Sheldon, Just send a check for $50.00 and I’ll register your number in my memory bank. :bs:
You said you only plan on racing in the club events and there has been two club races with nice turn outs in the Tag masters class. All the numbers you see on mylaps for that class have been registered in club racing when they signed up for race day. It would be pretty safe to say any number you choose other than what you have seen so far would be fine. At some point we will have a list of numbers registered for the CSC events, yet even then if you happened to choose the same as someone racing CSC there still wouldn’t be any problem as you are not racing that series this year right?
Lets say you picked #6 which is the number I hope to register in CSC, and you went club racing and registered on a race day. Since I have not been to any club races to register #6 you would be the #6 in them events and if I came to race one day, I would just have to change my number for that day. No big deal. I would hope the club event would allow me to just change it to #6d which the D is a SKUSA requirement for the rocky mountain area racers in SKUSA events.
There really is no single number directory for all the different karting orgs. like Club,CRE,CSC,SKUSA, Rotax Max, Tag USA, Stars, generally have a first come first served type policy that when you sign up to race in you will entire a first, second and even third choice of number you want to be and they will confirm if that number hasn’t been registered all ready. So it could be said no matter how many years you have been racing it pays to sign up early.
Sorry if my post complaining about seeing #6 being used in the club events confused you, I jumped the gun while hoping to secure my number for CSC events.
Eddy was nice to change his number in club events even though he didn’t really have to. I think I was just a little disappointed that the karting season had started and the CSC has not organized the registration process yet for this year.
Glad to here you are going to be in the most exciting class of kart racing, you are in for a treat and will have a great time. Don’t miss your first chance to race in any events as you will learn many things in your first few races that will teach you what practice is for. If you can swing it run the CSC events it will give you a good jump start and school you as to what it takes to be fast. Good Luck@Road Runner wrote:

Tony – Ya’ got a point there, although he hasn’t been so cocky lately what w/ his teamie Jimmy taking the last two championships and what not. Ideally I’d like to use young F1 hero Lewis Hamilton’s current number, which I think is 22, but this old go-slower wouldn’t want to insult him.
I of course am running THE ALMIGHTY NUMERO 20
Yeh, I know. Kind of wanted Smoke’s number for myself, actually.
BTW, I don’t recognize that helmet brand in your photo, is that a Bell? Don’t those horns create a lot of drag?
I think 57 it will be for now. Following in the footsteps of one of you local karting giants, I’ll be following the “number it for the age at which you started it” standard this year.
Freezeman – thanks for the additional perspectives, and for the welcome. And, that registration check is “in the mail”. It’s rubber, hope that’s ok…

Ugghh. Lewis Hamilton? What a douchebag. I had a little respect for him untill the Bahrain Grand Prix when he flipped off one of the Force India drivers for simply fighting for position. That was complete BS.
Anyways I’m not registered as I’m kinda in the same boat as you you sheldon. But I would like to run 555 in TaG Masters club when I get started sometime this season. Just putting that out there.

HA!!!
Thats a good point!!Hey Jim,
I am assuming that the TaG Masters class is for “older folks” like the Rotax Max Masters? Where can I get some information on it and at what tracks in Colorado can you race this class?
Thanks
ChrisCharger,
I don’t see a Jim on this page of posts so I’ll give ya my 2 cents. Welcome to Colorado Karting. The age group and classes Tag/Rotax Masters is the most popular class of sprint racing there is in Colorado. Look at the results post from the first two IMI/The Track club series, click on mylaps and see that there are twenty some old fast guys mixing it up in the TAG Masters class, which if you have a Rotax motor and your an old karter like me it’s the ticket to all the racing even a young racer could hope to find. I am glad you have made it to this site just in time to get involved with this group of old racers as one of the best racing series in the US is just around the corner. The CSC Series is a well coordinated and convenient 7 race series at three tracks and Grand final on a temporary course with its first event to start on the 21st & 22nd of June at the super fast, smooth and most accommodating track in the state, in Grand Junction. I know it’s a little trip to get there yet the organizers realize this so we will have double events each weekend crowning the champion clockwise racer on Saturday and the counter clockwise champion on Sunday which will be a great test to anyones skills of racing. The other two double header weekends will be held at IMI and at “The Track”
click this link for more details http://www.coloradokartracing.com I was a spoiled Rotax Master last year as the Rotax Nationals was held at “The Track” last year which made rotax only classes big in the state, while Tag Masters grew as well. While this year Rotax only racing has faded down to hand full of racers competing to attend the National event in Wisconsin this fall.
Chris, I don’t know your racing back ground yet if you miss this exciting series of kart racing I do know you will have missed the best racing experience a racer could hope to find. The Masters will be there and I hope I can help you be there too. Good Luck
