Mr. Reed,
I will take the time to answer any questions you may have. Any motorsports facility that has ever been built near a population center has to go thru such hard planning stages that no time frame can be established. It has been a little over a year from the submittal stages. That said, I am totally comfortable with waiting. The long term gain far exceeds the short term loss.
My scoring trailer filled the need to put the show on the road. I needed to fill my obligations to run the Denver Grand Prix. I’m sorry you didn’t have the time to come by and see what we are capable of.
Your “sources” need to be better informed. What expenses are you talking of? How does the “ghost track” not have them. The whole world of karting revolves around “perception” There is a huge perception that SKUSA is going to cost everyone involved more money. I can only respond to the facts. Please let me know what the costs are and who pays them.
It is fair to let you know of my experience. I’m asking for a lot, and I will in turn give back a lot. Below is a small list of my relevant experiences.
1) President, US J/24 Class Association. (Sailing class, 2200 members)
Duties: oversaw Class office, executive director, responsible for organizing national championship series and qualifiers for entries to World Championships, class rules, and membership services, publication of annual magazine, and rule book.2) National Measurer, US J/24 Class Association. Trained in all tech. and measurment aspects of the boat including weights, heights, construction materials and equipment to conform to class and builder specs.
3) Vice Chairman, International J/24 Class Association. Worked with chairman to run the world wide association. 5000+ members, 32 countries. Oversaw selection and organization of world championship regattas, country regional qualifiers, consistant measurement process, and total event management.
4) Regatta/race chairman, J/24 20th Anniversary Regatta, Key West, Florida. Oversaw the largest, offshore one design regatta held up to that time. 1997. Had to set up the entire location, as no facilties were in place then.
5) Commodore and lifetime member, Dillon Yacht Club. Event chairman and organizer of the Annual Leukemia Cup Regatta. Local fund raiser that raised over $100,000.00 in year 1. Now in its 6th year locally.
The demise of culb racers at Action Karting can only be answered by Action Karting. I can’t help you there.
Blatent cheating. The desire to follow a set of rules and enforcement is the only way to stop this problem. Be very carefull what you ask for, as I would like to know how Ron, a 15-16 year old got entered in the masters class at a pro tour, and ended up on the podium? How did his age become over 35?
My goal is to provide a positive, FAIR, racing experience. There are several ways for this to happen. I am presenting one of them, (SKUSA). Please help and show us the other options. The karters need it.
If you have any other questions or concerns, you may call me at 303-708-9400.
Thanks for your time.
JimDoes JB frequent these forums? This is the first that I’ve heard about the demise of club racing at Action Karting. I’d be curious to hear from someone who really knows what’s going on.
Anyone?
