Never let it be said that TAG^TM Racing International and TAG^TM USA doesn't listen to our racers.  We have heard the cries of discontent from you regarding the Tire Voucher for the 2006 TAG^TM World Championships.  Our goal is to make this a great event for everyone.  However, due to Sponsor contracts, we are unable to eliminate the program.  Even though we cannot eliminate the program, Grand Products has graciously agreed to help by offering a more palatable price for the product.  The Tire Voucher form will not change, but the cost will go down to $160 per set.  For anyone who has already sent in your Tire Voucher - your credit cards have not been charged at this point.  As such, you will only be charged the $160 price.  We hope this makes it easier for you all to attend our event and we look forward to seeing you there.

For Immediate Release: Effective September 28, 2006

TAG^TM Racing International and TAG^TM USA are pleased to announce two new classes for the 2007 Racing Season; these classes are being added to the ever growing current program.  The new additions are the TAG^TM 4-Stroke and TAG^TM Shifter classes.  The new TAG^TM 4-Stroke class will consist of the new Vampire, Biland and Oral racing engines.  These engines will run for the first time at the 2006 TAG^TM World Championships.  All will be on display at New Castle Motorsports Park.  A representative from the manufacturers will be at the race to answer any and all questions regarding the new engines.

The new TAG^TM Shifter class will consist of the new electric start ICC engines.  All engines will have the same PVL ignition system with an RPM limit of 14000 RPM and cylinders will have no boost ports.  We have tested the new TM TAG^TM ICC and we are very excited about the new engines.  Italian Motors' Claudio Valiante said, "We are excited to have the TM K9BES included in the TAG^TM Racing International program.  It really is a logical progression for the TAG^TM  format and I'm sure it will enhance the programs availability to all levels of drivers."  He went on to say, "The engine has been designed to have the same reliability and longevity characteristics that TAG^TM engines have become known for.  We feel this user friendly package will increase participation at TAG^TM events and allows for a cost effective way for people to run a shifter program."

The new TAG^TM Shifter program is in no way intended to replace and/or change the ever growing Stock Moto class.

The 2006 TAG^TM World Championships are just around the corner and we wanted to get some reminders out.  The new TAG^TM Cadet 2 class will be the new Italian Federation engines only and all of these engines will compete as intended with no modifications.  The TAG^TM Cadet 1 class will be the Gazelle and Easykart engines only.  Fuel: the mixture has been posted on the fuel vouchers, oil will be 8 ounces maximum and all engines will run MS98 (see fuel vouchers).

The TAG^TM Senior Pro class has been added and will pay a purse back to the drivers.  The new TAG^TM 4-Stroke class will run 1 heat on Saturday and 1 heat and a main on Sunday.  Pre-tech: You will receive a pre-tech form with your package at sign in and you must fill it out and turn in when you come to pre-grid for qualifying or you will not be allowed out to qualify.

We welcome another sponsor from the Indianapolis area, Impact Racing.  We look forward to them displaying and contributing to the event.

Thank you for your support.
