GSKA 2017 Membership Drive – 3 Free Months!!

/in /by

GSKA is proud to announce the launch of their new membership management system. In the past memberships have been manually managed. It has been difficult, at best, to manage memberships and make sure members stay current and that members are receiving all membership benefits. Our new system will track our members and allow members to self-manage their membership, complete with automatic renewal reminders, and the option to automatically charge your membership to your credit card each year.

This membership system will also be integrated into our new race and practice registration system, which will offer special members-only pricing and benefits. Your GSKA membership will be more valuable that ever before!

To celebrate the launch of this new system, we are offering special 15 month memberships for the price of the standard 1 year memberships. This offer is good now through March 1st, 2017. To take advantage of this special offer Sign Up or Renew Now!

Note: Members who have already signed up with the new system have automatically had their memberships extended by 3 months. Current members who have not signed up in the new system will need to sign up like a new member. If you have time remaining on your current membership and would like to take advange of this offer:
1. Sign Up as a new member
2. Please contact us and let us know how many months remain on your current membership.

We will confirm those remaining months in our old system and add them on to your membership in the new system.

The Georgia Sprint Karting Association has chosen MG Tires as the spec tire for the GSKA 2017 SuperSeries. GSKA is proud to join a growing alliance of Southeastern kart tracks moving to the MG tire in an effort to reduce the costs of racing within the region.

The MG HZ “Red” will be the spec tire for all LO206 classes as well as all 2 cycle classes with the exception of TaG Senior, TaG Junior, and 125 Shifter. The MG FZ “Yellow” will be the spec tire for TaG Senior and TaG Junior, while 125cc Shifter will remain open tire (with no year-end tire awards in 125cc shifter).

Welcome to the new web home of the Georgia Sprint Karting Association!

/in /by

We would like to welcome everyone to the new web home of the GSKA!

As web standards progressed over the years the old site was getting long in the tooth, so one of our goals for 2017 was to launch a new easier-to-use website.

We would like to thank Ihor Bilyy for his years of maintaining and hosting the previous site. Ihor was one of the first members of GSKA and has donated his time, expertise, and resources over the years to enable our web presence. As Ihor wound down the web hosting side of his business we were one of his last clients, and the top-flight hardware he was leasing was quite expensive. As his lease term was up it was time for use to move, which is why you’ve seen the countdown clock to the transition to the new site. Some unexpected glitches have us moving over a little sooner than we would like, so please bear with us as we get the new site fully operational.

The #1 goal of the new site is to put critical information and service front and center and present it in a fully responsive format that will be usable across all web devices including PCs, tablets, and mobile phones. The old forum format is being depreciated.

We would like to ask that everyone stay tuned as we roll out all the features of the new site, and we welcome your feedback. To submit feedback please use the Contact Page.
