Tag 4 Cycle at GJMS

[shawnjkelly2]

Looks like there are 2 more Vampires that are joining the field. If there are 6 or so Karts for this class, any thoughts on letting them run on their own? If not, any thoughts on the 4 cycle guys starting a bit ahead of the Tag Senior class on the track at GJMS?

Any opinions from other Tag Senior racers?

Pretty sure there is going to be morre than 2 joining in Shawn. And the Championship is up in the air. We’re cool with a split start or whatever. So we’re not a factor in anyone elses Championship and the’re not a factor in ours. I know Roman has tried to stay out of the way but at Imi with the DD2’s, it was tough. A situation like that would be bad at the last race.

And the field are figuring out the tuning of these motors and are getting faster every race.

One more vote for split/staggered start.

Guys,

We will try and accomodate you guys if possible… We sure dont want a championship decided by someone getting tangled up with another driver Not in their class…..

Thanks Rick, Jon, and Stacey. I hope we get more responses on the topic.

Stacey- I think you’ll find that if we had a meeting at GJMS, the TAG Senior Pilots would rather either have them run alone or start well ahead of us. While most 4 cycle drivers are faster on the straights, we catch some of them in the corners and it makes it very challenging to pass and then catch up with our respective competitors because the Gap is already set. Not to mention possibly tangling……..

Thanks for the input!!

I’m not in favor of adding a seperate class. Look at the qualifying times and make a decision. We were running up front with the DD2’s earlier this year, in some cases ahead of them. And have run towards the front in the Tag Senior class most of the year, in some cases ahead of them. I think we should look at the bulk of the competitors times and split accordingly. Talk to the pole sitters about the gap you’re going to require and go racing.

Again. My .02
