First Annual FSAE Match Race, Oct. 26th, 2013, Lamar County Speedway, Barnesville GA

[GSKA]

Dear FSAE Competitor:


The Georgia Sprint Karting Association is proud to present the First Annual FSAE Match race at the Lamar County Speedway, October 26th, 2013. This will be a timed event held on the historic Lamar County Speedway in Barnesville GA. This first event will be open to eight FSAE cars only, so please reserve your spot as soon as possible. The track is a 1/4 mile long sprint course, averaging 20 feet in width and utilizes AMB timing equipment. Our club has medics on site during races, trained flagmen, as well as rest rooms, showers, food and drinks. The race day will be as follows:


Three 5 lap practice sessions

Three lap heat race for all teams, standing start, cumulative time for the three laps

Top four cumulative times progress to next round, same format.

Top two cumulative times progress to final, also same format.

There is no charge for the team to participate, however we do require a $10 insurance armband be purchased for each person in the pit area. Trophies will be given for first, second and third places.

The goal of this event is two-fold. First to help promote and advance the Formula SAE program and create a new venue for you to compete. The second is to promote Kart racing at our track and try to get more people interested in our sport. To that end, we would like each team to try to promote this event at their respective school as much as possible to get more people out to our track. We will also try to promote this event as much as possible as well on our end.

We now have six cars pre-entered, leaving only two spots left. The teams we have signed up are:

Georgia Tech, 2 cars
Georgia Southern, 1 car
Clemson, 2 cars
University of Alabama, 1 car.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
