Erick Rudolph Will
Travel a Long Road to Race Indoors in Atlantic City
The biggest challenge teenage racer
Erick Rudolph will face racing in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall
is not likely to be on the track. It’s the trip getting there.
The 10th edition of the event under the direction of Len Sammons
and staff is planned for Friday and Saturday nights Feb. 3-4,
2012. TQ (three quarter) Midgets, dirt 600cc Micro-Sprints,
Slingshots and Champ Karts will be in competition.
Rudolph enjoys racing so much that he will be traveling from
Ransomville, N.Y., an eight hour drive each way, to compete in
both the TQ Midget and dirt 600cc Micro Sprint races.
In excess of sixty TQ teams and nearly thirty dirt 600cc Micro
Sprint teams have entered with that number expected to grow
steadily.
“I like to race as much as I can,” said Rudolph, 19. “And it’s
been a long winter.”
With rules modifications instituted for this year’s Atlantic
City Indoor race, the opportunity for drivers to “double down” -
compete in both headline classes - has attracted a large field
of entries in both divisions.
Racers wishing to enter any of the divisions competing in
Atlantic City may find entry and rule information available at
aarn.com.
Rudolph will be exceptionally well prepared in his quest for two
wins in two races. Both of his cars were built by Mark Lafler,
one of the top car builders in the northeast.
“Indoor racing takes a lot of patience,” said Rudolph, “It’s
close quarters racing.”
The third generation race car driver got his first taste of
winter indoor racing at Niagara Falls, N.Y., a mecca for the
sport in the previous two decades. Rudolph competed in go-kart
racing events there.
