  • July 26 - Desoto Champ Kart Series invade Citrus County Speedway

    Lock up the liquor cabinet! Hide the valuables! Notify the Citrus County Authorities! The "Thundering Herd" of the DeSoto Champ Kart Series will make their inaugural visit at the historic 3/8 mile paved oval of Citrus County Speedway on Saturday night, July 26!

    This is the 3rd Leg of the highly-competitive 2008 Florida Triple Crown Series. This is a 4-race series, with one drop allowed at four different short tracks (Feb. 9 at CCMP, May 17 at DSS, July 26 at Citrus County, Nov. 15 at Auburndale Speedway).

    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.

    Series website: http://www.desotochampkartseries.com

    Competition: In the last fifteen series events, an amazing TWELVE 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). In addition, Citrus County Speedway Open Wheel Modified Driver Greg Edwards, and his crew chief Tim Hughes, have both had this date circled on their calendars for many months, and hope to run well when the champ karts take to the track on July 26! Both Greg and Tim are DCKS champ kart veterans.

    Purses: With the additional sponsorship for this race, the estimated cash payout is expected to top $1,000! In addition to the cash purse, the series has posted the following contingency prizes for this event:

    For the WINNER of the feature:
    • A unique Eagle's Head Trophy - http://karting.4cycle.com/gallery/sh...ze=big&cat=613
    $100 CASH BONUS from CUTTING EDGE KART SHOP!! And, if owner Chase Fitzgerald wins the feature, he will decline the prize, and instead add it (an additional $100!) to the next Triple Crown feature (winner's purse)!!!
    • One free VEGA tire (right-side), if the winner's kart has VEGA's on both right side tires.

    For the SECOND and THIRD place finishers in the feature:
    • Free Clutch Rebuild Labor (any make), parts extra from CUTTING EDGE KART SHOP

    For the SIXTH place finisher in the feature:
    • Free Set-Up Session with CUTTING EDGE KART SHOP

    In addition, Victor Peters, owner of VP-Motorsports in nearby Brooksville will sponsor the heat races! They have posted $100 in CASH! (Each heat race will pay 1st-$25, 2nd-$15, 3rd-$10 - total of $50 for each heat).

    And NO, the payout and prizes don't take ONE CENT from the front gate of any track the series races at! The series generates it's own purses entirely from its own sponsorships, class entry fees, and other revenues. The series participation at each track is entirely a PLUS for every other class. The series brings fans into the front gate, purchases many pit passes, buys 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" of Florida!

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

    Think you can predict the future....? Now is your chance to prove it!

    The Desoto Champ Kart Series has created the "Champ Kart Challenge" for 2008. Each race, the Champ Kart Challenge jar will be placed on the series registration table. Any driver or person in the pits is welcomed to fill out one slip, to predict the top five feature finishers, in the correct order.

    If any driver or person in the pits correctly picks the top five feature finishers on July 26, in the correct order, he/she will win all the prizes in the jar! In addition to the $15 GiftCard for Regal Cinemas and $25 GiftCard to AppleBees , a $20 giftcard to Dairy Queen has now been added to the jar!

    If these three prizes go unclaimed, another prize will be added at the next event. The prizes will continue to build throughout the year, if noone correctly predicts the order of the top five feature finishers!!!

    And, participation is entirely FREE!!! If the Champ Kart Challenge goes unclaimed through the final race of the year, the contents of the jar will be donated to the series, to be given to the participants (either as door prizes for next year, or to be included with the 2008 year-end awards funds)!!!

    All drivers and crew, from all divisions, are welcomed to participate. Take a moment on Saturday night, to come into the Desoto Champ Kart Series pit area, to fill out a slip. You've got nothing to lose, and you just might win a few prizes!
