And what about those of us who ONLY wanna do club races? thats all we can really afford? Ive been racing for 4 yrs, ya’ll already pushed us out of the csc, what else do you wanna push the four cycles out of? everything?
Club racers are exactly the guys I’m most concerned about. They are the backbone of karting and the racers we most often overlook. By breaking the CSC into two series, clutch karts and shifters, we expand the opportunities for 4 cycles, not lessen them. We can make club racing stronger, not weaker. The CSC has hurt club racing and it has reduced opportunites for club racers.
Look, right now we have 7 shifter classes. We have 6 clutch kart classes in the CSC. Why not break it into 2 series and expand the clutch karts to include Rotax or Leopard only classes and 4 cycle classes. It gives the club racer, particularly the 4 cycle guys an option they don’t have now. By only being a 4 or 5 race series, it doesn’t break your bank and by tying in 2 or 3 club races to make your regional points good, how does it hurt you? You can take your potato digger to the other tracks if you want and it keeps your club program strong.
Ellee, if you took a minute to see the postives, you will see I’m trying to help you, not hurt you. I’m trying to give you back what the CSC took away. I’m not trying to push anyone out, rather I’m trying to give everyone more opportunites.
The only racers this works againest is the racer who is trying to run both a clutch kart and a shifter. But those are very few. I think far more will benifit than are hurt by this. And even if they still wanted to do both, they would be doing no more races by doing both than they would by doing a single expanded CSC series. Except that with two series, they will get to race each kart more on race day. Isn’t that what most racers want?
