RKS ANNOUNCES TWO NEW RACING DIVISIONS FOR 2010
RICHMOND KARTING SPEEDWAY IS EXCITED TO INTRODUCE TWO NEW RACING DIVISIONS FOR THE UPCOMING 2010 RACING SEASON. THE RKS 2009 RACING SEASON HAS SPARKED A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE RACING COMMUNITY. "RKS WANTS TO CONTINUE TO GROW, AND PART OF THE GROWTH IS FINDING NEW WAYS TO INTRODUCE THE WORLDS FASTEST GROWING SPORT OF RACING TO YOUNGER DRIVERS IN A SAFE AND AFFORDABLE WAY." RKS MANAGER ROGER COLLINS SAYS. "IT IS SO EXCITING TO SEE THE TALENT OF YOUNG DRIVERS IN THE SPORT OF RACING, AND IT IS EVEN MORE EXCITING TO ME TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE SMILES ON THE YOUNGER FACES AS THE CREW UNLOADS THEIR KART FROM THE TRAILER AND THEY STRAP ON THEIR HELMETS TO GO RACING. THIS IS THEIR CHANCE TO BE THEIR OWN HERO AND REACH FOR THEIR DREAMS OF BEING THE NEXT JEFF GORDON, TONY STEWART, JIMMIE JOHNSON, OR WHO EVER THEIR FAVORITE DRIVER MAY BE.".
THE FIRST NEW DIVISION FOR THE 2010 SEASON IS DESIGNED AROUND TWO ASPECTS OF RACING. THE FIRST BEING SAFETY, AND THE SECOND BEING AFFORDABILITY. THE NEW DIVISION WILL ALLOW A DRIVER TO PROGRESS THROUGH MULTIPLE YEARS OF RACING WITH THE SAME CHASSIS AND MOTOR AT LIMITED EXPENSE. INTRODUCING THE ANIMAL MOTOR AT A BEGINNING LEVEL OPENS THE DOOR TO NEW DRIVERS TO ENTER INTO RACING WITH A PACKAGE THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO GROW WITH FOR MANY YEARS. RKS HOPES TO CONTINUE GROWING THE ANIMAL MOTOR PROGRAM THROUGHOUT THE UPCOMING YEARS. "ONE STEP AT A TIME IS THE BEST WAY TO GROW" SAYS ROGER COLLINS, TRACK MANAGER. "THERE ARE SO MANY KART RACING ENGINES AVAILABLE TODAY, SO MANY MORE OPTIONS THAN YEARS PAST. FINDING THE BEST OPTION THAT MEETS THE NEED OF BOTH THE RACER AND THE FUTURE OF THE TRACK CAN BE CHALLENGING. IT IS NOT A DISICION TO BE MADE IN HASTE. STARTING OF SLOW PROVIDES A GROWTH PERIOD TO TAKE EFFECT, CHANGING TO RAPIDLY ONLY STARTS TO SPLIT UP THE DRIVERS ALREADY RACING, WHICH IS NOT WHAT RKS WANTS TO DO.
THE SECOND NEW DIVISION FOR THE 2010 SEASON IS THE WKA ANIMAL LEAGUE. THIS DIVISION IS DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO RACE AT TOP SPEEDS. PROVIDING A DIVISION FOR A PROMINENT MOTOR AT RKS AT A LEVEL THAT IS COMPATIBLE FOR ALL IS THE GOAL FOR THIS RACING CLASS. RKS HAS ALREADY RECEIVED GREAT INTEREST IN THIS NEW DIVISION AND WE HOPE IT CONTINUES TO GROW.
WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW DIVISIONS RKS WILL ELIMINATE RUNNING ANIMAL MOTORS AGAINST FLATHEAD MOTORS. WE WANT TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD.
