EKN had the official annoucement as well.  https://new.ekartingnews.com/2016/12/06/major-karting-competition-coming-to-battle-at-the-brickyard-weekend/

More info will be available February 1st

Any idea what kart classes might be there. I’m looking to buy a kart, one that I can run anywhere in the USA. I’m guessing shifter is about all sanction bodies? Any other that might be in all at a cheaper kart?

I would guess TaG, Yamaha, LO206, and Shifter classes will be run at Indy.

Choosing a kart or class based on what is run or popular throughout the country is a losing proposition. The sport is just too fragmented. That said, LO206 is probably the only class ran nation wide under the same engine rules with good numbers no matter where you go. Get a LO206 and have fun.

They put up a video of the track.  Go straight for a while….sharp turn….go straight even longer….sharp turn…. repeat 4 times.  Why not just hold the event at New Castle and make it a decent track.

It might not be everyone, but should be fun.

Anyone interested in running a shifter at the Speedway race that is not running a Honda let USAC no you would like to be included.

AS of now it is a Honda shifter only class. We hope this race will be back again so we need all the karts we can get.

If interested let USAC know.

Thanks USAC for putting this race on.
