OUTLAW KARTS BACK IN BAKERSFIELD THIS FRIDAY  

BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA (February 13, 2018) – The fast-growing Open Outlaw Karts at Bakersfield Karting Experience continues this Friday night, with racing on the indoor 1/10th mile dirt oval. The 25-lap feature will pay $400 to win out of a $1000 purse for a series that has averaged 20 entries in its inaugural season.

Bakersfield Pro Stock champion Tim Randolph won the series debut in December before IMCA Modified standout Ethan Dotson claimed round two. The Bakersfield Indoor Kart Nationals in January say the preliminary $400 to win to Bakersfield Speedway Modified champion Brad Pounds.  Bakersfield Kart Raceway veteran Tate Sanders won the $1000 finale of the nationals.  Pounds currently enjoys a 22 point advantage in the standings.

With all four races swept by Bakersfield drivers and no repeat winners so far, the competition level will be intense heading into round five. Drivers such Larry Moody and Bryan Watson – 2ndand 3rd in points respectively – will be looking to get their shot on top of the podium on Friday.

General admission tickets will be $10 for Friday night with live music adding to the festivities.  Pit gates open at 2 p.m. with drivers meeting at 6:30 p.m. and racing at 7 p.m.  Pit passes are $20.

The state of the art facility is Bakersfield’s newest complete entertainment venue, with RC car racing, oval dirt kart racing, golf simulator, arcade games, and food and drink specials.  BKE is open to the public 7 days a week with karts available for rent for a single race or for group outings.  Birthday parties and private room rentals round out the extensive options for a night out or for a great get together.
