Mike Jackson memorial kart race

In 2026 I am looking at moving this race to Lockhart Raceway and I am looking at a very nice sponsorship opportunity to bring reaper tires on board for people who don't know about reapers they have one tire they a very affordable set of tires for a set and they are a pull out of the box grind and a light coat of prep during the week I am wondering from you guys at lockhart raceway if you guys would be interested in running a reaper or keep it open tire i don't want to drive any of the local guys away but I also want to bring in a bunch of new guys to the track please comment your opinions on this matter I would like to bring a national level event to the northeast and you can't have a national event with out a tire company backing the race

This year we will be adding the budget predator class the class will pay out 80% payback threw the field I will post the rules here

The Xtreme Budget Predator class is designed as an economical “trophy” class, with the entry level racer in mind. The idea behind this class is to be able to bolt a box stock engine and have a chance be competitive. Any engine or engine work done that is not in the intention or spirit of these rules may be told to take it out of competition. Do not ruin this class. When you choose to play games, you only hurt the future of the sport just for a trophy. Think about it.
