Oval-track racing will begin earlier than usual in New
England this year and everyone is invited to participate, and
without having to brave the winter chill. The iRacing.com Cup
presented by HotSeat Chassis takes place February 27 through
March 1 indoors at SpeedwayEXPO. The show's attendees are
Invited to participate in a true-to-life racing experience that
matches fans against professional racers for fun and prizes,
courtesy of iRacing.com's extremely detailed computer simulation
and HotSeat's top-shelf sim-racing chassis.
Qualifying will begin on Friday evening, February 27. The top
finishers will then compete on Sunday against professionals in a
20-lap championship race. The Cup will feature one of
iRacing.com's newest car simulations, an exact digital duplicate
of an SK Modified, running on a millimeter-accurate version of
Connecticut's paved half-mile Stafford Motor Speedway. Entry is
free to SpeedwayEXPO attendees.
In addition to fun, fame and glory (and an appearance in
Speedway Illustrated Magazine), the top iRacing.com Cup
competitors at SpeedwayEXPO will win valuable prizes. Each
competitor will have an experienced sim racer available to
provide coaching as needed.
All XPO attendees will be able to take one of the iRacing.com/Hotseat
driving simulators 'out for a spin' as permitted by the
competition schedule. Registration information and rules will be
posted on the show's official website, speedwayexpo.com.
