Sugar River Raceway (SRR) in Brodhead, WI is proud to host our 4th Annual 'Brodhead Historics' Vintage Kart Event July 16th through July 18th, 2009.

Our inaugural event drew karters from all over the country (and Canada and Mexico). Fifty-five class entrants took to the track in 2006, 65 vintage karters were on hand for 2007, and 2008 was another great year with 67 entries taking part.

Each year we host a Vintage Kart Show and Judging on Friday night in which several karts were presented that did not see track time during the weekend. We follow up the kart show with a steak cookout each year. Several drivers also just practice on Thursday and Friday without taking part in Saturday's racing program. We are expecting great things for our event again in 2009, based on the success of our previous events, the history of our racing facility, and the increasing popularity of 'Vintage Karting'.

SRR has been a part of the karting landscape since 1959. Its founder, Don Fairman, also was the designer and builder of 'Blackhawk Karts'. Blackhawk Karts predate the start up of SRR. As these pictures show, many Blackhawk brand karts have been in attendance each year. The first picture shows the 2006 Blackhawk karts and drivers.

This 2007 picture shows the number of Blackhawk karts in attendance grew!

Below are the Blackhawk karts and their drivers that participated in 2008.
