Policy: 
Please list your child's height in the question box when registering. We will have a measuring station posted at Mr. Pete's desk in the YA area, so you can verify your child's height. 

(Must be in 4th - 8th Grade & between 48in - 63in in height) These are the height requirements of the Junior Go Kart. 

Your child will be measured and fitted into safety equipment at K1 Speed the day of the program. If your child does not meet these height requirements, your child will not be able to race and will be asked to leave. We will not tolerate patrons lying about their child's height. The Mokena Public Library and K1 Speed Go Kart Racing take the safety of all children extremely seriously. 

If you do not follow the above guidelines, you will be responsible for paying a $60 fee, and your child will not be able to participate in any of the Summer Reading Programs and events. You must fill out the K1 Speed waiver and our offsite waiver. Both must be filled out in order to participate. If either waiver is NOT filled out, then you will be responsible for paying a $60 fee.

This is a free program, as long as you follow the rules!
