This year in the CSC. On average, the animal class has had 5.75 entries per race. The MiniMax class has had on average 5.875. Looks to me that statistically, its a draw. I’m thinking about putting together a K80 just to see how well it does.
Actually, the reason Nick is coming out is as a reward for doing so well this year. The kid has had a great season, winning two national championships. The kid has never seen the mountains and this will be a short vacation for them. This family is the type I really like to associate with, very helpful to every racer, and they don’t take themselvs to seriously. His dad is one of the really class acts and I feel very fortunate that they use our equipment.
I’m hoping that everyone here will give them the type of welcome we are known for here in Colorado. Everyone should feel free to come up and introduce yourselves to them, Nick and his dad Marty.
Oh, I alsmot forgot, the 3rd place driver in MinMax at the Rotax Grands was a kid named Bobby Ross. He is new to karting this past year and they too have one of our karts. He’s a great story for this kid really suffers from ADD and karting has given him a real place to focus. I have been around him quite a bit and this kid has a really hard time focusing, not even for a few seconds. His dad has told me that school is very difficult for him. Yet he can and does listen very intently when you talk with him about racing and once the helmet goes on, he is intensly focused. Just another thing about racing that seems to help some kids.
