Series Marketing Director Jeff Swoboda was pleased that PitFit stepped up to provide such valuable education for young race drivers, “Any driver that is serious about becoming the best he or she possibly can be needs to be at this seminar. It’s free, it’s only half an hour long, it’s convenient, and it’s the kind of info that professional racing drivers pay good amounts of money for. There’s really no good excuse for anybody who is participating at anything above a casual hobby level not to come.” Those with any media or promotional inquiries should contact Jeff Swoboda at media@starsofkarting.com.
