racing suit/jacket and helmet are usually provided with the rental.

Can I camp at the track?

Yes. The facility is well-equipped for overnight stays with RV hookups and clean shower facilities available for racers.

Is it open year-round?

Yes, the moderate Central Valley winter allows for year-round racing. However, summer temperatures frequently exceed 100°F, so plan accordingly.
