Hello all,
Was wondering if anybody was interested in finding teammates to run this overnight endurance event in Las Vegas, USA at their SuperNationals Event? I know its a long way from most people on this forum, but a vacation may be in order and what better place than Vegas!
Heres a little about the event, respond if you have any interest. Looks like about 1800GBP per team. Teams from Canada, US, and Mexico are already confirmed:
500 Lap Overnight Endurance Event to return to 2009 SuperNats
FONTANA, CA (July 7th, 2009) - Karting Ventures Inc. has announced the sophomore edition of the wildly popular ‘Machismo 500’, an overnight endurance event held in conjunction with the SKUSA SuperNationals in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event, a 500 lap team endurance race, will run Saturday November 21st to Sunday November 22nd on the ¾ mile temporary circuit just outside the Rio Hotel and Casino doors.
The inaugural 2008 edition of the Machismo 500 saw competitors such as Alex Tagliani and Boris Said go wheel to wheel as the sun came up over the famed ‘Vegas Strip’ in the background. This year’s event is sure to see even more top-level talent, as well as a new multi-class structure inspired by Le Mans sports car racing. Teams will have the option to compete in the ‘Sport Class’ featuring indoor-style karts powered by 270cc Honda engines (as featured in the 2008 edition of the Machismo 500), or they may opt to compete in the all-new ‘Pro Class’ which will feature the higher horsepower 390cc Honda Engine on an open-wheel chassis. Teams that take advantage of pre-registration pricing will be able to secure a ‘Sport Class’ team for just $2499, while ‘Pro Class’ team pricing is set at $2999 and is limited to only 10 seats. A $500 deposit is required by any team looking to secure a seat in either class.
The addition of a highly professional arrive & drive endurance event to the world famous SKUSA SuperNationals is something both competitive and recreational racers alike have been looking forward to for quite some time. The race is expected to see a wide range of talent from indoor karting enthusiasts to open-wheel racing stars competing side by side in evenly prepared, equally matched equipment, meaning the race will ultimately be determined by driver skill, team strategy, and a little bit of luck!
