Curt:
I applaud your organizing efforts and if you organize it people will come. I can speak for myself and I will.
Rich, Quit speaking for George. He’s a grown man and can work this out himself IF HE WANTS TO. It’s a two way street.
From a business standpoint and let’s be realistic: you cut classes down and we reduce the amount of drivers from 100-120 to 70-80 you really think the track owners are going to salivate at that? They are in business TO STAY IN BUSINESS AND EARN A LIVING. Reality is this: combine classes on the track (except the novice class or relagate it to the club series) and if people adhere to the rule of number plates for different classes then we see: a) lots more on track action and passing b) more track time for ALL RACERS c) the opportunity to run 3-6 karts of a dying class together until it atrophies on it’s own accord. THIS GIVES US ALL OPTIONS versus stuff crammed down our throats. AND IT GIVES THE TRACK OWNERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MORE MONEY.
I’d like to add another wrench in the spokes: Have a rental class. Pay at the door and you can race with the other 4 cycle karts (they have experience, they’ll know how to get around you) and let’s see how many people actually would enter the karting fold that way… Just a thougth.
We as racers are trying to shove demands down the throats of the track owners. I’m absolutely positive that’s going to work. I don’t know the debt service of the track owners but whatever occurs,they need to make M O N E Y. How many corporate days has THE TRACK had in the last month or rentals? It more than makes up for our test and tune days dontcha think?
OOps. I’m rambling. Out… 8)
