YNOT – The championship series of kart racing, the YNOT Grand Prix, will make a pit stop during the popular Phoenix Forum March 30. A faster-paced alternative to golf, the YNOT Grand Prix tournament will take place at the F1 Race Factory in Phoenix, starting at 3 p.m.
“These aren’t the kinds of karts you’d find kids driving at some miniature golf center,” said YNOT Group President Connor Young. “We’re talking speeds of over 45 miles per hour for 12-16 laps. F1 has two quarter-mile tracks, and your speeds are electronically measured and displayed on the scoreboard.
“If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, this is it,” he said.
YNOT Grand Prix drivers can compete on two fronts. Teams of four drivers each will compete against each other, and trophies also will be reserved for the fastest individual drivers. Team and individual results tables will be posted on the YNOT Grand Prix website after each race in the series, which for 2011 includes Phoenix, San Francisco and Prague. At the end of the season, the team with the most points will be awarded the YNOT Grand Prix Championship Cup. Trophies also will be awarded at each event for the top team.
“Entering a team into the YNOT Grand Prix is a fun and affordable way to get your company noticed,” said LAJ, who heads up sales and marketing for YNOT Group. “For less than the cost of most magazine ads, you’ll get a team with spots for four drivers at Phoenix, and you can pick your drivers. You’ll get regular promotion including a banner spot on the YNOTGP.com website, and you’ll get promotion at the event itself. You will also get four sets of team racing gloves and t-shirts with your company’s logo imprinted on them, which will help you get your team pumped up for the race.”
LAJ also said humility has no place in kart racing.
“If your team wins, you’ll be the star of all the post-event publicity, and you’ll have bragging rights until the next event,” he noted. “By all means, winners should feel free to rub that in the faces of the losers.”
