 TRACKSIDE NEWS

 Today’s young drivers start racing at age ‘5’ and up to age ‘17’ they’re on the tracks, getting in thousands of laps, and hundreds of races in, AKA seat time. . .

 But they’re still missing something, these drivers are not receiving as much public exposure and gaining the extremely important experience of learning to work with the media, at some point parent’s should come to the realization, the media can be your ‘Kids’ Best Friend, providing you understand what the media really needs, as well as what the big leagues in racing will expect from you ‘Kid’ driver, as they climb through the ranks . . .

Looking forward to assisting you with your 'Kids' on the kigi radio show, have questions? Call Ambassador today! 813.634.1076

Yours in racing, Ms. Debi Speed

     'Kart Racing' Opens With Anticipation at East Bay Raceway, Tampa Florida

      EAST BAY RACEWAY PARK, obviously did their research, the idea of providing Kart Events on Friday Nights, since a majority of the Kart Tracks run 'Dirt' on Saturday, and 'Asphalt' on Sundays, brought kudos, from the families who already race cars on Saturday nights on the big-track, as the new Kart Racing Season was set to begin on 02.21.03 it turned out to be a wash-out literally, why, because no thanks to Mother 'Nature' it rained...

    The next race wouldn't take place until March, the proposed schedule called for racing every other Friday, & only time would tell, if the Kart Racers could hold out that long between races, as the summer months began, Mother 'Nature' surely tried her best to saturate the track on several occasions, causing even more frustrations, among the drivers & teams, leading management of E. B. R. P. to make the schedule for the remaining season, every Friday Night!

    No sad faces have been seen since the announcement... So as racers circulate the good news, among themselves, as well as to any others, who may not be aware of the additional race dates, as every racer will agree, 'if your into racing, you'll go to a race seven days a week, if you could! 

'Gangster' MOB Taking Control of Kart Racing at East Bay, Tampa Florida

The words out, this MOB of "gangsters" are putting the pressure on, no they are not asking for extortion money, they're just looking to collect their fair share of the Trophies...

Tim Simmons of Ruskin, Florida was first introduced to Karts at Ambassador Racing School, he's been racing a 'Gangster' sprint chassis at E. B. R. P.. Simmons who has had a taste of winning on the asphalt, earned a Championship title, in his 1st year of oval asphalt racing, he also practices between races at the Ambassador Track, maybe that's why he's looking pretty much at home on the dirt track as well. As of 08.22.03- 5th in Stock-Light point standings

Robby Hoffman of Keysville, Florida, has also experienced top three finishes on the asphalt, with a limited amount of appearances, in his first year of racing, has returned to racing, only now he's on the dirt, at E. B. R. P., he too races a 'Gangster' sprint chassis, & practices at Ambassador. As of 08.22.03- 3rd in Stock Medium, & 6th in Stock Heavy class points standings. 

Tyler Machall of Plant City, Florida, having began his racing career in 2003, is also on a 'Gangster', and making great progress on the dirt, in the Junior Champ Class. As of 08.22.03- is 2nd in the points standings.

Mitchell Stevens of Riverview, Florida, races at both ends of the spectrum, on Sundays, with the T. B. Q. M. Club, in a Quarter-Midget, and on Fridays, a 'Gangster' Junior Champ. As of 08.22.03- is 5th in the points standings.

J. R. Garcia III of Balm, Florida, started out in Stock Medium, on a 'Gangster' sprint. As of 08.22.03- is 2nd in the points standings. He tried his luck, weighed in over at the scales, to prove his point in the Stock-Light class, has three races in this class, and As of 08.22.03- is 9th in the points standings. Just when you thought he would have had his fill of racing, he pulls out the 'Gangster' Champ Kart, late in the season, & drives three races in a row, and wins!
