I know how you feel, the 80 junior is one heck of a fast package and most 12 year olds aren’t ready for it yet. Last year, we didn’t have squat in Jr2 or novice. I do think that will pick up though. Maybe not Junior 2 but novice. I have heard that a couple are going to run it and I know of another that was just purchased and will be delivered into the area soon. I loved the 60 class when we ran it. The motors last forever and they are quick little karts.

I wouldn’t give up on TaG junior to soon. I think you will see restriced versions of it come out that run on a much lower wieght. That maybe your best bet.

Bill, Doug and all,
Even though I lobbied for lower weights in Jr 1 last year, having reviewed the IKF, the WKA, and the weight of the Animal, I think we are too light.

My personal preference is too keep the 240 lbs since me and my kid are lightweights. However, too be fair and to keep the class as large as possible, I would be fine adding 10 lbs to this class. Would that keep your son in Jr 1? Do you think the rest of the gang will go along?

Rod:
Last year he raced at 265 lb. So the 10 lbs probably wouldn’t be worth the trouble to rehash the rules that were voted on at the meeting.

Doug:
You say you heard of couple that are going to run it. Do you mean the limited 80 or do you mean the Novice class with a 60cc?

Track Owners:
The rules say “60 Novice Shifter” and SKUSA tech. This was never an issue untill SKUSA added the limited 80 to the novice class. I like the 80 idea, because if we want to jump to 80jr we have already purchased most of the package. One of the SKUSA regions tested this situation last year, they must have found them fairly compatible with the exhaust restrictor or they wouldn’t have allowed them in the same class. A simple yes or no and I will drop the subject.

Not trying to cause a skermish just trying to get something clarified. This should have been brought up at the meeting, but after we voted SKUSA rules I didn’t think it was necessary. Either way, we will find someplace for him to race.

Bill, I would be ok with him running a restricted 80, we will have a few 60s this year but the restricted 80 does make sense and maybe it would open up more kids that aren’t ready to jump inot the 80 Jr class.

My daughter will be running in the juinor 2 class this year. Could I have a show of hands as to how many will be joining us?

Thanks
