The Track

USA International Raceway is a brand new go-karting facility located in Shawano, Wisconsin, just 35 miles west of Green Bay on old Highway 29. The raceway was designed by Kenny Venberg, who is vice president of the World Karting Association (WKA). The raceway is 30 feet wide and over a mile long, and the fifth-mile oval has 35 foot corners and a six foot elevation change from one side of the track to the other. The land where the track sits has gentle slopes and some severe elevation changes like a 20 foot and a 15 foot ravine.

The track was built on a parcel of land that is part of the Midwest Amusement Park. The park has five concession go-kart tracks, bumper boats, a swimming pool, miniature golf, video arcade, and soon to come, paintball.

After Kenny Venberg designed the track, it was time to shape and build the track using the natural contours of the land. To say that we created a masterpiece would be an understatement. The raceway is a tremendous challenge: from the high-banked corners, to the big sweeper, to the slightly off-camber turns, to the 1,000 straight-a-way down two deep ravines, this track will leave the driver breathless.

After the completion of the raceway, Kenny Venberg was quoted as saying:

"There is not another track like this in the whole country - it's unparalleled."
