Local Joe Series 3.0!!

SRI Raceway in association with Reo Raceway is proud to announce the renewal of the Local Joe Series in 2012!

BIGGER AND BETTER

In 2011, the Local Joe Series 2.0 was a 6 race points series between SRI Raceway in Louisville, KY and Reo Raceway in Rockport, Indiana. With the focus on providing great races and giving back to the area racers, the series was a huge success as entries neared and exceeded 100 at each of the 6 stops.

In 2012, we are pleased to announce the third year of racing in this series. The goal is still the same as both tracks aim to provide local racers with with the experience of a major series at a fraction of the cost. The family atmosphere will bring in the faces we are used to seeing on a regular race weekend. The great competition will bring the racers looking to take the hardware and bragging rights back to their hometown. Will the locals be able to defend the home tracks or will someone who is not a “local joe” take away the win? The racing is going to be unbelievable, the track layouts will be top of the line and we are going to establish the area as the place to be for the best racing in the region.

Racers will be competing for trophies that can only be rivaled by the nation’s best events, as well as bragging rights to being known as the area’s best.
