Congratulation Larry Toby! You certainly have the right perspective about kart racing. I for one have taken kart racing to serious over the years and for that I am sorry. Sitting out of racing this year has certainly given me a new perspective concerning karting. What a great sport and hobby! I think more people (including myself) should have the attitude and perspective that Larry Toby has and then I think karting would certainly be a more fun sport/hobby than maybe it has been for some others. There certainly is nothing wrong with wanting to win each and everytime you go out and race, but at the end of the day it should be a fun sport. This is not NASCAR, INDY CAR, CHAMP CAR OR FORMULA 1. Were only racing for bragging rights and trophies, not a million dollars.
Good Luck to all in the off season and may we all find the right perspective when it comes to Kart Racing.
Sincerely,
Tim & Seth
S.A.C. Motorsports, LLCLarry,
We look forward to joining your group next year… With Sabre’ growing like she has over the last 6 months and weighing in at 25lbs over the Mini Max limit we have no choice but to move on… All the kids in that class over any other seem to have a special bond that is shown both on and off the track, I hope we can be a part of that next year.. I agree with you, lets leave the politics behind and really enjoy the time we have with our friends and family… :cheers: ….
Mr Toby
Great post……Tyler will be running with you guys next year and with that attitude we can’t wait.
Have a great trip
Mike Edwards :cheers:Larry and Tim,
Thanks for the reality check–you’re both absolutely right! Race after race, no matter the outcome, it was great to see the camaraderie among all the TAG Jr. racers. Tough competitors on the track, and friends in the pits–we can learn some lessons from them! Sometimes when Lady Luck wasn’t smiling upon us, I have to admit that Pat took it better than I. But what better way to be spending time with our sons and daughters than all these weekends together. I know you and Clara will have an experience that most of us can only imagine over the next few months–have a great adventure!!
It?s nice to see all the positive posts. We better watch out though because this could become contagious and we?ll miss out on all the old meaningless bickering that often populates this forum.
It?s neat to see the transitions already starting to happen. Some of this year?s junior tag drivers will be moving on to senior classes next year. At the same time other drivers will be moving into this junior class. Sabre will be a great new addition. I watched her drive her heart out last Sunday. The will was there but there is no overcoming of that much weight with the horsepower of the Mini Max. The new challenge will be finding enough places to bolt on all the lead she will need in the junior class. I saw Tyler practicing last week and he is already up to speed. He will be another great addition. Hopefully, Sydney will also return. I?m not sure whether she would be a junior or senior but it would be nice to see her on the track again.
Some of the names and faces will change but I suspect that a similar dynamic will be in place next year. This is an age where kids quickly attach to other kids and need the camaraderie. They are growing and maturing quickly and need to have other kids/friends to talk with who are experiencing some of the same unknown things they are. What better way to do that than through an activity where there is a common interest. Karting provides a platform that is as good as any other activity ? as long as it is not taken too seriously.
I agree with Larry in that your starting to be too nice. I think you are going to have even more fun next year than this year and we can’t have that. Someone needs to start the meaningless bickering again before everyone realizes that racing is only about fun.
