Entry Update March 9th

Posted on by

Thank you to all the drivers who registered for our upcoming PKRA event the moment we announced the need for 60 pre entries to carry on with the 2026 season. Your support is greatly appreciated. We planned a status update today and though entries have been coming in we are not at the required number yet. You have nothing to lose by registering. Your $500 deposit will be completely refunded if we don’t hit the target number of 60. There are five more days left before we make our decision of go-no go. So please, if you want to race, let’s race, we would love to have you, and COTA will put on another amazing event at PKRA.

PKRA entry for R3/R4 is open at https://raceselect.com/cota//2026 and will remain so until 11:59pm on March 14th. We only ask for a $500 entry down payment. The balance can be paid at a later date, right up until the race weekend, or even at the event. Should we not get 60 entries your $500 down payment will be refunded in full.

REGISTRATION OPEN FOR 2026 CHALLENGE OF THE AMERICAS EVENT AT PKRA. 60 ENTRIES NEEDED BY MARCH 14TH TO MAKE THE EVENT HAPPEN

The Power is Yours: Secure Your Spot for Challenge of the Americas Phoenix!

Greetings Challenge Racers and Teams.

It is no secret that numbers were down at our opener at K1 Circuit last week. So low, that I took a significant financial loss organizing the event. Track costs there are exorbitant and not sustainable, but we took the chance and it didn’t pay off. I can’t continue down the path of hemorrhaging cash. Doing it once was extremely painful, but necessary. Doing that 3 more times is impossible.  

The new K1 club series has garnered the support of Southern California and a number of teams that have supported the Challenge of the Americas for the last 19 seasons. Unfortunately, the new program decided to schedule on top of our next two event weekends, unnecessarily forcing racers to choose a race program.

Therefore, for our Phoenix event I give you, our racers, the role of choosing the fate of our program. We need 60 entries committed to our PKRA event or the rest of the season will be canceled. After nearly 20 years, and with a heavy heart I say this, the choice is yours. I don’t want K1 to go down as the final Challenge of the Americas race weekend, but I need your support.

PKRA entry for R3 and R4 opens today and will remain so until 11:59pm on March 14th. I know it is early, so we only ask for a $500 entry down payment. The balance can be paid at a later date, right up until the race weekend, or even at the event. Should we not get 60 entries your $500 down payment will be refunded in full. 

Thank you,

Andy

You asked, we listened. Many of you were racing this weekend at @floridawintertour, @fatkarting, @tri-c karters and didn’t get your COTA entry in for the season opener at K1. Don’t worry about late fees. We hear you, and we will continue to offer the pre entry pricing for the rest of the week. So make sure to register at https://raceselect.com/cota//2026 before next weekend. See everyone at K1 in 2 weeks.
