Seedtick Raceway
Racing Under the Lights on
Friday Nights
Operated by:
PRINCETON SPEEDWAY KARTING ASSOCIATION, INC.
We would like to give you a little bit of information and history of our track. Our race schedule is slated to start on 4/14/ 2012 and will be held at Seedtick Raceway, located 2 miles east of Princeton, IN off of US 41. 2012 will be the twentieth racing season of the Princeton Speedway Karting Association, Inc. (PSKA) at Seedtick Raceway. Go-kart racing was previously operated under the name of Fairground Raceway LTD., Inc. This was a private, for profit organization, but with the steady growing field of karts, limited manpower, and full-time jobs, the investors starting dropping out one by one until it became apparent that without some form of reorganization, kart racing was about to cease to exist in the Princeton area. Racers and others concerned about karting in our area held a meeting to see if there was enough interest to form a club-type organization. Thus the birth of PSKA became a reality. After two monthly meetings there was a membership of approximately forty. We then formed a not-for-profit organization and set in motion the wheels for a very organized racing club. This included a set of track rules, a pre-set racing schedule, and the formation of an association tech team. In 1992 we moved locations from the fairgrounds to 6 acres leased from Danny Memmer. Almost all of the work to build the new track was done by members of our club. Equipment needed to build the track (tractors, land movers, backhoes, etc.) was loaned to us from helpful neighbors and friends of our members.
With added improvements to the track again this year we are expecting bigger and better things for the 2012 racing season. Some of our goals for this season include trying to draw a bigger number of spectators through better organization and advertising. Most of the people in and around Princeton have seen the lights but do not even know that the track exists. We also plan to have added money races again this year, add more dirt to the track and promote good wholesome entertainment for everyone. Hopefully with the growth of our association we will be able to make most of the goals materialize, especially with the large number of karts that we had last year and expect back plus more this year. The more karts you have, the better the competition, and the better the competition the more spectators will come, and the more spectators that come will help make us more financially secure. Thus enabling us to make our goals a reality.
There are a number of youth and adult classes offered for competitors. There's even a 35 and over class for those racers who are still young at heart. They can still have fun and not feel the pressure of competing with the young guns.
The newly elected Officers and Directors for the 2012 season are eager to make some more positives changes, and get the season started right where we left off in 2012.
