SKUSA rule changes for 05-06 – ideas for 05 CSC rules?

Angie,

You are a great facilitator of this discussion and you always stay so positive !

We are going to run Jr 1 next year again, the racing experience is 2nd to none ! We are seriously thinking about Novice 60/80 shifter as a 2nd class. I would really prefer to put him in a restricted 80 than straight into a Junior 80 kart given the power difference. The major concern I have with Novice 60 is the small field size and it seems that some kids are talking about leaving or skipping Novice 60 year (Austin, Nick Burton, Mark Ray?) so field size may be an issue next year as well. Given the popularity of the shifter class, I am surprised that our “feeder” system on the shifter side isn’t bigger.

That’s what we are thinking about.

For any Jr.1, or Comer families moving into Jr. 80 shifter, don’t forget to look at all the Hot Deals in the classified section of this site.

I personally know of one of the cleanest, fastest, most competitive, easy driving, good looking, many extras, national winner, track winner, maybe state winner 80 shifter karts in the region.

Gotta go bump something to the top of the list now.

I approve of this message. 😀

Would it be possible to have a short “to the point” meeting in Steamboat? Some what lay grounds for next year, if possible.

Could we take some polls at the final event of the year or ask those teams in question as to what class they are going to run?

Angie I wasn’t necessarly refering to the novice shifter class (S2, JR2) I mentioned that to show that my comments effect 2 of my boys and not just somewone elses kids. This year Steve is learning to “race” while Mark is learning to “shift and go fast”, there have been races where he has not passed or been passed all day. Next year Mark will be in the 80jr/tag jr age group, and Steve will be 9/10 and we will have to pick which class will have the most participation for him. I would like to have a smaller number of classes to force a larger class field count. SKUSA has there classes lined out for next year already, they are giving people plenty of time to make there choice of what to do next year.
Sunday we had 28 karts in 6 classes counting S2, Novice 125, Sr/Heavy. 80JR, 60 Novice, and JR2. Those 28 karts raced 4 seperate races, they could have been combined into 2 races, with kids in 1 race and adults in another and saved atleast a couple of hours.
Saying this and doing this are two different things, any changes will tick off some people, but maybe if you tick em off early they will be over it by next year.

I am up to $.04 now.

I think a meeting at the Steamboat race is a great idea- but one suggestion- have the meeting after the race so we don’t eat up daylight or have to cut the meeting short to start racing.

I got an ideur, lets figure out the rules for all the adult classes with a town hall style meeting after the pubs close Sunday morning. Hu maybe a pancake house would be a better place to have it?
