Lebanon, Oregon- Friday July 11th will kick off Willamette Speedway’s racing weekend with the Karts. The historic mid-valley facility will have several Kage Kart teams returning from the Wild West Shootout in Missoula, Montana. In the four previously completed events each installment have been thrilling.
General admission to the Friday Kart race will be FREE of charge. Pit Passes are $10.00 and Car and Driver fees will be $30.00. The Pit Gate will open up around 4:00 PM and Racing is scheduled to begin around 6:30.
In the Open Kage division Bricen James has won all but one race in 2014. Kyle Alberding is the only driver to have beaten him so far this year. In the 250cc action Eric Scofield leads the win column with two while Kyle Cormican and Tyler Thompson each have one. The 125cc has Kyle Roles and Connor Hanson at level pegging with two wins a piece.
In the 5HP Intermeadiate ranks Austin Sause has taken care of business winning every single race so far. In the 5HP Open Carter Patterson has two over Ben Silliker and Skyler Winebarger. Jayden Trupp has reigned supreme in the Pee Wee classification.
In Speedway Karts Jayden Kimball and Jerry Fonfara each has two wins each in the Rookies. In the Adult classification Jonathan Brown has won the last three consecutive races and Melissa Aicher has won once.
Same as last time there will be a live broadcast via Spreaker with a link to the show posted the day of the race. The broadcast is scheduled to start around 6:15-30 PM.
As usual Willamette Speedway will give the feature winners an awesome oversized check with their name on it and drivers that win in the 125cc, 250cc, and Open Kage divisions will get a FREE tire courtesy of Hoosier Racing Tires. Also all participants in non-purse classes will receive one of the awesome plaques that are exclusive to Willamette Speedway.
None of this would be possible without the great support from the folks at Scofield’s Karts & Parts, Xtreme Motorsports, James Gang Pizza, and Schram Brothers Excavating so a big thanks to all the wonderful people at those establishments.
