Preface my comments: I like controversy on this site, it makes people think!
These suggestions sound like a “Divide and Conquer” strategy.
The Colorado karters are a great bunch. I would hate to see shifters go their way and clutch karts go their way and never the twane shall meet. I see lower attendance at races and that doesn’t thrill me.
I am partial to the Club series at local tracks, as that is the way I got involved.
It is mentioned above that most karters fly the coop after 3 yrs and I agree with that. I can only think of ONE person who was around racing 7 yrs ago when I started and that is Chuck and his son at IMI.
It all comes down to promoting the sport to bring in newbies. How good we do that will determine where Colorado karting goes.
Maybe a comittee should be set up to brainstorm ideas and promote karting in Colorado.
