The Stockholm Karting Center is also well-known for its SKC racing series. Fun fact: Go-kart racing in Minnesota actually got its start in Cokato with the formation of the Northland Region Karting Association in 1985, while the official SKC facility was constructed in 2001. Drivers such as Donny Schatz and Paul Menard got their start in the NKRA, so races at the track definitely don't disappoint.
Of course, SKC also offers rental karts, which start at $20 for an 8-minute ride around the track. You just need to be at least 5 years old and 40 inches tall for a chance to participate in the racing festivities. There are three types of karts: Children's karts (20 MPH), junior karts (30 MPH), and adult karts (40 MPH).
