I thought the CSC was a state level series. Regional to me means several states in a region. That would mean several races out of state. Am I wrong here or am a missing something? :idn:

I can easily understand the confusion. In general, karting has 3 levels of racing. Club level races are held at one track only. Regional level races are held at several tracks and National events cover a much wider geographical area. Back east, a “regional” series often may cover several states but you have to remember, states are much smaller back there. For example, a 4 hour drive out of Chicago gives you 5 states! If we drive 4 hours we get to Wyoming. A regional series in Southern California, never leaves SoCal. A regional series in the upper midwest covers 4 or 5 states, yet the geographical area is about the same.

To me, club racing is where the new racers should play. Regional racing costs more money (equipment and travel) and is a place for better club racers and national level drivers looking for more. National level is national.
