About Snake River Karters

​

Karting was first organized in the Treasure Valley in 1962 and was originally named the Boise Go Kart Club. The club is now called Snake River Karters and is a non-profit organization (No one gets paid, all of the money raised is used to enhance the racing facilities and the club itself).

​

Snake River Karters is geared towards family and fun! Our success in these 2 goals are proven by how many entire families are involved at the Glen Morgan Track. The Race track is a 1/4 mile asphalt road coarse and fast to get around. It also incorporates a 1/8 mile Speedway oval.
