AKRA Southern Tour Round 2 Moved to Barnesville
In light of reports from a Sunday practice session for karts at the Herrin Compound in Dublin, GA, AKRA officials have opted to move the April 29-May 1 American Sprint Cup Series “Southern Tour” Round 2, originally to take place at the Herrin Compound, to Lamar County Speedway in Barnesville, GA.
During Sunday’s test session, which included approximately a dozen karts making laps, racers found the track surface rough in many areas and unsuitable for kart racing.
