Caring Karts Churnin Dust

On the other hand, Caring Karts Churnin Dust offers a ground tapping, ear hummin’, dust blowin’, good time as local business races their 5 ½ horsepower go-carts for their favorite charities.

Caring Karts Churnin Dust brings together local area businesses affiliated with the Richland Chamber & Development Alliance for the purpose of raising money and awareness for local charities. Businesses race their own 'Indy-style' go-karts (from Vetesnik Power Sports) to support a charity of their choice. Caring Karts Churnin Dust will be a fun, noisy, colorful and energetic addition to our July 4 weekend.

Caring Karts Churnin’ Dust is a new addition to the Richland Center Independence Day celebration that will bring together local businesses affiliated with the Richland Chamber and Economic Development Association (RCDA) to raise money for and awareness of the Richland Community Food Pantry. The event will include eight cart races in which businesses can buy a racing cart to race against other local businesses. Depending on where the cart places in the races, a charity chosen by the business will receive a percentage of the event proceeds and 50 percent will go to the food pantry.

We are pleased that so many local areas businesses will now be directly involved in growing this great holiday tradition. Caring Karts Churnin Dust is a fun, competitive, highly entertaining way to ‘Race Against Hunger’. Jason Schultz founder of Churnin Dirt says “I like the big, noisy and loud trucks and motors.” “ It’s my passion, but I realize that the arts and other things are important to our community too!” So the idea was to expand on Churnin Dirt’s vision by creating Churnin Dust, for community and business leaders who want the excitement of Churnin Dirt at a more affordable cost.
