I didnt go through tech because I knew I wasnt going to go to Grands even if my rookie a– did get in. This series is too expensive on the national level. Good fun on the club level however. As I said in an earlier post…if Rotax is trying to cater to the average karter then they have priced this series too high. I have heard the same thing over and over again-“I cant afford to go to Grands even if I qualify”. Many folks are in this boat. I am curious to see how many folks are at the grands with a tiny trailer or van.
My hunch is not many. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong but I bet there are more 500K and up rigs then average folks trying to win on a national level.
I qualified higher then all previous 3 races. I was only tenths off of the pace and felt great in the races except for my clutch slipping on the formation laps. Anyone else ever have this problem. When the light went green I had no pull until maybe close to the end of the first lap-then everything was great until finish, other then starting about a lap back.
Unless you have a mechanic and some disposable cash this series is very difficult. My place it at the club level and that is fine with me.
As rookie on used mojos I guess I dont have too much to complain about except that it was a ton of fun. Thanks to Jim and Staff-Ed, Caroline, Angie, Matt, Ian and track workers, Ben and all the rest-Thanks for a fun series that seemed to run flawlessly, you guys run a tight ship…I mean Track.
Time to put on the MG’S!!!! oh yeah, and take off 20lbs.!!!!!
cheers, j
