This sounds like a kick in the pants… I can’t believe no one has commented on the series since it was posted. Let me be the first. I know Jim and the folks at GJ and what kind of races they put on and I can only imagine that this will be the time of anyones life it they put what they know to the track… I am looking forward to racing next year and this is the perfect place to hone in the skills I need.. Thank you all for Jim and everyone for doing this…. -26 degree windchill is nothing right now… as long as the gas doesn’t freeze we are golden as my hands are permanently stuck to the wheel… ha. ha.

I can’t believe no one has commented on the series since it was posted. Let me be the first.Hey Roger,
I don’t think everyone let the For Realease announcement sit for 10 days intentionally.
Feedback I’ve heard indicates a lot of racers who are still a little numb to all the choices coming up and wondering why we couldn’t keep the racing unit whole? You think that affects the excitement a little? It could possibly dim future announcement’s from any of the promoters (not just Jim’s series) regarding the upcoming year. The fact that no one has responded is somewhat believable to me.You commented, you would “side” with Jim’s series, in an earlier post. I’m sure there are many who feel the same as you. I’m also sure there are people who would “side” Brad too. Personally, I like both. And there are others who may not know who to “side” with. Seems a shame this big karting family who has raced together for so many years could be separated to a degree. Sure it’s just a 4 race series here and a 4 race series there. Then there’s this club series and then that club series, oh yea, where does Rotax fit in? Is there one for Brad and one for Jim? And there will be more racing offered to the racer, what do they do? It does seem a little weird. Not sure everyone thinks “siding” is best for karting? Just like having to post everything to the 2 different racing websites to not look to one sided toward one “side”or the other. (seems a little like High School?) It’s just crazy to me. But this is what it has come to I suppose.
I am no authority Roger. But I’ve have heard several say they will do one or two of Jim’s and Check out Brads new track for a race, then go to Gj for one of the races to support the Cooks, not sure if it will be Jim’s or Brad’s series yet. Then maybe a race or two out of state for the hell of it. Don’t remember these racers expressing this same desire before, nor remember this many indecisive about their racing plans at this point of the season, but there is a lot of choices to look at.
I wouldn’t be too surprised by the lack of response Roger, things are just a little strange right now.

Not sure if Tom’s Supernationals are the National Championship your looking for next year Roger, but if it is, I hope you do well. And I hope the fields here are deep and you get the variety you need to get cut and ripped for that high stance you’ve set for yourself.
Happy Holidays.

Rick,
Your post echoes much of what I’ve heard and also my own thoughts. We’ll still have the same number of karters next year (hopefully) but we’ll have 4 series instead of 2, not counting Rotax. Where will the racers I want to be running against be racing and how will I know before I sign up for a series? I like all of the tracks but I want to go where the best competition is. There’s the chance that everyone will be so split up that all of the series will have weaker competition.

My comments were pretty much what the racers I’ve spoken with feel about the situation. Ours too.
I think Rotax might draw the racers this year. So whoever has the best Rotax series (assuming they’ll both have one?) will probably have a lot of racers who tag along (pun intended) with the series and will be the happening series to be a part of.
Most I’ve spoken with that are not going to do Jim’s series will still do his temp race. And all also say they want to run Brads new track.
Who knows where to go to race against the best fields and which series will produce the best racers in Colorado. Jim will make it a good show, a lot will stay with the Csc for the nostalgia and prestige of winning what has been the premier regional series in Colorado. Some are waiting to run the Csc to see if the board will really be able to enhance the racers experience? Don’t know.We’ll wait like the rest.
It’s a little strange right now. I’ve never had so many PM’s and phone calls about what to race?
One thing is for sure, the fields will be smaller regardless.
