Lebanon, Oregon- For the seventh time in 2014 the Karts will be in action at Willamette Speedway. Already the year has been fantastic and the Friday August 1st event will no doubt continue that trend. It’s also very important track time for these teams as the Summer Sizzle Tour is near.
Also this event will host a live broadcast over Spreaker radio. The show is expected to get underway around 6:30-45 PM and links to the audio will be found at http://www.spreaker.com/show/willamette-kart-race-7 .
