We are Contrael Trimble Promotions, an organization dedicated to creating and promoting high-quality dirt kart racing series. Our mission is to deliver exciting, professionally managed events for racers and fans while supporting local communities and businesses.

We are excited to introduce the Western Pennsylvania Kart Series, a premier dirt go-kart racing series launching in our region in 2026. This three-event series will provide high-level competition and family-friendly excitement at tracks that racers know and love:

- Shaffer’s Speedway – Aliquippa, PA 15001 – May 30
- Somerset County Kartway – Meyersdale, PA 15552 – June 13
- Goodhope Speedway – New Springfield, OH – August 15

This will be the first event of its kind in Western Pennsylvania for karting enthusiasts. Although our area has passionate racers who often travel long distances for significant events, we are bringing these big events home. There has never been a major karting series here before, and our goal is to change that by creating a high-profile event that attracts competitors and fans from Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, West Virginia, Maryland, and beyond.

Our planned classes include:

- Jr1 Green Plate Clone
- Jr2 Purple Plate Clone
- Jr3 Blue Plate Clone
- Sr. Champ Clone/Animal
- 360 Clone
- 390 Clone
- 425 Clone

(Note: "Clone" and "Animal" refer to the types of engines used in these classes.)

These classes ensure competitive racing for all age groups and skill levels, making this series appealing to a diverse audience of racers and fans.

**Sponsorship Opportunities**

We are seeking sponsorships, which will go directly toward race payouts, staff, and track fees. Businesses are welcome to contribute at higher levels for even greater exposure and benefits. Your support doesn’t just help make this event possible—it enhances its scale and impact. The more sponsorship we secure, the larger the payouts we can offer. Higher payouts attract more racers from across the region, resulting in larger crowds, increased excitement, and greater visibility for your brand. Additionally, it helps establish this series as a premier event that racers will look forward to each year.

**What Does Your Business Gain?**
- **Direct Exposure:** Your company name will be announced multiple times over the PA system during race weekends.
- **Social Visibility:** Your logo will be featured in promotional materials and across social media platforms.
- **Digital Reach:** All races will be broadcast live on the DirtTV Network, providing exposure to thousands of online viewers.
- **Community Connection:** Racing weekends attract families and travelers who spend money locally—benefiting hotels, restaurants, and small businesses—your sponsorship positions you as a supporter of local growth and family-oriented entertainment.

This is more than just advertising; it’s about being part of something new and exciting, which will become a cornerstone event for the region. The more sponsorship we secure, the bigger the payouts and the more racers we attract—resulting in more fans, greater attention, and enhanced visibility for your brand.
