| ‘King of the Castle’ Event Set for March with $40,000 Purse |
| |
eKartingNews.com received the following notice from Will Brinkley of 47Promotions, director of the Chase’n Race’n Illustrated Pro Kart Tour, regarding a new event he is planning for the 2013 season. The race is scheduled for March at the New Castle Motorsports Park with a $40,000 purse spread out over selected classes.
Nearly 12 months ago, preparations began. Now, the Pro Kart Tour is ready to Race onto the Road Course Karting Scene!!
For those who aren't familiar with the Pro Kart Tour, our Series, sponsored by Chase'n Race'n Illustrated, was arguably the Largest Dirt Oval Karting Series in America in 2012.
We were approached about the possibilities of promoting a 4 race series for the Road Racers. You ever heard of Race Junkies turning that type of offer down??! Neither have we, and we didn't! So here we are!
Agreeing to promote the "baddest" sprint series in the country was the easy part. The tough task was deciding where to begin. The result of the search is New Castle Motorsports Park! NCMP was the most common answer when the question was posed to countless members of the road racing community. Mark Dismore Sr., Mike Adams, and the entire NCMP staff welcomed us with open arms during our visit to this multi-million dollar facility in September. We were astounded and amazed by the facility and the hospitality. Having visited scores upon scores of karting facilities all across the country over the years, this facility still managed to blow us away! With that said, here it is… Race number 1 in the 2013 Pro Kart Tour (Right Turn Edition) at New Castle Motorsports Park in New Castle, IN. The date will be March 22nd, 23rd, and 24th.
A full race program will be highlighted by 2 "marquee" features. A guaranteed $10,000 purse with 5 G's going to the winner will be up for grabs in TAG Heavy and Clone Heavy. The remaining five grand in the guaranteed purse will be paid back through tenth place!!! Oh yeah, we did say that 20G's was guaranteed, but here's the other "sweet" part… there's no Kart Minimum!!!! All for an entry fee of only $95!!
By now, you're probably thinking, "holy cow batman!" But what about the Jr's?!?! Don't worry, this ain't our first rodeo and we're not leaving them out. Try this on for size!!..... Yamaha Jr. Heavy will have a guaranteed purse over $4000, and pay the top ten!!! Yamaha Sportsman Heavy will pay more than $2000, again guaranteed and paying the top ten!!! Last, but certainly not least, the Yamaha Rookie Sportsman Heavy racers will be chasing a guaranteed $900 purse, paying the top five!!
The full weekend purse will be over $40,000 in Cash, not to mention the baddest, coolest trophies karters have ever seen!!
You can chisel this in stone, when the Pro Kart Tour comes to town, it's gonna be BIG!!! Here's what we have in place with additional information and classes to be announced later;
