Chaz, That actually was a test I had problems posting, but Angie got it fixed. My two cents on the series,we have a great series that can only get better with input. We do need an A team for tech and track personal,wich will cost extra money. Who would object to increased entry fees (a few dollars more) to get the qualified personal and tech tools to make the racing fair and consistant? I hate to see racing getting anymore expensive than it already is,but it seems that it would be worth the money to keep everyone in check. We all seem to want better tech and to keep the same track personal at each event,but nothing is free. With the amount of race entries we have had in the CSC,would a few dollars more per entry, cover the cost of keeping qualified personal? I also feel the driver meetings could focus a little more on saftey issues,like drivers responsibilities on passing and being passed,it seems some people have adopted the attitudes of, if they can’t pass you clean the’ll go through you at any cost,very dangerous IMO. I saw one black flag this year and that was for a mechanical infraction.I got ran over a couple of times,yes I have a bone stock motor and am working on my driving skills to get better, like some of us in the Novice class,but not a reason to be ran over by the next wanna be Mario Andretti. If they think there that bad-ass go pro and Mr. Walls and others will probably put you in your place! If you can’t make a safe clean pass don’t do it I’m not pointing fingers,but the speeds that we achieve in a kart,it’s not a contact sport,it could be your life. Live to race another day is my motto,and works for me and others in the sport. Which brings us back to the need for more qualified and trained track personal(flaggers). What’s it worth to us? All in all it was a great season,me and my girls had a blast racing the series. Thanks to all the track owners,track personal,sponsors and of course Angie for all there hard work. The name brand sponsors that came onboard for a state series was amazing. We got a great thing going, lets work together to make it even better. I also like the schedule the way it is,to many races could hurt the series and make it to expensive. For us, its everything times three,it gets pricey. A drop would also be nice, even though it would have worked against me in the overall standings. As for CRE, why support a track that doesn’t want to support us, the racers. George doesn’t want to play. STICK A FORK IN IT!!! 😛 Brad Fleming
