New Jersey Motorsports Park Go Karting

Tempest Raceway is the karting complex at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, in the south of the state. The facility totals 1.1 miles and joins onto the Lightning road course. It has two main tracks, Avenger and Liberator, and eight layouts in all, several running at once. Everything is outdoors.

Arrive and Drive is the walk up option: a safety briefing, then straight onto the track. Regulars move on to Friday night rental leagues and two and three hour team endurance races in the same karts, and kart and motorbike owners run their own machines on competition practice days.

NJMP opened in 2008 as a country club style motorsport park with two road courses, Thunderbolt and Lightning. Around the karting there is the Finish Line Pub, axe throwing at Choppers Hatchet House on the Tempest Raceway site, pickleball courts and the Apex Pro Shop in the Thunderbolt paddock.
