Some people have indicated that the site won't load in older versions of Internet Explorer. It works for me in IE9 and Firefox.

This doesn't sound like a release that's aimed at aligning with wka! |
Jason,
Right now working with WKA's rule book is in the best interest of both parties for the parity of the rules. People are trying to make this out to be a WKA vs USPKS series's battle. Jason you have seen how those battles go, when you and your brother in law Joe were running SKUSA and had to compete with Stars. Who suffers? THE RACER DOES!!! In this economy all the racer wants to do is race and have enough money to do it! My hats off to Mark and WKA for coming together for the benefit of the racer. Both series have different business models but for the benefit of the racer the rules will be the same! |

| Please don't form opinions based on what is, or isn't said in a press release. We all try to blow smoke in those (guilty!). Mark Coats is a proven quality promoter who has shown he has the interests of the racers at heart. Give him a chance to show what he can do -- and THEN draw your opinions. |

In regards to the races, does anyone know how fuel will be handled. Will it be available for purchase at the track or do we need to bring our own?

Roger,
Thank you for the kind words. As you know running a race series and promoting races is a lot of work and takes a lot of time. If I did not own my own business and have quality people that work for me, there is know way that I would ever have the time to do this. I am also proud and honered to be working with such a great team of individuals on the USPKS and the Route 66 Sprint Series.
Next week we will be releasing more exciting information about both series.
As you notice I have been laying low and Tim Koyen has been doing a great job answering everyones questions. I just wanted to say thank you Roger and I will go back into hibernation!

Mike,
There will be a fuel truck at Mooresville selling Sunoco Standard 110 Leaded. I am not sure on the price.
Tom,
The only money class is Leopard 125 Pro. Watch next Tuesday for a press release with a ton of updates. The Pro payout, pit spot reservations form and much more.
FYI - the first 100 drivers that enter will receive a free pit/drivers pass.
All drivers that enter the Mooresville Event will receive a really cool event T-Shirt designed by TJ Koyen.

I just spoke with Mark Coats and I gotta say, some of the prizes he's working on are pretty sweet.
Tick Tock...MMX and the beginning of a new era in American karting is just over a month away. I don't know what's more exciting, a new series that's going to be loaded with great competition, or a chance to finally race at Mooresville!
