The Adams Motorsports Park in Riverside, California, is a 0.7-mile (1.12-km) raceway paved in 1962, when Troy Adams, the grandfather of the Adams family, owners of the park until nowadays, decided to build a karting track on a segment of his farmland. Almost six decades after its opening day, the road course is still alive and running as one of the oldest purpose-built go-kart racing facilities in the world. Riverside sits in an arid region with hot summers, mild winters, and very little rainfall (approximately 30 rainy days a year on average). Racing in the Adams Motorsports Park means lots of sunshine, dust, and a dry track surface year-round. The narrow road course is ideal for karting, but motorcycles and race cars are welcome on special occasions.
There are 13 corners in the race track at Adams Motorsports Park, most fast-paced sweepers, but others are tight and difficult to take. The longest straightaway sits between corners four and five and offers passing opportunities. Turns 10 and 11 are sharp-angled in the circuit and go opposite directions. The average lap time is 0:45.1, with an average speed of 56 mph (90 km/h).
