Elma, N.Y. – (May 12, 2020) – Race of Champions “Presque Isle Downs & Casino Race of Champions Festival” is set to “kick-off” this Thursday, May 14 as part of the Speed51.com eSports program. Thursday’s program will feature the Four Cylinder Dash and T.Q. Midget Series.
Drivers from their respective Race of Champions divisions will be guaranteed starters in their respective division events, as well as an open invitation for iRacers to come and compete for Race of Champions “Presque Isle Downs & Casino” Festival glory.
The Race of Champions Dash Series Four Cylinders will utilize the Volkswagen Jetta TDI as the only car permitted for competition in their 33-lap feature. The Race of Champions T.Q. Midget Series will utilize the asphalt Sprint Car, based on no asphalt midget of any type being available for competition and will be running a 39-lap feature as a tribute to the late Harry Macy.
Modeled after “Presque Isle Downs & Casino Race of Champions” Weekend, which is held at Lake Erie Speedway each September, competitors from across all divisions will have an opportunity to compete. Four Cylinders, Midgets, Street Stocks, Super Stocks, Late Models and Sportsman (SK) Modifieds will have their turn at virtual glory.
The Four Cylinder Dash Series and “T.Q. Midget Series” events will take place on Thursday, May 14 at 7:30pm.
All features will have 28-starters. Crashing in the qualifying race will eliminate a competitor from the completion of that race. There will be no “resets” used for feature race competition.
“We would all like to be at the tracks, doing what we do best,” offered Joe Skotnicki, Race of Champions. “This is an alternative to bring our folks together and highlight each division and let people have some fun. The festival idea was presented to us, so we thought we would give it a try.
