~~176 Entries~~
Thanks for your continued support!!
Three consolation races; 176 entries, a half built scoring tower, stale humid weather, and a fast track made for some awesome, three wide at times, racing in this, the largest kart count Atoka Raceway Park has ever seen. And we did it all by 12:50am, and was delayed over 30 minutes starting, and we had a power failure that took another 15 minutes.
It was truly a night of family enjoyment. Kids playing in the newly sodded play area and fans in all four grandstands, being apart of some of the best short track kart racing in the mid-south area.
We had first time winners, Lane Templeton, and Cole Ward in our Junior Novice Class. Brian Malone, took the top honor in the Stock Heavy Survivor Series Race, a one-caution-feature with some awesome close racing green-to-checker.
We also had a vandal. A night full of fun and intense racing had to be marred by the action of one individual who took his frustrations out on our new Men's bathroom facilities, ripping a stall door off its hinges, and doing damage to the fixtures in the room. We have worked very hard over the last six months to upgrade our facility and this un-called-for act will not go unnoticed and as soon as eyewitness accounts are documented, we will take appropriate action.
But this action will not deter our conviction to bring you the best in short dirt track kart racing in the mid-south area.
We appreciate everyone's support, and we hope you will continue to race with us at ARP for the remainder of the 2002 season!!!

We have decided to take the third, fourth, and fifth place points, combine them and give out three equal sets of points due to the confusion and to be fair to the racers involved. |
