Angie,
If you look at every other class at GJMS, to my knowledge the only class that ran karts that had obvious non-spec motors that were ineligible for points were the Junior 1s, so forgive some of us who question the logic of doing it.
I don’t think it was communicated at all, except on race day, and even then I didn’t hear Stacey say at the drivers meeting that they would be ineligible for points. That in essence, they were running for practice. He may have said that to someone afterward in a private conversation, but I found out about from Brad Linkus this week.
I think it is fair to say that what GJMS did was unusual and it was communicated late, and communication had some holes in it. That’s all I am saying.
Don’t get me wrong, I think the folks at GJMS did a great job. It was very well run and is a first class facility run by very nice people. The issue with the Junior 1s wasn’t a show stopper by any means. I would never argue to exclude anyone unless I thought there was a safety issue. The mini maxes were neither overpowered (yet) or way underpowered, so there was no safety issue. But there was definitely a “traffic” issue.
But that’s racing.
See you soon.
