The first year of the AMSOIL Great American CIRCLE TRACK Tour will take Senior Tech Editor, Bob Bolles, to 25 race tracks throughout the Southeastern United States during a four month period. Each stop will be pre-arranged with track owners and promoters ensuring the maximum possible exposure through advance announcements, local publicity and press releases. While at the track, Bob will meet with the racers to talk shop and discuss issues important to their racing and also to distribute sponsor information, literature and promo items. He will talk one on one with the top teams in all divisions racing at each track in a unique exchange that will be shared with our larger online audience through blogs and web exclusive articles at www.circletrack.com.
This interaction with the racers will be reported in more detail through a series of articles published in the pages of CIRCLE TRACK Magazine on a monthly basis. Feature stories will review the trip and discuss the technology of racing and how it varies throughout the regions we visit. During the entire Tour, Bob will share his experiences online with daily entries into a special trip blog where our friends can keep track of our progress. The tour promises to be the most innovative program in the history of short track racing. Bob had the idea for a tour like this more than five years ago, but circumstances at the time prevented it from coming to fruition. When current Editor Rob Fisher heard about the idea he liked it and the pair worked to refine the concept for launch in 2010. When synthetic lubricant manufacturer AMSOIL joined the tour as title sponsor, it was off to the races...literally.
The first event will be at the Citrus County Speedway in Inverness, Fla. on February 20.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
