Greg and Doug
Neither of you has intreperted what I said correctly. So I try to write it so that hopefully you understand. If the driver had done the same thing to an adult, he should have gotten a rolled black flag. The track response to that action was correct. The ages of the drivers has nothing to do with it. A faster kart punted a lapper out of the way, period. That action deserves a rolled black flag, period. Is it your contention that it is ok to punt lappers out of your way? If it is, I strongly suggest you find another series to run. Lapped traffic is a part of racing and it is the overtaking drivers responsibility to pass safely.
I do not have any thing to do with which classes run together. Every aspect of the operation of the race is entirely up to the track owner. If you don’t what kids running with adults, talk to the track owner, not me! I have made no comments in any of these posts regarding the suitability of putting kids out with adults. Please take the time to read what I have said carefully and do not use you bias to interpreate what I have said. I have always typed exactly what I want to say. But let me put in bullets so there is not misunderstanding.
1. Punting lappers is wrong in every instance and deserves a black flag. The ages and class of the drivers is irrealivent. You don’t punt lappers!
2.. I have nothing to do with the actual operation of the race and all concerns to the operation, tech and safety of the track should be directed to the track owner who is in complete control of all aspects of race operation.
3. I have never said anything in person or in my posts about which classes can or should run together and I have never stated anything publicly about running junior 2 with 4 cycle senior.
