CONCORD, NC - With Contingencies coming from every direction for this years RLV Tuned Exhaust Products Gold Cup Series, World Karting and Ionic Edge Chassis Officials have just announced yet another incentive for the season opening event March 27-29 at 103rd Street Sports Complex in Jacksonville, Florida.
With the exception of the LO206 Kid Kart Class, any other class that nets 10 entries or more in the season opener will be subject to a $100 payday. The interesting twist in this scenario is the fact that the $100 may not necessarily go to the winner. Based on the current points system, drivers need to be up on the wheel in every phase of their qualifying, heat, and main event for BOTH days. The driver with the lowest point accumulation in his/her respective class over the 2-day period will thus be awarded the $100.
 
To gain a better understanding of how the point system works, if a driver wins their main, they accumulate 0 points. The $100 will be awarded at the end of the weekend to the driver with the best success in their 2 main events in their respective classes. Ties will be broken by virtue of success in qualifying. For example, if a competitor sweeps the top spot in the Junior Pro Gas Animal Lite Class Saturday, based on 10 entries or more in their class, they still have to come back strong and do their best to duplicate the same effort Sunday to be in the running for the $100.
 
With up to $1,000 available in this unique program, WKA and Ionic Edge Chassis have partnered to share an equal financial responsibility, in an increasing attempt to give back to the competitor in anyway possible.
 
Activities for the Ionic Edge Chassis Nationals will begin Friday with a full day of practice starting at 8:30am. Shootout Races for the Sportsman and Junior Pro Gas Drivers, as well as the Pro Gas Animal Money Race will follow practice, roughly at 4:45pm.
 
2 full days of qualifying, heats, and main events will follow on Saturday and Sunday, beginning with a round of practice each day at 8:30am.
