June> 2011
The board has met and since there is no support for going to Citrus County Speedway, we will try a couple of 4 or 5 race series at different venues. We are currently looking for these venues but asphalt tracks are getting farther away and fewer in number. TriCity Kart Club has not gone anywhere!!! We are re-tooling to race. This hasn't been easy with the economy, the rumors and the other problems we have had to endure in the past. We are trying our best to keep this club alive and racing. In the mean time East Bay races on Friday nights, Auburndale is Saturday morning, you also have Orlando, Ocala and Dirt Devil, etc. Orlando and Ocala are paved facilities. TriCity Kart Club is actively working on putting together a race series with a twist. We need your help in determining which way we want to move for the first race. A large money race, maybe an endurance race from 2 to 6 hours also what tracks you most favor. These are some of the ideas we are thinking about, please give us your feedback.
We want to Thank You for your support and we will let you know about the TCKC program as soon as possible.

The October turn out was light due to many events happening that weekend. November looks to be real strong and a good time will be had by all. Come on out and turn those wheels.
9/2010
Opening day of the 2010-2011 race season is now in the books. Wow!!! what a great day for racing, even a brief shower couldn't slow things down. We had 2 Cycles, 4 Cycles, Champs and Clones. The Clones put on a fantastic show and was enjoyed by all.
Blow the dust off those Karts and make the trip to Citrus, you won't be disappointed. What a great track, power in the pits and clean bathrooms.
Contact Terry Scampton for details and info.

5/2010 Citrus County Speedway - Race Day "Need To Knows"
"Consessions" will "Not" be open for our events at this time.. We will be working on getting our own consessions going but in the mean time you must > Bring Your Own Food and Beverages ////////////////////// At this time we will "Not" have Vendor Trackside Support.. We will do our best to build an inventory of Basic Emergency Repair Items and Fuel. Most of you already have what you need so this shouldn't be a problem. /////////////////////// Please keep in mind that we are a club and will be going back to our roots of having club members volunteer for race day duties. It will now be manditory that all members volunteer for no less than two race days a year for various duties, Corner workers, Gate help and more. You can still race and manage your task, we will gladly work with you. /////////////////////// So far this looks to be a great venue for us to continue the sport we all love. We ask for your continued support and tell your friends and get them back out racing with us.
It's the same distance from Tampa to Citrus County Speedway as Tampa to Desoto Speedway The Time Is The Same
We Appreciate Your Support, The Board
