March 17, 2009 – Dulles VA – Allsports Grand Prix and Casa de Amigos Racing announced today that Allsports Grand Prix has joined Casa de Amigos as a sponsor for the 2009 season. Allsports Grand Prix, the premier Indoor Karting facility of Northern Virginia, is located in Dulles, Virginia. The facility is used for corporate events, league racing and individual arrive-and-drive sessions.

“We are happy to be a part of Casa de Amigos racing, ” said François Duret, owner of Allsports Grand Prix. The team has been regulars at Duret’s facility for the past four years and has run hundreds of laps on the professionally designed track. The layout makes good use of the building’s floor pan and is reminiscent of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit.

“We are honored to have Allsports support us for a third year,” said Roger Troxell, team principle. According to Troxell, “We find that the skills that make you fast on the Allsports track are the same skills that make you fast on big tracks like Summit Point and Virginia International Raceway.”

Team driver and two-time MARRS ITC Champion John Burkhard agreed with Troxell. “Racing is more than hitting an apex. To win races, you need to learn strategy, patience, and how to use traffic to your advantage.” Burkhard, the 2005 recipient of the Paul H. Norair Trophy presented to the Region’s most improved driver, added, “I know that the time spent at Allsports helped me win the ITC Championship.”
