On this episode of GRR-Tv we start a two episode road trip to the Silver State Quarter Midget Winter Nationals at the Buffalo Bills Hotel & Casino in Primm NV.

Every winter the Buffalo Bill's Hotel & Casino parking lot at the California/Nevada State line is transformed into a high speed Quarter Midget raceway.  For four days straight, over 400 cars dig in to the long flat-track oval, each with one thing on their mind...The checkered flag!

And the competition is tough.  These 4 - 16 year old boys and girls bump, push and light up the track with the same passion as their big brothers and sisters on the full scale midget circuit!

Young racers came from all over the U.S. and Canada to compete in what has become the "not to be missed" Quarter Midget event of the winter.

Pro Kart Challenge

Competition

The GRR-Tv crew stops at Moran Raceway in Beaumont CA for the opening round of the Pro Kart Challenge.  This series is a pro Go-kart racing series where, for young drivers, it can be a grueling introduction into the fast paced world of pro kart racing.

In the past on GRR-Tv we’ve covered everything from kid karts to Junior's, but in this episode we take a deeper look at kids moving up. We see how they deal with the pressure of racing with veterans twice their age and with twice the experience.

The GRR-kids can do anything they put their mind to and sometimes when they race against the best, they learn how the best wins.

But the GRR Kids of the Los Angeles Kart Club run it rain or shine...or in the wind!

Owen Sound Snowcross

This week GRRTV heads to the great white north to trade in dirt clouds for snow dust. We catch up with a group of kids aged between 5 and 11 and ask them just how cool it is to kick up the white stuff in front of the cheering crowds in Owen Sound, Ontario. So put on a jacket, things are going to be a little chillier than usual here on GRRTV.
