High Octane Thrills Turns Up the Heat at PRI in Orlando

Dec. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- High Octane Thrills turned up the heat in Orlando this week for the annual performance racing industry trade show. Leaving no head unturned, High Octane Thrills set out to establish a new image and to prove that the upcoming Caged Heat Racing Series would be a force to reckon with in 2010.

On Thursday High Octane kicked off the event with a live press conference to reveal the all new 2010 Cage Heat Race Car. The new car is a rendition of the existing 1/2 scale mini cup car and features numerous safety and performance design features. "This car will be the first mini cup car to have a full body constraint system in the car along with a complete fire extinguish system - a feature which surprisingly isn't standard or mandated in existing mini cup cars. These cars have to be safe and that's our first priority," said Randy Burris, the competition director for the Caged Heat Racing Series.

Thursday night High Octane Thrills added fuel to the fire as they reared their heads for the annual PRI/CKI Karting All-Stars Classic. Numerous NASCAR Stars were on hand such as Jamie McMurray and Scott Speed to experience the event. "Are you ready to feel the heat?" yelled Thomas Walls, CEO and Founder of the Caged Heat Racing Series as he was introduced to the crowd as the official provider of the winners circle fireworks.

On Saturday High Octane Thrill released the names of the 30 drivers who will be representing the Cage Heat Racing Series in 2010. Close to 17 of the current top 50 drivers were on hand for the announcement. "Being selected to race in the Caged Heat Racing Series will be amazing - when they introduce me to the roaring crowd and the pyrotechnics explode as I walk out - that will make me feel like a rock star," said Mary Daniels, a 16-year-old girl from Bowling Green Kentucky. The complete driver list can be found on the company website - www.highoctanethrills.com.

High Octane Thrills Boilerplate

The start-up Caged Heat Racing Series is the result of more than eight years of development by High Octane Thrills to provide the nation's racing fans with a new indoor motor sport spectacle.

The Caged Heat Series, slated to begin a national tour in April 2010 will run from April to September, stopping in 20 cities across the country.

A minimum of 30 full-time drivers will compete each week on a 22-foot tall see-through track banked at 67.5 degrees. The track features 125-foot straight-aways, 80 foot x 180 degree sweeping turns and is surfaced with clear LEXAN panels. The track has been professionally engineered to support 30 cars and drivers while fitting into the same seating configuration as an NHL hockey rink.

Each stop will include two nights of high-speed indoor racing action. Spectators will be treated to a night of entertainment and in your face racing enhanced with lighting, audio and pyrotechnic effects similar to a large arena rock show, World Wrestling Entertainment, Monster Trucks and the X-Games.
