2016 MG TIRES COLORADO SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES ESTABLISHED
“New series for Colorado region sprint racing community”
Following the successful footsteps of MAXSpeed Entertainment’s US Open series program, a new regional program has been established for Colorado region sprint kart racers. Featuring Shifter and Rotax classes with support from MG Tires and MAXSpeed, the new series schedule will stop at four Super Colorado Sprint tracks and fill a void for drivers in the region.
“This series is an opportunity to bring Colorado karting together once again after several years of fragmentation,” said Stacey Cook of Grand Junction Motor Speedway. “The tracks are all excited to be working together to bring a really good and affordable regional program.”
The 2016 MG Tires Colorado Sprint Championship will encompass the following classes:
