Welcome race fans to the first big event of the year, the Mazda Race of the Americas hosted by the Snap-on Stars of Karting presented by IndyCar Series. The event has been moved to the end of May and also to the New Castle Motorsports Park in New Castle, IN. The fields are looking strong and the weather should be clear on the weekend to provide great racing throughout the event.

EKN will be on hand providing our Trackside Live coverage with daily reports, results, photos and of course updates here on the forum. Remember, if you have any questions, we'll track down the answer. Enjoy the weekend.

Only 33 entries in ICC.. Shocked

Just two years ago it was 74 at the Norman ROTA!

33 entries in ICC? Embarassed

Interesting. I know of nearly 40 retired Mod Moto drivers with Mazdas. I wonder if Stars would let us race our Mazdas?

Jason, I like that Evolution Karting - did you get permission from Micheal Johnson to use his trademark? Wink

33 entries isn't bad. The field is stacked though. The economy and gas are having an effect on this I'm sure. Thank god for Intrepid and CRG, they are really supporting every class.
