Moormeister and Schrum drafted for 2006 racing season

January 26, 2005 ­ The Southwest Regional Cup will add two of the nationšs most respected karting professionals to its series team in 2006, according to SWRC officials. Don Schrum will become SWRC Race Director. Don Moormeister will act as Technical Director.

A veteran race official, Schrum was on the board of directors, then vice president of North Texas Karters for nine years. During that time, he worked with the SKUSA A Team at their Nationals, KART Regionals and Nationals, SWRC and other kart races throughout Texas.

Don obviously has the credentials necessary to create the kind of professional series wešre striving for, said Charlie Swayne, of Iron Rock Raceway.

Moormeister, currently assistant tech director for Stars of Karting, has an impressive history with karting spanning 40 years. In that time, he was Tech Director for the IKF region for 10 years, as well as the SKUSA SuperNationals, Momo Grand Priz, Iron Man, Tustin Thunder and many others.

Technical Director is a really important position and the hardest job on race day, said Berryhill. That's why we felt it was important to hire the best. Don will be a big plus to the program this year, especially considering his experience with STARS, Winter Tour and IKF series.

By hiring Schrum and Moormeister, SWRC hopes to boost its reputation further, from being the best regional program in Southwest to being one of the best in the US.

SWRC 2006 will include both a Spring and Summer series. That schedule is:

Spring Series
Event #1 March 11 - 12
Oklahoma Motorsports Complex, Norman, OK

Event #2 April 8 - 9
Iron Rock Raceway, Austin, TX

Event #3 May 7 - 8
Kart RunCo, San Antonio, TX

Fall Series
Event #1/Austin Grand Prix September 9 ­ 10
Iron Rock Raceway. Austin, TX

Event #2 October 14 - 15
Oklahoma Motorsports Complex, Norman, OK

Event #3 November 18 - 19
Gulf Coast Kartways, Katy, TX
