at the track during the 2012 season.
There’s a buzz in the air about the 2012 season. It’s been announced that all Florida Pro Challenge races will pay $500 to win. That’s every race, not just a few. The rules have been set in stone according to Pro Challenge rep Howard Brennan. There are three requirements:
• You must be a Pro Challenge member at the start of the Florida season
• You must be 100% Pro Challenge legal
• You must go by the Pro Challenge rules
Out of state Pro Challenge members are welcome to compete and are encouraged to do so as long as they fulfill the above requirements.
The $500 to win purse sets a high standard in the racing community, especially in today’s economy. Pro Challenge and its members feel that the Pro Challenge cars and trucks are the best bang for the buck. As other classes have fallen off in car count and purses, Pro Challenge has done the opposite. Other racers in other divisions have been approaching Pro Challenge car owners asking many questions with enthusiasm. Most saying that for the price and running cost and with those kind purses, it’s a no brainer.
Brennan stated that “The interest has been remarkable. We at Pro Challenge think we have the best product out there (naturally!) in scaled race cars in the nation. We fully intend to push forward to increase our car count and keep improving our product.”
He continues that “Good clean racing falling under national rules can, and will, bring nothing but excellent Saturday night racing.” Brennan invites everyone to “Go to our Florida website www.ProChallengeRacingOfFlorida.com and take a look…then call me if you have any questions.”
