NEXT EVENT - Grattan Raceway!

Next event on the TKZ Racing calendar is scheduled for the weekend of July 16-17 at Grattan Raceway. 

Championship Enduro Series is hosting the weekend event at the newly re-paved Grattan Raceway. This should be a great event with the new pavement. Many kart racers have chosen not to attend the Grattan events due to the deteriorating pavement at the track. I had a chance to dive on the new pavement and think the racers with be pleased! I remember the days of 100+ shifters lining up for the green flag!! And look forward to those days coming back. This year should be the start of the rebuilding of the road racing in the Midwest.

My plan is to race the stock moto in the modified class, and my Rotax in the Tag class. I hold the track record for the stock moto and expect to be competitive with it racing in the modified shifter class. I will not be fighting for the lead...but considering I am about 8-10hp less than the modifieds...I enjoy the challenge.

The tag class always has a strong competitive field at Grattan that will make for some great racing. The tag karts race at the same time as the stock-moto class, thus my need to race my stock-moto with the modified shifters. I always like to race both my shifter and tag kart at Grattan :)

This track has continued to be my favorite place to race since my first time driving there...I look forward to a good time again this year!
