Newton Kart Klub – Newton Cup Series This year NKK will be doing payout to the Jr Classes instead of unwanted trophies. Exceptions will be Putt-Putt and Kid Karts. I have worked out a pay scale for both adult and junior classes. The nightly payouts are half of what they would normally be. However, I also have set up a year-end series fund per class. It is based on a percentage of entry fees after payout with the percentage being higher the more karts that enter each night. It is listed on the pay schedule as to what will be set aside determined by the kart count for each class. More karts = More set aside = Bigger Purse. I would like some feed back after you look over everything and see how it will be paid out. I think this will put a new twist on racing at Newton and give every one something to strive towards all season. It is fully intended for the racer dedicated to racing a full schedule, but still allows for the driver who occasionally races @ NKK. I believe everyone chasing the coveted Duffy again this year can use this “Cup Chase” to their advantage since we will once again be hosting the Grand Nationals. Also, none of the schedule overlaps with the IKF Punch races or Iowa Speedway schedules and there are none scheduled for a holiday weekend. This should allow for everyone to participate with a winning potential. As for money nights for each class, this may make them obsolete, unless sponsors are brought in to make more money available for the nightly payout in a given class. I am working on this and will stay on it throughout the season. I have listed the payout scale for these races, but they do not reflect any sponsorship money. This would vary with the sponsored amounts. --- Congratulations to Doug Walker of Center Point, IA, on winning the Extreme Scooter 4-Wheeler raffled by the Newton Kart Klub. Doug purchased the winning ticket while attending the IKF 2-Cycle Grand Nationals to cheer on his nephew, Klein Walker. Doug wrote; “Thanks again for the 4 wheeler. My oldest son was full of smiles when he saw that on Monday night when I got home. I went to Nationals to help and cheer on my nephew, Klein Walker. I hope to be there for the Memorial race and maybe I will see you there. My oldest child is 6 years old. Thank you, Doug” Thank you to Extreme Scooter for donating the 4-wheeler.
