Tires joins Little Eldora
June 23 Hoosier Hotshoe Classic Marks First Little Eldora Kart Race
Under the Lights
(LAKEVILLE, IN – May 21) - For years, Hoosier Racing Tire has been a
staple at the famed .500 mile clay oval of Eldora Speedway by
propelling race teams to victory lane with quality built racing
tires. Officials from the Lakeville, IN facility are now looking
forward to the opportunity to continue that tradition on Eldora’s
latest addition, Little Eldora Speedway. “Little E” is a 1/7 mile clay
oval kart track located in the shadows of the historic “Big E” oval.
The opportunity for Hoosier to showcase their new D30A kart tires will
be at the Hoosier Hotshoe Classic, which is slated for Saturday
evening, June 23, 2012. Four dirt kart classes have been selected to
utilize Hoosier Kart Tires for the first time in Little Eldora’s brief
three-year history. It will also mark the first night race for Little
Eldora, as temporary lighting will be brought in for the facility that
traditionally runs on Sunday afternoons.
“We are excited about this race and the introduction of product to the
dirt kart racers at Little Eldora”, said Adam Batton, Kart Product
Manager at Hoosier Racing Tire. “Our product speaks for itself on
the famous Big E and now we have the chance to prove ourselves on what
we feel is the training ground for tomorrow’s superstars.”
Of the seventeen classes of karts at the Hoosier Hotshoe Classic, four
will be mandated to use the Hoosier D30A compound on the right side.
Headlining those four will be The Senior Medium class with a $1,500
winner’s payoff at stake. Offering $200 to win will be the Senior
Heavy, Clone Heavy and Clone Lite classes.
Batton continued, “We have been in the karting business for many years,
and the word is spreading about the quality of our offerings, but the
success of our product line will certainly be augmented by getting
involved with a high profile facility like Eldora Speedway. We
are truly looking forward to this.”
The Senior Medium chase for big money will see a slight alteration to
their racing format. A traditional pill draw will line up
the karts into their two rounds of heat races, with the results of
those heats lining the karts up into qualifying features by
points. The top four finishers from each qualifying feature
will advance into the Hoosier Hotshoe Classic, with the final two
starters to be determined via a random draw from the non-qualifiers.
Each of the other classes that evening will go by their standard race
format.
