Wow just saw the ICC entry list and just one month ago Speeds were on the Energy kart and now I see they entered with Tony Kart...What is the deal...Did Energy not have the backing like Trackmagic?? 3 chassis Manufacturers in less than 2 months...This is worse than Nascar Silly Season!!!!

I think maybe the Supernationals is really starting to overshadow this event. Also you have those that are in a points chase and others that are getting ready for the Supernationals using this race. I'm guessing that old economy thing might have a say in this to.
