SMS Promotions brought Go Kart Racing to the 2017 Mower County Fair Wednesday Night.

SMS runs the 56 Speedway Go Kart Track just south of Brownsdale on an every other Friday Night schedule during the summer.   

The weekly program features classes for four age groups: the Putt-Putt class for the 4-to-7 year olds, three classes for 8-to-12 year olds (Rookie Class, Junior 1 Gas, Junior 1 Alcohol), two classes for 12-to-16 year olds (Junior 2 Gas, Junior 2 Alcohol), and six classes for 16-and-up (Stock Appearing, Clone Lean, Clone Buff, Adult 206, Stock Heavy Animal, and Run What You Brung).

Engine, Clutch, Exhaust, Fuel Choice, and Weight Restrictions are the key areas that determine the different classes. Entries in each class get three races. They run two heats and a feature.
