My appoligies to my good friend John Denman over at kartweb.com for stealing his intro line but I felt that his article has a great deal of merit here in Colorado. For those who are asking for lower weights and more classes, please go read his article. The link is below.
Doug,
After reading the great debate article, I have to agree. I first was behind the 395 weight simply because we were following SKUSA rules. It made it easy for everyone to at least look up what the rules were. After looking into the average weight of us 35+ geezers (in general), I have to agree with the 410 simply because the weight of the ICC karts have increased.
I know of a lot of G1 guys using the ICC. This way, both motors will be able to compete and we haven’t put anyone at a disadvantage on the track. (Off the track, back on the stand is another matter).
What are you (the series) doing about tires?
Thanks for the info on this matter.

At the meeting, we agreed to a durometer spec based off the YHC. The tires listed on Angie’s rules on this site are within that spec. As far as I am concerned, that is what we agreed to and thats what we got. If the guys want to change that, they have to change the durometer spec to a level that will include the tires they want (MG yellow) However, if they do that, ALL tires that meet that spec must be included. That opens the door for different Vegas, Gold tires and the YHB B’stones.
The reason for specing a hard tire is to give those racers who can not afford or do not want to buy new tires every time out a competitive tire. The hard tire rule is for the weekend, lets have fun racer, not the lets go fast at all costs racer. We have a Pro class for that guy.
My opinion, if you want to run soft tires and a low weight, run the Pro class. Thats what its for.
