Doug, sorry for the delay, but I have been busy and haven?t spent much time recently reading this website. 😥
Now, aren?t statistics fun? Just ask any politician. I am not sure how you calculated your numbers and it doesn?t really matter, but I went through mylaps.com and counted just the qualifying rounds for all CSC races (there are Junior 1 Animals racing in CSC that aren?t CSC registered). Taking that into account, yes we have had a high of 9 and a low of 2 but the average for Animals is 6.25 per race. In the end does this matter? NO. By the end of this year, I think you will see a total revamping of the Junior 1 class with cost be the driving force; in my opinion this is moving in the right direction. Yes, the minis are here to stay and with RMax challenge races here within the state it is an interesting avenue if you can afford it, but I think the minis are too expensive, depending on drivers age selected they can be too fast, and frankly the idea of the motor for life doesn?t hold water here, especially when you got ?die-hard? CSC Rotax guys switching to and fro to IAME Leopard motors depending on which track the next race is at. I realize I am drifting off subject here, but how does that help the mini philosophy; how does this help the cost of karting in the TAG classes?
I personally wish CSC would require racers in the CSC TAG classes to state their motor package up front and they then, have to run those ?stated? package all year.
