Title: Kroger Speedfest Details
Post by: ANB1 on July 06, 2009, 11:22:06 AM
Anyone have the details / schedule for the Kroger Speedfest .25 event at ORP yet?  Even a rough idea on schedule would be helpful at this point.  Thanks for the help,

Aaron-

The .25 Midget race will be running in the morning, early afternoon.  We will post more details next week once we get through the Nationals.

What's the deal with this? Our board says it's not a race now?

I'm pretty disappointed about this, especially as it has been on the schedule forever and then to cancel a week prior isn't right.

They could not get a track configuration that would make for good racing.  Yes it shuld have been looked at before now.  Anyway, come to Whiteland Sunday if you want to race.  The track makes for some competitive racing.  It is big.  Browder there should be a decent group of Jr. Hondas.

We apologize for the last minute notice, the track has been very hectic as have we. 

We felt that instead of running a configuration that we did not deem appropriate it was in our best interest not to run the race.  We do have discounted tickets for our USAC .25 racers and families that want to come out and watch the nights activities.  Feel free to call or email me at the office to get more info.

As someone pointed out the Indy .25 club will be racing this weekend for those who need their racing fix.

We hope to see everyone at the Inaugural "Little Hoosier 100" July 31-Aug1.

It's not the first time a race has been canceled. It sucks, but I understand completely. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I assume such late notice means they tried everything they could. Hope to see some of you guys out there watching anyways.

Whiteland is the temporary home of INDY.25.  It is a 1/10th mile oval that is real fast and challenging.   The handlers do rent go karts and run the oval after every race.  They have fast karts powered by GX270 Hondas.  It sure makes for a sore "day after".

INDY.25 will be hosting a "Midwest Thunder Series" points race on Aug. 15th at Whiteland Raceway Park. We only have one club race left between now and then and that is on Sunday Aug. 2nd.

Is the Aug 15th race a Midwest Thunder race or a Gen Next race?

The Aug. 15th race is a Midwest Thunder Series points race. It is not a Gen Next race.
