MICHIANA RACEWAY PARK PREPARES FOR FIRST RACE OF 2008

TRACK CONTINUES TO INVITE NEW FAMILIES TO THE WORLD OF KART RACING

NORTH LIBERTY, IN (April 24, 2008) – This Sunday will mark the opening event of the Michiana Raceway Park Championship Series for 2008. The karting facility located just 12 miles west of South Bend, IN in nearby North Liberty has been host to thousands of kart racers over the years and people curious about what karting has to offer.
“We have worked very hard to prepare for the season,” said Garry Lobaugh, President of MRP Motorsport, the company that operates the track. “Now that the weather is nice, we expect great turn-outs and lots of friendly families that want to share their karting experiences with one another.”
Michiana Raceway Park (MRP) is a "5-Star Facility", featuring a safe and positive atmosphere with a friendly staff to service your needs while providing racers with a smooth and efficient race program that runs on schedule. There are also excellent viewing areas for family and friends to watch the event including the covered Pace Pavilion picnic area. Throw in good food and excellent amenities and MRP is the place to go racing in Michiana!
MRP also offers several programs for those that want to get involved in karting, including beginner karting schools, spectator racing, kid-kart youth programs and corporate entertainment programs.
“Karting is a great outlet for young families and young kids,” continued Lobaugh. “Not only do we have a nationally known youth program, but we also have several ways to involve adults individually or in large groups through our corporate entertainment programs.”
