A night of speed, style, and team spirit.
Last night, over 50 drivers, family members, and supporters from Next Level Karting came together for a special red carpet event celebrating the premiere of F1: The Movie. Held at Harkins Theatres in Scottsdale, the night was more than just a film screening—it was a celebration of community, passion, and the bright future of our karting stars.
Rolling Out the Red Carpet
From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this wasn’t your typical night at the movies. Drivers and their guests were welcomed with an actual red carpet experience, where they posed for photos captured by the team’s official photographer. The lobby buzzed with excitement as teammates, parents, and supporters mingled and snapped pictures in their best F1-inspired outfits and Next Level Karting gear.
VIP Treatment for the Team
Alongside the red carpet was a VIP gifting table stocked with branded swag bags and exclusive surprises for each team driver. Every gift was personalized—just like the effort and spirit each driver brings to the track.
Before the lights dimmed and the film rolled, Team Coach David Haraldsen took a moment to welcome everyone and share a few words of gratitude. His message echoed the same drive and determination that fuels every race weekend, setting the tone for an evening charged with adrenaline, unity, and full-throttle team spirit.
A Movie Night to Remember
While the film may have under-delivered on karting screen time (spoiler alert!), the team was still fully immersed in the action-packed 2.5-hour journey through the high-speed world of Formula 1. The energy in the room was undeniable—cheers, laughs, and wide eyes filled the theater as drivers watched their racing heroes on the big screen.
Surprise! Custom Jerseys for Every Driver
As the credits rolled and guests made their way out, the surprises weren’t over. Each driver was greeted upon exiting with a custom team jersey, complete with their name and kart number across the back. The reactions were priceless—wide smiles, proud parents, and plenty of “this is awesome!” echoing through the theater.
A Celebration of Team & Passion
The premiere night was more than a movie—it was a moment to reflect on how far the team has come and how much potential lies ahead. Events like these remind us that karting isn’t just about lap times and trophies; it’s about building confidence, creating memories, and strengthening the bonds that make a team feel like family.
