Mike and Stacey (and anyone else who cares),
Mike: Thanks for your honesty, it sounds like I am a year behind you and I do hope that you understand what I am going through. I do wish that other parents would “Speak Up”.
Stacey: No offense, but at this stage of the game I don’t even know what a Mini Max is, but, it sure does sound cool!!!! I mean that your perspective on this package does sound great as long as it is fair to everyone in that class…….sign me up if it makes everyone happy and we are ALL operating with the same set of STANDARDS or specs.
I have been involved with all types of sports all of my life and to be honest this one has got me beat!!!!! I have never seen such behind the back trash talking about other parents, track owners and even children who I thought that this sport was suppose to be about. I do admit that I get iritated with certain people also, but I try to focus on my daughter really enjoy watching the kids on the track.
I was just told tonight face to face that the reason that I have so many questions is that I am not in the “INNER CIRCLE” of karting and that once I am I will be privy to all of the info that I need.
I was also told that I was just wasting my money and being stupid by going with a certain track owner because this track was being forclosed on and my daughter would not even get to race there this year.
I guess what I am asking is how do you know what is real and what is B.S. and when or where do find the application for the “INNER CIRCLE” of parents and track owners so that I don’t waste a bunch of money and my daughter gets to have some fun this summer????
I really thought that this would be a sport that could be:
1. As safe as it can be.
2. Fun for the KIDS and family.
3. And something to make our children more competitive in a fair manner.
Maybe I missed the boat somewhere.
I am sorry if I am offending anyone, this is not my purpose I just don’t want to waste a bunch of money or time trying to build or do something that will get her disqualified or HURT.
Thanks, John
