Our Story
In 2020, a backyard idea turned into a revolutionary movement in dirt track racing. What started with modifying old karts for fun quickly evolved as demand grew and supply couldn’t keep up. By 2022, we introduced our first custom wedge-frame kart—a hand-built design that immediately became the gold standard for stock-class racing.
Today, Wedg Karts continues to push boundaries. Every kart is built in Northern California and delivered to tracks across the country. We’re proud to offer a product that’s more than just a kart; it’s a commitment to excellence, accessibility, and the thrill of the race.
