LIKA Continues Improvements
On Sunday, July 17th is the LIKA Race #6
and the Vanderbilt Race #3 at the Nassau Veterans Memorial
Coliseum. Gates will open at 7:30am with on track activities to
start around 9:00am.
Track Repairs Completed:
I want to let everyone know that repairs
to the track were made this week. Both “bumps” on the long
straightaway were repaired. The bump at the end of the
straightaway and the holes after the first hairpin turn have
also all been addressed. These repairs were made by the guys at
Varsity Asphalt and should allow for some nice smooth racing.
Check out our Facebook page for more photos of the track
repairs.
Transponders:
If you pre-ordered a transponder with
Chris at the LIKA Registration Desk, the transponders have come
in. The club was able to negotiate a good price as part of the
bulk purchase. You can pick up your transponder at Sunday’s
race. The price for the transponder is $260.00. This is a $40.00
savings off of the suggested retail price. We do have a few
extra transponders, so there is still some time to get one at
the discounted price.
MG Tires Distributor:
Long Island Karting Association is now a
MG Tire Distributor. Because of the club’s relationship with MG
Tires, we have been able to become a local distributor. We will
be selling MG Tires through our existing vendors that support
the club. If you are a racer and need tires, contact one of our
vendors. If you are a karting vendor, club or track owner and
need tires, please contact me directly.
Scoring and Registration Trailer:
The new Scoring and Race Registration
trailer will be at this Sunday’s race. This trailer will make
setup and take down of Scoring much easier. It will also provide
for a secure location for Race Registration. The Grid Board will
be mounted to the side door of the trailer for easy viewing and
the PA system will be mounted to the roof for greater coverage.
This trailer will be a great addition to the LIKA race day.
