Indoor Professional GoKart Racing is Coming to Central Illinois



January 27, 2005 -- The Trilogy Apparel Indoor Pro Kart Cup Series '05 is a three race series beginning February 20 with a Swap Meet/Trade Show in the morning and kart racing in the afternoon. Race #2 will be two weeks later on March 6 and the final Championship race will be on March 20. The overall Series Champion will be given an embroidered jacket "on the spot" with the 1st place finishers name and Pro Kart Class that they won. This will be done by the overall event race sponsor, Trilogy Apparel, which is a new store located at 311 Carver Lane, East Peoria. All race classes are sponsored which allows each class to received guaranteed cash awards. The 5 to 8 year old class is the only class not receiving money. Instead they will receive 4' tall trophies just for participating in the event.

Racing will be done on concrete floors and on Coke syrup. The racetrack is 180' long by 60' wide (on the inside) with racing lanes of 25'. Racers ages will range from 5 years old to 81 years old (karting legend Denny Sheppard of Bartonville). Kart Race entries are coming in from racers all over the Midwest and as far away as North Carolina.    
The event also includes provisions for fund raising to a Christian Outreach Program, Victory Acres and Bryan Brown, seven-year-old son of East Peoria firefighter, who has cancer and recently had a stroke. A portion of the profit from each T-shirt sale will go toward Bryan's stroke medical bills that are not covered by St. Jude.

Life long karting enthusiast, Lance Anderson, will be the flagman for the event. A memorial award will be given in memory of his son Aaron Anderson for the person at the event with the "Best Professional Attitude". Aaron was an up and coming professional racer with a great attitude. National Kart News and the Inside Track magazines will cover this Indoor Pro Kart Cup Series. These are two of the largest karting magazines in the country.
