Here is the Big News,
KB4 is DEAD.
Why?
Rich looked at where the biggest support was coming from and the community stepping up and saying "HEY I WANT IN!!" was all either the atv community or the DirtBike guys, so .... Sorry to say but bye bye Karts.
Of Course you can here what Rich has to say later today on Launchhour and here is the new logo-

So now you only need a bike 500cc or less and a ATV 450cc or less, who's in?????

DB4 has been renamed and will now be known as Rapid Turnover. The format remains one driver, two disciplines, but the track location is changing. We will be finalizing the location of the shoot and the filming dates within the next two weeks.

For anyone who doesn’t know what Rapid Turnover is, here’s the rundown. Rapid Turnover is a new show coming to SPEED. It is part of a new program created by Rich Christensen called Launch Hour which starts airing in July. The premise of Rapid Turnover is one driver, two disciplines. One driver must race a 500cc dirt bike and a 450cc ATV in a 20 lap heat on a dirt, oval track. Each heat begins with a LeMans style start on dirt bikes. After 5 laps, the drivers will come into the pits, sprint to their ATV, and race 5 more laps before switching back to their dirt bikes, then they finish the race with five more laps on the ATV’s. The top two drivers from each heat will move on to the finals.

Each driver must bring their own bike and ATV to the event, plus an alternate driver and a mechanic.

This show is all about the drivers and getting the maximum amount of exposure for them, and their sports on SPEED.

To sign up for the show please contact Ray Iddings at (317)893-2147.

All finalized information will be posted as soon as possible.
