Thanks Kirk
At the club level how much do you spend each race day? ( excluding tires, gas)
How do I join at the club level, whats the advantage of joining, other than points?
If I read the tracks websites right, Action has no club level races right, its either IMI or The track?
Thanks again
The fees will be the same as what I listed above. There isn’t really any ‘joining’ as far as club racing goes, I just show up on the day of the race. If I want to be a part of the front range (The Track and IMI) series, I would pay 40 bucks or so at the beginning of the season to be eligible for points and trophies, etc. You don’t have to pay 200 bucks or anything to be a ‘member’ of a track or specific club if that is what you are asking.
Club racing just means that you show up and race with the same bunch of old farts each weekend. I hope this means that you’ll be joining us in TaG Masters, huge fields (20+ karts) and close (mostly sane) racing. Everyone will help you out with any questions, prep, etc.
what class? What kart are you considering?
Just to give you an idea of the consumables cost, I go through a chain and sprocket each race (50 bucks), figure on 5 gallons + for testing saturday plus racing on sunday (figure 10 bucks a gallon for fuel plus castor oil) New tires are not mandatory unless you are rich or gunning for the win and championships…I use my tires about 3 weekends (but I suck). Take that for what it’s worth.
