I didn?t say this was our only option. I said ?Given the choice?.. I think this is the way to go.?
Tech did do its job last year, and kids were DQed. We shouldn?t have to DQ kids.
Quoting from the 05 CSC Kid Kart rules?
?Class Purpose: The Kid Kart class is an entry level racing environment which primary purpose is to offer a safe, fun, and educational experience for its participants. This class serves as an opportunity to train and teach beginning drivers, and their parents, about proper event procedures, safety rules, racing etiquette, driving skills and sportsmanship.?
You said it ?at the end of the day these are kids.”
The ?fun? was draining fast for all involved. ?. KK parents were causing more headaches for tech and officials than any other class. The class became divided, the rumors were flying, and it wasn?t fair to anyone ? kids, parents, officials. This should allow the kids and parents to go back to having fun at the track, and put the focus back where it should be
The ?kill your kid class? you refer to was one of the classes offered at IMI. That decision is up to Brad, but I believe that he is doing the supplied motors for his races, too.
Any kids that are doing national level events should find that racing the CSC, with equal spec motors, should be great preparation. What better way for them to hone their driving skills, and for dad to hone his chassis set up skills?
It is good that George is going to have a junior program at CRE this year. I hope you and your kids have fun wherever you decide to race. We will be posting 2006 schedules and details on all the tracks? and CSC?s programs as they become available. The official CSC schedule and class rules will be posted at http://www.coloradosprintchampionship.com soon.
