CHASE'n RACE'n PRO Kart Tour

***MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT***

We have a couple of exciting announcements we would like to share with the Karting Community.

The MIDWEST Chase’n Race’n PRO Kart Tour POWERED by Briggs & Stratton

We would like to announce Briggs & Stratton, one of the largest and well respected companies in the karting industry on board as the TITLE Sponsor of our Midwest Series for 2012. This partnership has been a work in progress since September of 2011 and we are excited to have this deal completed.

Here is an excerpt from Briggs & Stratton website:
“Our dedication to racing goes beyond engineering and manufacturing engines. Briggs & Stratton has been given the opportunity to support the racing community and experience the important moments that go along with it. We are proud of our involvement with families, in their weekends spent growing and learning together.”

We are excited to have one of the best companies in the karting industry come on board with their support. Dave Klaus and the entire group of Briggs and Stratton has been great people to work with and we are very excited for the future endeavors this will bring to the karting community.

Briggs & Stratton comes on Board as a CLASS Sponsor for the SOUTHEAST Chase’n Race’n PRO Kart Tour

In addition, Briggs & Stratton will also be a major class sponsor in our Southeast series as well. While Briggs & Stratton will be a very important part of our southeast series, we will still support and run the Clone/Box Stock engine in the Southeast for the 2012 Season.
