Great post on your experience Richard. I think it echoes most people’s experience. You gottta really want to race…
One of the challenges new people have to over come is the “where/what” to race. And we as a community do not have a simple, common story to tell. If we could collectively agree on a common strategy, at least we could all communicate the same message and at the same time have bigger fields. Would this not work?
1. Rentals
2. Arrive and race (racing at the various tracks using their equipment)
3. Club Races
– CJKC for kids
– 5 classes (Cadets, Juniors, Seniors, Masters, and Shifters) for all the track/club series
4. Regional/National
– Racing the Rockies: Rotax
– RMPKC: SKUSA
It seems inclusive. It offers a ladder for those that want to race more/at a higher level, etc. It gets people involved from the first time they set foot in a facility even if they are renting. Imagine 20 Masters drivers with a “TAG” winner and a “Clone/LO206” winner on the track at the same time. Feels like it should work at the club level.
