Hey Don!
For the entry level 7-9 year olds, to my understanding there is a
MICRO-Max Rotax package.
As for the Mini Max Class, @ the Last Club Race I was approached by
3 Jr1 Fathers who stated they are looking to move into MINI-max. With that in mind I have a list of 9. Now a List is just that, a list……
So what I understood was after the experiance of some, they want a package that will allow growth. Another topic another time………..
After talking to some they spent more in Jr1, then I did in Mini max.
So I’m hopeful Mini Max will grow next year, and when the time comes for the 2009, Colorado will have some well trained Mini Maxer’s for the Grands!Ron discussion is great, that is what this is all about. :rotate:
Regarding the cost, well anything is possible, but unless they had a lot of bad luck in the Honda program, compared to a bit of bad luck like we did in the mini-max I find it hard to believe. Just go down the list of engine components comparing the costs.
I have been in this for a couple of years and heard about the numbers all before in this class or that class? all I can say is for the growth of Colorado karting I truly hope your numbers are more than just a piece of paper.
Rotax as a growth package, if you plan to run Rotax and only Rotax I concede the point to you and perhaps that is your goal. But if you are planning to run in the next class up, TAG Jr in either the CSC or TAG USA which motor would you choose for 08? (I would be very interested to hear others thoughts regarding this question). How many Rotax motors did you count in TAG Jr class at TAG World? How many Rotax motors in TAG Jr within CSC? Unless the rules are modified in Rotax favor, I believe most will be buying another slightly cheaper motor to compete within this class.
There is a Micro Max package. However, testing showed that it was slower than a K80 with poor throttle response. Barry, Jim and I have been talking about doing some testing to find a happy medium between Mini and Micro. The goal is to have 10hp with good throttle response. I have a smaller restricter here that I will be giving to Barry for testing.
The MiniMax is a great package and unless you have some unfortunate circumstances, you should run all season with little to no problems. I can’t comment on the Jr1 Honda package as none of my customers ran them extensively and I have no personal experience with them.
