Guys, just got this announcement from the US:
Ladies and Gentlemen,
If i may take a moment of your time and allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bernie Adamson and I am the promoter of the United States Kart Grand Prix. Some of you i know personally and i have already spoken with or e-mailed.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to come to VIRginia International Raceway over the weekend of December 14-16, 2007 for the second running of the "United States Kart Grand Prix".
I have had response's back from several of the Europeans who are prominent in the field of Superkarts who have said that they are coming as well as Mr.Sam Zavaglia and Mr.Brian Stockman from Australia along with Mr.Trevor Roberts and Mr.Ian Harrison.
Mr.Ian Rushforth will be a spectator for the weekend and Mr.Ken Walker has graciously accepted the announcer position.
We believe that this has the potential to have the largest group of Superkarts assembled at one time and venue in the United States and is a perfect opportunity for the Superkart community ro show off these beautiful machines. Not only that but as i am sure some of you have looked at the e-mail addresses you can see we have invited the Worlds top drivers to race.
At this time there will be a Twenty Seven Thousand US Dollar Purse for the classes that are running.
Formula E and ICE will both have a $5000 purse along with a pole position award and fast lap awards.
This will also be the first time in history that the Grand East Course has been run by karts. VIR is truly an exceptional facility and the staff second to none.
Temperatures for Southern Virginia taken over a 10 year Average, are approximately 53 degrees...last year we had 70 degree weather for the entire weekend. Precipitation is very low but can never be ruled out so consequently the race is being held "Rain or Shine".
Here is a link to the story that has been running on Ekarting News : http://www.ekartingnews.com/news_info.php?n=7669
Speeds over the weekend will vary from approx 63mph for the cadets to somewhere in the 150mph range for the Superkarts.
I have included a link to a video of what the 4 mile circuit looks like.

Thank you all for your time and I look forward to hearing back from each and every one of you. If nothing else would you be as kind as to spread the word amongst any of your friends, clients and customers.
And before i forget, NO we do not have any licensing requirements. We are an Independent not associated with any organization.
Yours in Karting
Bernie Adamson
