Concord, North Carolina - Following a most successful return to Daytona KartWeek as part of the famed Dirt World Championships, World Karting officials are proud to announce the transition of the Unlimited 2-Cycles from a local option class to a national points class for the balance of the 2010 racing season on the Briggs & Stratton Speedway Dirt Series, beginning with the Bordeaux Dyno Cams Nationals April 9-11 at Hurricane Raceway in Alma, Georgia.

Long time dirt sponsor Tommy’s Karts-N-Parts, the sponsor of the class at Daytona, will continue as the class sponsor for the balance of the season.

As a result of the change, combined with the understanding that Race No. 1 was listed as local option, in all fairness to competitors wishing to run the balance of events this year, the points season will begin with Race No. 2 at Hurricane. No points will be carried over from Daytona. Since the Unlimiteds only run one time during the weekend, they will also be inserted into the first day’s activities.

Also, in an effort to maintain the consistency of running the proper weight as per engine cc, drivers will be required to adhere to the following formula.
