Austin Grand Prix Returns to Iron Rock Raceway with a $4,500 Purse
July 18, 2005 AUSTIN, TX Money, money, money... It may not buy you
love, but it sure buys a lot of tie rods. And when the Austin Grand Prix
returns to Iron Rock Raceway on October 1 and 2, King Cash will rule the
125cc Senior Shifter class with $2,000 going to the first place winner
alone!
The Austin Grand Prix is the final race of the World Karting Association's
Southwest Regional Cup and is expected to draw the nation's most
accomplished racers. Austin Grand Prix 2004, which was held at a temporary
track at a local shopping mall, attracted 113 race teams and awarded a
single $2,000 purse.
Austin Grand Prix 05 will more than double that purse, offering $4,500 in
awards for the 10 top racers of the 125cc Senior Shifter Kart class. First
place will take home $2,000, second place will take $1,000 and third place
will take $500.
Now that we have a first-class track and clubhouse, we want to offer a
first-class purse to match, said Charlie Swayne, Iron Rock General
Manager.
Purses will be determined by the combined points of the Saturday, October
1 and Sunday, October 2 races and will not be affected by SWRC point
totals overall. This will give every 125cc Senior entrant an opportunity
to compete for prize money on an even playing field.
Even if you havenšt run any other SWRC race, you've got a chance to take
home the money that weekends said Swayne.
The 2005 SWRC series consists of six race weekends. Two are held at Iron
Rock, two at Oklahoma Motorsports Complex in Norman, Oklahoma and two at
North Texas Kartway in Denton, Texas.
