Dan and Greg, there are many faces wanting to be the vioce of the 2 stroke racers here in Colorado. I wouldn’t be looking towards them faces to represent the four stroke racer. You guys did well at keeping the class alive last year by doing what you had to do. Any program made up by the majority of the CSC will more than likely not fit the mold of a 4 stroke racer. If you think you can develope the four stroke club a step farther, the task is in your hands and in my opinion not in the hands of CSC. Maybe next year you can start the next most popular class of kart racing with races held at IMI,Bandimere,and CRE.
Hell, Craig and I started CSC then others took the idea and worked it.
The first CSC entry forum was handed out at CRE a year before the CSC as we know it now started. That same year I raced my four stroke motors in over 40 races at three tracks to get three track championships as no real stae championship was available then. The same year I also went to the IKF four stroke sprint championships and podiumed in three classes.
As an older four stroker comments from JB and others about us being behind the times and we need to change is an old statement, geographical driven, determind by what magazines you read, web sites you attend, and races you go to. You wont see a Rotax dealer promoteing their goods to 800 four strokers at the WKA nationals, just like you wont see Burris pushing their wares at the SKUSA Nationals.
Booth or should I say all the santioning bodies have trouble’s catering to their customers. Because we have so many faces demanding the most from their hobby they can get, around here anyway it seems we are always ahead of the thoughts of national orginizations trying to write the rules to play with. That can be good or bad depending on where you want to go with your racing.
Regarding your four stroke class, You guys are ahead of the times with the mixture of the WF mod and animal mods. No other org. runs the mixture so this is the only proving grounds for the mix. That is good for the ones that want to explore what works and doesn’t work, but it also limits participation of the racers that don’t want to explore this and would rather race with a some what of an even playing field and have there motor issues worked on by someone that isn’t even from around here. That’s where WKA’s written rules would add to the growth of the class.
All karter may be in the same family,yet I do tend to drink more when visiting my inlaws. :cheers:
