Two weeks ago Allison Ferland, driving the number 88, took the checkered flag and got her first go kart win, at Richmond Karting Speedway. I asked Allison, what it was like to get her first kart win, she summed it all up in one word, “Exciting”!
This past Memorial Day weekend RKS kicked off its first night race of the season. And if you ask Allison, to which is her favorite, racing during the day or racing under the lights, she will tell you with a big smile “Night Racing, I can’t wait its really fun.”

Maggie Ferland of Auburn, Maine is doing double duty this season, racing go karts at Richmond Karting Speedway as well as the kart track at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
RPM. What do you think of the go-kart track at NHMS?
Maggie. I loved it because of the steep hill & the speed.
RPM. The go kart track at NHMS is unique in the way the track is designed; you have to drive up a hill on the front stretch and down the hill on the back stretch.
Maggie. The track is “Awesome” at NHMS. I wished they had more races on the upper track, the hill was awesome!
