The "Thundering Herd" of the Desoto Champ Kart Series will make it's second appearance of 2008 at Charlotte County Motorsports Park in Punta Gorda, on Saturday night, April 12. The series would like to welcome any interested or curious folks to come into the pit area, to meet our drivers and crews. This series has some of the friendliest racers and crew anywhere.

Competition: All three DCKS features in 2008 have been won on a last lap pass for the win! Will it be four in a row, on April 12!!??
Stars: Think this is just a "go kart" series....?? In last Saturday night's race in Bradenton, the 2007 TBARA Sprint Car Series champion Troy Decaire participated (finishing second), along with FASCAR Truck driver Barry Bartlett (finished seventh). You can hear Troy's Victory Lane interview at the following link:

Turnouts: In the first three shows of 2008, the DCKS has averaged 25.3 entries!!
Purses: The cash payouts for DCKS features have been healthy this year. In addition, we have contingency sponsors for every race. And NO, our purses don't take ONE CENT from the front gate of any track we race at! The series generates it's own purses entirely from our own sponsorships, class entry fees, and other revenues. So, our participation at each track is entirely a PLUS for every other class. We bring fans into the front gate, buy a lot of pit passes, buy concessions, etc., all of which puts extra dollars into the other class payouts that night. Our racers are simply grateful to be able to race at the "big tracks"!
Cost: As with any division, a racer who wants to spend a lot of money can find all sorts of things to spend it on. But, consider this.... The Dec. 1 feature at CCMP was won with a 12-year old chassis, that the racer found on the Internet for $200! Look for it on April 12 to again run near the front of the pack (the #57 kart).
The Desoto Champ Kart Series - A little different.... where racing is fun again!
