Hello,
Since this really is about being able to finish the race at all, I say you score it as:
1) most laps shifter kart – open,
2) most laps single speed – open.
Throw away the weights, class motors, DD2 is a shifter, must change drivers every 45 min. max. and 2 drivers min. per team.
Only adult classes or drivers (14 +?), all karts on the track same time.
Fueling, tires, red bull, coffee, head slaps, profanity, brakes, “what were you thinking???!!!” all subject to each teams discretion. Have to change drivers no later than 45 min.
Angie starts timing, drives to I Hop, has a warm breakfast, reads the paper, has seconds on coffee, drives back to track, actually going 35 MPH down the access road, comes to a full stop at the stop sign, talks to gate keeper, scopes out the entire parking lot for a parking space, slowly walks thru the shop/office, says “Hi” to Bobby and Brad again, checks out Mylaps for other race results around the country, edits a few post on the Karter, walks around the paddock, wishes Cole was racing with the twins (thinks they would win this EASY), moseys up to scoring tower, checks on time remaining, walks back to shop/office, thinks about class structure for next year, prepares for next weeks meeting/party, walks over to Team Dog House and tells them they are the best (as far as we know), skips up to scoring tower (thank you Jager Bomb!!!) and gets ready to turn off timing and declare a winner.
Team Jansen does pretty much the same thing after Mike makes it two laps and dies near the hairpin. Teammates to lazy to walk and go fetch kart and fix it, so they go to breakfast with Angie…
This sounds like a BLAST!!!!
Jim (can you say AR-50?)
