TENTATIVE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS 2026
Based on feedback during our planning meeting, I have tried to make multi-venue days start with the meal, then go to the event. That makes it easier for members who just want to come, say hi, and eat.
Some venues are still being confirmed as available. Now is the time to speak up and give your feedback!

WHAT IS THE AGNELLI CUP?
It is a go kart race series we are doing in 2026. It will consist of 6 races over 3 days. Points will be awarded for each race.
1st: 15 pts
2nd: 12 pts
3rd: 9 pts
4th: 6 pts
5th: 3 pt
Non-chapter members will be racing with us in most races. 1st-5th places will be based on our members' times relative to each other, not their actual race placement.
Points will be added for all 6 races and at the end of the season, the top 5 point-getters will receive an award.
The exact format is not yet set. If you want to participate, please give me feedback.
Cost: a 1-time $10-15 fee (TBD) to enter the Agnelli Cup Series. All money collected will go towards purchasing the awards.
NOTE: Racers will still be responsible for buying their races at the Dallas Karting Complex.
I am thinking of making the first race each day the “Feature” race with full points and the second race each day a ”bonus” race with 1/3rd (5,4,3,2,1) points awarded. That way, people who only want to race once a day can still qualify for awards if they race well.
Let me know what you think.
