JDD Series Meeting
CRE Motorsports Park
Saturday, April 7th, 10am

A meeting will held for the prospective families of this seasons Junior Driver Development Series that is scheduled to get underway April 15th. The meeting will serve to answer any questions regarding the program and to afford the opportunity for the families and kids to meet and get to know each other. Please bring karts along for a post meeting testing session.

Series Schedule
April 22nd July 22nd
May 13th August 19th
June 17th September 16th
All events will start at 8:30 am and will conclude on or before noon.

The JDD Series is being established to focus on the development of future talent from the attained age of five through eight years old. As a parent you understand the relatively short attention span of this age group; two hours is an eternity to a six year old. Youngsters lose focus and interest if even a fun experience is extended too long or is presented too often. The JDD Series will be parent interactive with the parents working the corners to encourage and support the kids.

George I wanted to come down and sit in on the meeting. I was talking with Scott Smith yesterday and this series sounds like a good idea. Can I bring my rotax down to drive with or is the track going to be limited to the junior drivers that day?
