December 8th, 2004
For Immediate Release
Toledo Ohio-
Grand Vitesse Racing, presenter of the
Richest series in Kart Racing History has announced a schedule change
for Round 1 of the series.
The event, originally scheduled for December 29,
2004, has been moved to Feb 4, 2005.
Rounds 1 and 2 of the Ten Round series will be
contested as a "Double Header" weekend on the Ultra Smooth/Ultra fast
surface at the Gainesville Raceway Road Course.
Grand Vitesse Racing's General Manager Glen Mazzone
explains the reason for the change:
"We are trying to do something good for Karting.
The December 29, 2004 date was chosen with the
thought many karters, being in the area for the WKA events would like
to increase their racing enjoyment and contest an additional event.
Every attempt was made to complement, not compete
with their (WKA's) schedule.
We tried to get the best people on board to hold
this event, and to make this entire series an overwhelming success for
the entire karting community.
Early on, many teams began to voice their
concern regarding schedule conflicts.
As this race is Round 1 of a Ten Race $500,000
series, attendance is important!
Due to sponsorship commitments and budgetary
concerns, many teams could not field an entry for both the WKA event
and the PJ1/Grand Prix Distributing event.
In addition, Martin Casey, Chief of Tech was not
going to be able to attend December 29 due to Family concerns."
By moving the race, all teams will have sufficient
time to prepare their Karts and maximize their chance for success in
this lucrative series."
Mazzone continued..."We are working with the teams
that did enter, and returning all entry fees ASAP...we are also trying
to help those entrants with expenses they may have incurred in
planning to attend this race and offering financial credits towards
their entry fee on the rescheduled date."
"Upon many discussions with those throughout the
karting community, we feel this is the best thing to do at this time."
Entries are being accepted for Rounds 1 and 2 on
February 5-6, a $50,000 Double Header Weekend.
