iRacing.com Cup starts Feb. 27 |
|
Oval-track racing will begin earlier than usual in New England this year and everyone is invited to participate, and without having to brave the winter chill. The iRacing.com Cup presented by HotSeat Chassis takes place Feb. 27 through March 1 indoors at SpeedwayEXPO. The show's attendees are invited to participate in a true-to-life racing experience that matches fans against professional racers for fun and prizes, courtesy of iRacing.com's extremely detailed computer simulation and HotSeat's top-shelf sim-racing chassis.
Qualifying will begin on Feb. 27. The top finishers will then compete on Sunday against professionals in a 20-lap championship race. The cup will feature one of iRacing.com's newest car simulations, an exact digital duplicate of an SK Modified, running on a millimeter-accurate version of Connecticut's paved half-mile Stafford Motor Speedway. Entry is free to SpeedwayEXPO attendees.
Produced by Speedway Illustrated Magazine and sponsored by Sunoco, SpeedwayEXPO will be at the Big E in West Springfield Feb. 27 through March 1. It is the largest event for drivers, teams, tracks, and racing vendors in the Northeast. SpeedwayEXPO will launch the 2009 racing season with more than 200 new race cars and old favorites, and hundreds of exhibits for drivers, crews, and fans from a dozen states and Canada. Thousands of enthusiasts pack more than 130,000 square feet of exhibit space to take part in seminars and demonstrations; see retailers of racing gear and memorabilia; and meet today's and yesterday's racing celebrities.
In addition to fun, fame and glory (and an appearance in Speedway Illustrated Magazine), the top iRacing.com Cup competitors at SpeedwayEXPO will win valuable prizes. Each competitor will have an experienced sim racer available to provide coaching as needed.
All EXPO attendees will be able to take one of the iRacing.com/Hotseat driving simulators "out for a spin" as permitted by the competition schedule. Registration information and rules will be posted on the show's official Web site, speedwayexpo.com.
Coupons ($5 off) for discount admission to SpeedwayEXPO will soon be available at more than 160 participating Sunoco dealers throughout New England. Tickets can also be purchased in advance to save $5 off the price at the gate ($16 for adults, children 10 and under free).
