Back to Back at Crossroads.⚠️NEWS ALERT⚠️

🚨🚨If you finish in the Top 5 of the 12th Annual Garland Rowland Memorial on April 27th AND Win The 3rd Annual Jason Kimball Memorial 79 on May 4th. You will win an additional $1,000. πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ

This would bring the Champions winnings from $3,579 to $4,579 for The 3rd Annual Jason Kimball Memorial 79. The 3rd installment of the Jason Kimball Memorial 79 already boasts a GUARANTEED PURSE of $15,928! Possibly a $16,928 purse for only a $79 entry!

As well, I have already spoken to David Rowland and Brian Mansfield. We are going to ensure that next year, these two races that honor great people within the karting world and beyond, are at least 3-4 weeks apart. Lastly, per Brian Mansfield, if in 2025, the 4th Annual Jason Kimball Memorial 79 is prior to the 13th Annual Garland Rowland Memorial, they would plan on paying $1,000 extra to the winner with the same or similar requirements as this year.

We would like to Welcome Back Skinners Paint and Body from Live oak, Florida as a sponsor to the 3rd Annual Jason Kimball Memorial 79 on May 4th at CrossRoads Motorplex in Jasper, Florida. Fain and his family have sponsored the Jason Kimball Memorial each year thus far. As well Fain, after his car racing days ran Prowler karts. Skinners Paint and Body "We meet by accident."
 
Looking for 1, preferably 2 announcers for this event. Please email me at jcholt47@gmail.com or IM Justin Holt. I've announced it the last 2 years. However, I'd like to concentrate on the event itself. I'm trying to make this event, honoring Jason and his Family the can't miss event of the year. Having 2 awesome announcers would definitely assist in making this a reality.

Side note, I generally work 0600-0000, Monday through Friday. As well, I can not have my phone and do not have access to email while at work. I will return your email, however it may be during odd hours. Thank you.

Please Welcome back Sean Strama aka "Big Block" with Howells Auto Parts in Jacksonville Florida as the sponsor of the Hard Charger Award for the 3rd Annual Jason Kimball Memorial 79 on May 3rd and 4th at Crossroads Motorplex in Jasper, Florida. Last Year Chris Gilgen had to overcome a poor qualifying effort of 25th, finishing 7th in the B main, starting 27th in the 2nd Annual Jason Kimball memorial 79, and charging to a 5th place finish! Chris won a total of $1,258 dollars for his efforts, $679 for his fifth place run and $579 for his HARD CHARGER Performance. Not bad for only a $79 entry, where 30th place is GUARANTEED $179. Thanks again to Sean and Howells Auto Parts for coming back on board!
