Q: What is the KCI Motorsports Park?
A: It is a high performance motorsports club created for the sports car and racing enthusiast. The concept shares similarities to a golf-oriented country club. Members join and have a right to use the facilities in exchange for their initiation fee and annual dues. Members are obliged to learn the rules and conduct, as well as the physics associated with high performance motoring. Members then enjoy the ability to drive street legal cars or actual race cars in a controlled environment.
Q: Who will be using the facility? Will it be open to the general public?
A: Club members and participants will consist primarily of motorsports and motorcycle enthusiasts, sports car owners, racers, and car collectors. The track will also be available for rent to various car clubs in the region including, for example, the Corvette Club of Kansas City. The course may also be utilized by law enforcement and driver’s education schools and potentially host event weekends sanctioned by the SCCA or other racing entities.
Q: How many members will there be?
A: It is anticipated that 400 car memberships will be available for sale. Motorcycle and kart memberships will be sold based on track capacity.
Q: When will the KCI Motorsports Park be open?
A: The racing season typically lasts from March to October; however, the track will be open to members year round, weather and conditions permitting.
Q: What will be the hours of operations?
A: The Club will be open to members during “daylight” hours in the spring, summer and fall months. During the winter months, the track will remain open but no events will be scheduled November through February. The track will be available, weather and conditions permitting.
Q: What type of events will be held at the KCI Motorsports Park?
A: We anticipate hosting a variety of special events. Members will have access on all days except when a full track event is being hosted (e.g. SCCA events). In addition to club member use, the facility can be rented by car clubs, like the Porsche Club of America or the Ferrari Club of America, and law enforcement agencies using the facility to train. KCI Motorsports Park may also host SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) events that will include competitive racing.
