June 7 at CCMP in Punta Gorda - Desoto Champ Kart Series

[Desoto Champ Kart Series]

The "Thundering Herd" of the Desoto Champ Kart Series will make it's fourth appearance of 2008 at Charlotte County Motorsports Park in Punta Gorda, on Saturday night, June 7.

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: In the last thirteen series events, ELEVEN different winners have triumphed!

Stars: Think this is just a "go kart" series....?? Already this season, 2007 TBARA Sprint Car Series champion Troy Decaire has participated once (finishing second), along with FASCAR Truck driver Barry Bartlett (finished seventh). Late Model and Open Wheel Modified Driver Dustin Chisholm has also competed with the series (finishing second), along with dirt late model driver Johnny Allen (finishing fourth).

Purses: The cash payouts for our CCMP DCKS features have been healthy this year (typically over $1000 at each event). 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. The series 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"!

The Desoto Champ Kart Series - A little different.... where racing is fun again!

Hey Phill

How many carts do you expect the 7th? I plan to be there to shoot the races. I have a late model race in Ocala the 6th but I plan be at CCMP Saturday. Bob.........

It's hard to predict what the field size will be on June 7, because there is a $2,000 to win race that day in Fruitland Park (1/5 mile dirt track) that a few of the racers will be going to.

However, a good estimate might be 15-20 entries.

Hope to see you at the track on June 7, our guys really enjoy your videos!
