2024 K1 Speed State Championship Results!
Congratulations to Our 2024 State Champ Top 3s!
On Sunday, January 28th, hundreds of racers from across the United States competed in the 2024 K1 Speed State Championships at twenty centers in just as many different states. For states that had just one K1 Speed center, the competition gave our Top 3 Challenge GP racers a unique opportunity to race a different layout of their hometown track without any pressure of not advancing to the National Championships. But for states with several K1 Speed locations, the competition was INTENSE. Perhaps no more so than in the state of California, where 14 K1 Speed locations were represented during the championship competition!
At the end of the day, every racer who competed in the State Championship and finished in the Top 3 positions has earned a spot in our National Championships held this spring (Juniors) and summer (Teens/Adults). And so, without further ado, please join us in celebrating our Top 3 racers in this year’s State Championship who will advance to the 2024 National Championships for their shot at competing in the ultimate competition – the 2024 K1 Speed E-World Championship!
