2003 & 2004 STATES ON TV ? Rumor has it that Joe Capocati from Dragon Lake Media will be on hand to give us an update on the 2003 Rotax Max State Championships television broadcast. Dragon Lakes' office is located about 20 minutes from the Moroso facility, and Joe called me earlier this week to say the show is almost complete. Joe has also generously offered to produce another show for us, at no cost, to "make up" for the delay in finishing the 2003 show. I'm sure we're all looking forward to seeing Joe at the event.

Any additional regulations or amendments to these regulations will be posted in the "FK NEWS" section at www.formulakart.com. Check there for updates.
