MARGAY RACING PARTNERS WITH CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS KARTING, ANNOUNCES 2019 RACE PR

Transcription

1 Margay Racing is proud to announce that Circuit of the Americas has become its newest authorized Margay dealer and Ignite race series host. The new partnership between longtime kart industry leader Margay Racing and North Americas newest premier racing facility, Circuit of the Americas, is focused on bringing new racers to the sport of karting. Already successful in the Midwest, the Ignite race series at COTA Karting will minimize entry barriers for enthusiasts and turn race fans into racers. The spec nature of the program lessens costs while maximizing driver development. Equally prepared Margay Ignite karts featuring factory-sealed Briggs 206 engines place the emphasis squarely on the driver rather than the driver s wallet. Like everything in Texas, this is big, said Margay owner Keith Freber. Our partnership with COTA Karting marks another milestone in the continuing growth of our Ignite Karting classes 1/5

The team at COTA Karting is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional and simply does everything in a first class manner, we are thrilled to be working with them, added Freber. The full Ignite season at COTA Karting is going to be a great way to get involved in karting and hone your skills before joining us at the Ignite Majors. We are really thrilled with the opportunity to grow the karting family with our partners at COTA Karting, concluded Freber. The inaugural COTA Karting race schedule for 2019 will feature 10 races, starting with a double-header on February Joining the Ignite program will be the IAME KA100 Junior and Senior classes. Like the Briggs 206, the IAME KA100 engine has received high praise throughout the industry for its out of the box performance, parity and reliability. The simplified class structure will ensure racers get more time on track and less time in the pits, while not requiring racers to spend the entire day at the track. COTA Karting s Director Khai Nguyen stated, COTA Karting is excited to partner with Margay Racing to bring the world-class Ignite Series to Austin.
