At the club’s May board meeting, membership totals were tallied.  As of mid-May, GCKI now enjoys 336 total members (master members and associates.)  This far eclipses the club’s old record of 300 total members set in March of 2010 (before the global economic downturn.) It also represents a greater than 10% increase in our total membership from just the start of this year.  The surge in membership is attributed to a number of factors – the excitement surrounding the Texas Pro Kart Challenge, the growing field of Chonda and Chonda Cadet classes as well as the hard-work and dedication of a core group of club members to make GCKI the best karting experience in the United States. 

GCKI is grateful to all who continue to support the club.  Please help spread the word.  Like lap records – this is one record, we hope will continue to be broken over and over again!
