PRS Kart - Safety Third Racing

Things That Go

Safety Third Racing joins the Power Racing Series fun with our custom-built electric kart. Simple, lightweight, and built with off the shelf parts. This kart showcases how everyday materials, recycled parts, and a bit of garage engineering can be turned into a surprisingly capable racing machine.


Stop by the Power Racing Series track during the day to see team Safety Third Racing in action, check out the kart up close, and learn how makers, students, and hobbyists are transforming everyday components into wild racing machines.

I enjoy building fun electric karts out of whatever parts are available. Inspired by the DIY spirit of the Power Racing Series, my projects focus on keeping things simple, cheap, and fun. Usually with a healthy amount of zip ties and questionable decisions. I also enjoy tinkering with electronics, wiring up motors, controllers, and anything else that makes things move. Most of my builds are a work in progress, and that’s kind of the point, try something, see if it works, and make it better next time.
