Meeting…..

[Kurt Freiburg]

I disagree. I’ve rarely seen issues decided or action taken based on forum discussion. You learn different points of view, which is a good thing, but that’s about it. Many people do not join in on the forums for various reasons, even key people in our community.

At the same time, I understand Brian’s point. Been there, actually.

So, I propose we split this up:

1) Conduct a survey on key tactical issues (classes, schedule, rules). Make it clear, and make a real effort to get the feedback. And act on it.

2) Implement the previously proposed “class representative” system. Make it real – with posted expectations, responsibilities and limitations – so that everyone understands how it’s supposed to work.

3) Hold a strategic meeting with all track and business owners, and key volunteers, to jointly figure out how (and how much) to promote and grow karting in Colorado. Have an initial meeting, then quarterly follow up meetings to change direction where needed.

4) Have the normal annual meeting become an actual meeting, not just a presentation. Present new plans, get feedback, record what action needs be taken, and commit to a clear, public response. Hold it a bit earlier.

To settle the scheduling issue, I propose that hold the strategic meeting (#3) the afternoon of the CSC banquet in November. It’s not that far away, and most stakeholders should be available.

I’m willing to help on all fronts, and I trust that many others will too.

Let’s be an even better model for the country.

Everyone…..I’m available to do whatever is needed to move this “thing” forward ASAP. Let’s stop the reasons why this should happen and GET IT ON!

OK, enough already, I hear you!!!!!!

It sounds like the majority of folks want the meeting. I will hold the original date of 10-21. It will be in the late afternoon so you can still catch college football, the soccer game, kill an elk or whatever else you do when your not karting in October.

Sorry Stacey, we need to have this first meeting. If I wait for the perfect weekend it will be in mid December and too late for those of us who are trying to decide what class to run next year. Please have Daren someone else from GJ attend.

Send me your questions now for the survey. Angie will have something to me by this weekend and I will be at The Track all day Sat/Sun. Send them by PM, or to my business address: [email protected] or, fax them to me at 303-935-1783

Thanks to all of you who have called, PM’d and EM’d me offering your help on this. I look forward to getting with everyone involved very soon.

Curt……..I wasn’t directing that comment at you little buddy…….That was for all the ones that seem to think this will all get resolved by just talking about it on the forum, and I don’t believe it will.

Just my 2 cents..

[Curt Kistler]

No worries Mikey. I was typing my response while you were posting yours. They hit at the same time.

I am getting lots of calls and mail however. The first meeting should set the standard for many more to follow. There are lot’s of concerned karters out there that need some answers.

[Curt Kistler]

Please find the 2006 CSC End of Season survey attached. You will find instructions on page #1 on how to get them back to me. I would like these prior to 10-21, the date of our Town Meeting.

Thanks for all of your calls, e mails and PM’s. There are many concerned karters out there that are looking forward to next season already. This region has many opportunities, and plenty of passionate karting families that want this sport to grow and prosper.

I look forward to our Town Meeting in October, and seeing everyone at CSC#9 at The Track @ Centennial.

Thank You,

If anyone has a facility that could host the Town Meeting please let me know. Seems that when I mention to my contacts that this is for a group of 50-75 karters, they all have general excuses why their facility is not available. We must have a bad reputation out there for some reason. (Bobby!)

I can book a facility that will cost us $$$$$, but I would like to avoid that if at all possible.

Please let me know if anyone who is planning on attending has a neutral site, not related to karting, and can help us put this meeting together on 10-21-06 in the afternoon.

Thanks,
And thanks to those who have already sent in the survey. That really helps. 😛

Stacey is nice enough to lend us his brand new house on Redlands Mesa GC for the meeting. He also said he would buy all the beer. Am I correct Cook?

Count me in. ( Sorry Melissa )

By the way, Kelly and I have decided to go racing next year. We will do it when we want to and not have to. I am now searching for sponsors. I have heard this sport is expensive. Anything helps!!!!!!!

Richie, by the time the house is done I won’t have any money left for beer 😥 We almost have the building at the track dried in and it would make a great meeting room. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
