Hoosier Racing Tire ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv® Super Tour
March 4-5: NOLA Motorsports Park -- Avondale, Louisiana
Storylines/Things to Watch:
Back to the Track – It’s been more than a month since the very first Hoosier Racing Tire ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv® Super Tour event was held January 13-15 at the historic Sebring International Raceway. The premier U.S. amateur road racing series is now back in action March 4-5 at the 16-turn, 2.75-mile NOLA Motorsports Park just southwest of New Orleans in Louisiana. This will be the second of 11 race weekends that make up the 2017 Hoosier ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Super Tour.
A Texas Invasion -- Of the more than 220 entries for this weekend’s Hoosier Super Tour at NOLA Motorsports Park, almost a third are coming from Texas for the event hosted by the ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv’s Houston Region. Florida, too, has a strong contingent planning to compete. There are even drivers that have travelled from as far away as Washington, Minnesota and Massachusetts.
The Joint will be Jumpin’ -- With six groups scheduled for racing Saturday and Sunday, there will be no shortage of exciting on-track sports car action at NOLA Motorsports Park for this second stop of the Hoosier ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Super Tour. Also going on this weekend on the kart track at the venue will be the Superkarts! USA inaugural running of the Pro Tour WinterNationals. It’s a great opportunity get a glimpse at some future ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv competitors!
What Weather? – The forecast for New Orleans this weekend shows temperatures in the 70s with only a slight chance of rain. However, this is Southern Louisiana. It’s certainly not uncommon for that forecast to change on a dime, so everyone in attendance should be prepared for a little water from the sky, which also means some H2O buildup around toes. Boots and raincoats might be wise to have on hand.
