Schedule Change for Illinois

Posted In: Uncategorized

After much thought, we have decided to change the days Pro Animal, Animal 350, and Flathead 375 run in Mattoon, Illinois. These 3 classes are the ONLY classes that will change. Pro Animal and Animal 350 (originally scheduled for Saturday) will NOW run on Sunday. Flathead 375 (originally scheduled for Sunday) will now run on Saturday. This change is so the racers can run more classes without needing extra karts or having to make motor changes. We understand some may still do this and that is great, but this will hopefully be a small change that makes life easier on everyone. Full Running order coming today for the CRI PKT at Coles County.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT:

We are happy to announce another HUGE class with NO ENTRY at Coles County.

AMERICAN SEALED ANIMALS (LO206) – $2000 to WIN GUARANTEED – NO ENTRY FEE

Now if the no entry and 2k is not enough for you, how about this???

The tire rule for this class will be ALL Maxxis Blues. Maxxis Blues on the right side AND left side. We will be selling the Right Side Maxxis Blue 800′s at the track for $25 for two. I want to say that one more time. $25 for a pair of Right Side 800′s! We will brand your tires after the first practice and you will be REQUIRED to run the same set ALL Day. Are you tired of cutting every tire you have in the trailer? With the Maxxis Blues, they are bolt on and GO! This is a 40 thou tire that is ready to go right out of the box. The LO206 is the only class that will be this way.

Our goal with this class is to make the most affordable class in the country. We hope everyone will try this class that can. A little something different from the norm is not always a bad thing.

We want to thank the Briggs & Stratton Racing Division and Goldspeed USA for making this class a reality on the PKT Stage.

Here are the details summed up:

Class Name: American Sealed Animals (ASA)
Ages: Ages 14+
Payout: 1st $2000 + Briefcase + Trophy Ticket
Awards to Top 5
Entry Fee: $0 FREE
Tires: Maxxis Blues on all 4 corners [800's for sale at track $25 for 2 (this price is only valid at the track)]
Engine: Briggs & Stratton sealed Local Option 206
Engine Rules: Click HERE for Rulebook
Weight: TBD

I had this huge long drawn out spillage of words to type here. But truly there are only two words that describe my feelings from this weekend.

THANK YOU!

Thank you for coming to Missouri. Thank you for waiting it out with us to try to get the event in. Thank you for driving to Newton, Iowa on such short notice. Thank you for following us around the country to do what we all love. Thank you for chasing racing with us this weekend and WE FOUND IT! Thank you for the 3 & 4 wide racing by some of the best drivers in kart history. Thank you.
