Possum Kingdom Super Speedway is under new ownership for the 2012 go kart racing season, and the new management is very excited and enthusiastic about the upcoming racing season. Jason Owens will be assisting with track preparation throughout the month of February until the new owner, Jayson Brown, can learn the ropes. Possum Kingdom Super Speedway is a great facility and a great place to kick off the 2012 season.

This will be the biggest season opener in the history of the Tri-State Pro Series with more than $40,000 in purses and prizes on the line. The main event for the weekend will be a Pro Clone fifty lap feature that will pay a whopping $10,000 to win on a $95 entry fee. Everyone who enters will compete.

We expect a great kart count in this class also, with local talent and commitments from Champ racers throughout the southeastern US.
