OK, I do see your points too. Please understand I was not talking about making any rules up for JR classes. Anybody with kids racen has a much bigger bone to fetch than I do. One rule I would like to see enforced a little more is the age breaks for kids racing in adult classes.
One quite normal thing I see many racers complain about is not having some written rules. Even when there are national written rules available, just by joining the national orginization that writes them they will still complain that nobody has given them the rules. I am cheap too, but you wont here me complaining about not getting something for nothing.
There is plenty of potential karters in Colorado for booth “system orginized” racing and anti system non-orginized outlaw racers.
For either one to judge the other as to which is more fun or better to do is not right or possible.
I have been in karting long enough to know that hanging your hat on any one national orginization can be fun, yet even there rules can have “that doesn’t make any sence” theam to them as well.
How many Briggs blocks have you blown up while tring to follow some national rule of using a stock rod? That rule was nuts, yet I followed it with my wallet for years.
As far as kids aspiring to race cars. Shure it’s nice to see a couple of locals getting that chance. I raced in Marshalltown Iowa for a number of years. The Johnsons were owners and operaters of the track back then. I see the Johnson Boys are now envloved in that same car thing that was mentioned on an earlier post and home page. Are the Johnsons still envolved with there local kart track anymore? I don’t think so.
A lot of karters think there go-kart is going to take them somewhere. As an old fart racing karts, I know that I must take my go-kart somewhere to race it, and it ant going to take me anywhere. To make karting a better steping stone for father son teams to use to get to where they want to go, isn’t on the top of my list, because I choose to race karts not cars. How is the loss of father son teams to car racing a benifit to karting?
