THANKS again to Mitch Smith and Sunny-South Motorsports for putting up the $1,500 prize money for these two races. Thanks to this donation, all of the entry fees ($30 per racer) for these two races will be donated to the Moore Benefit Fund.

If you have questions, plz post it, send me a PM or call Ronald at 228-669-3324 and we’ll do our best to answer them.

If things go as expected, we should have a packed house this Saturday, including many people that have never been to a kart racing event. In addition to raising money for Lexi and her family, we hope to introduce a bunch of people to the sport that we all love.

We are VERY EXCITED about this weekend! We can’t wait to see all of our ‘regulars’ and we are also looking forward to meeting ALL of the new racers that will be coming to GMP for the first time (or for first time this season).

5 days and counting!
