...generally cadets that join the program have a sense of civic responsibility,” second year cadet Josue V. Guerra ’10 says. “Part of it’s tradition, part of it’s civic duty, and I think part of it is that it’s a challenge, it’s something different, it’s not something that’s expected...

But there's often a push-button starter, a hydraulic disk brake, and a tiny onboard computer that measures everything from average speed to G-force. In the cadet class for the youngest competitive drivers like Nelson, the karts' 60-cc engines clock speeds of around 50 m.p.h. (80 km/h). The junior classes - open to racers from around 12 - have 100-cc to 125-cc motors that top 75 m.p.h. (120 km/h) on a typical 1-km circuit. Engines...
