The National Intercollegiate Go Karting Series puts academic and racing skills to the test. The invitational competition will be held May 17-18, 2016, at the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The race will use a "spec" racing motor kit that will cost under $4,000 for each participating university.
