June 19, 2010 (updated): The Albany-Saratoga Speedway summer karting points season opens with The Basement De-Watering Systems Night on Thursday
July 1st
with a special event for the competitors in the Senior Flathead Medium (flat kart) class and the competitors in the Senior Champ Animal Heavy class.
All the competitors who compete on Thursday night in the Senior Flathead Medium (flat kart) class and the competitors in the
Senior Champ Animal Heavy class will be invited back on Friday night to compete in a money race in front of the packed
grandstands.
The Friday Night Basement De-Watering show is the Proud to be
an American Night and features our famous fireworks show along with the regular stock car line-up and two special kart races.
On Friday night there will be no qualifying for the competitors who competed in Thursday's Senior Flathead Medium (flat kart) class or in the Senior Champ Animal Heavy class.
The Friday night line-up will be based on a random drawing of Thursday's finishing order.
Thursday night's winner for each respective class will draw for starting position. The winner will draw 1st, 2nd place draws 2nd and so on.
Each competitor's starting position in the 20 lap money race
will be based on the draw.
Each race will pay $300 to win, $100 for 2nd, $75 for 3rd and $25 for 4th.
That's $1,000 total purse money for a night of racing in front of thousands of screaming fans.
