Ian shared his thoughts ahead of the race \u2013 \u201cLast year was\nmy 1st<\/sup> race ever.  There was a\nlot to learn and take in at the event.  I\nreally enjoyed myself and hope that we can go out and have another great run.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Nonnamaker has been getting extra seat time this past\nyear.  In particular at the K1 Speed\nIndoor Kart track in North Canton, Ohio.  This included the recent 1st<\/sup> ever 12\nHour Endurance event, where Team Sahlen secured 4th<\/sup> place with Will\nand Wayne Nonnamaker driving. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nWill shared this experience \u2013 \u201cThe 12 hours was contested with electric karts.  And this weekend we will be racing in gas\nkarts.  Although there are similarities,\nthere is also a different way you have to drive between electric and gas karts.\nI think the biggest similarities in the 2 races will be the focus it takes to\nhit your marks lap after lap to produce consistently fast laps.  I know that no matter what, we will have\ngreat fun racing at this wonderful Pitt Kart Race Track.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice starts at 8 am. \nThen qualifying will be held at 10:45 am.  Pre-race ceremonies will be held at 10:50 am and\nthe green flag will drop at 11:15 am. \nThe race start will be classic \u201cLeMans\u201d style with drivers lined up across\nthe track from their karts.  As the green\nflag drops, the drivers rush to their karts and jump in and go. The race will\nconclude at 5:15 pm.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
