$210 for mgs (two sets minimum)=$420
$100 for duros (one set all season)=$100When you have multiple expensive hobbies the extra $300 on top of entry fees can be a deal breaker.

I don’t know why but I don’t remember getting a full set of Duros for $100. I think it was like 150. I do know that one set of fronts cost me like $50. So yes the math does add up to cheaper. This is going to be an MG series that is sponsored by them. I have seen and heard it said that there could be tire scholarships. Do you think maybe they might be on a discount as you are buying them from the series?
I recommend trying out one race and see how it goes. If it doesn’t work out you are only out 110 bucks based on your math. But you still had fun and raced with other people.
I bought mine from The Track. I guess they were up-charging. 🙁
I still recommend coming out and racing in at least one of the races. Just to see how it is. You may discover that you love the MG Reds and can adjust the funds to make the extra 300 work. I stopped the progress of my pilots license as I wanted to race more. lol Damn priorities. 😉

Set of duros from K1 is less than $100
Support your local race shop brother!
Unser sells them for $110 and will dismount the old, mount the new, recycle the tires, tell you a joke, walk your dog and paint the front porch.
Well, maybe not all that, but the dismounting/mounting and recycling is true. You’d have to ask Greg about the other items.
How’s the voting going? Unsure how productive this thread is, but it is nice to have new content to read everyday on the site!

I bought my set last year from Unser but couldn’t remember exactly how much I had paid for them. Greg also sells a matched set which is nice!

Voting is almost done! 25 people have voted so far. Would like to see 30 if we can! I will let it go over the weekend and will stop it on Monday.
Which weight class structure would you like for lo206:

Voted. Didn’t see the option for “one” weight class?? 😀
People were fighting just two. Thought trying to go for one like other big clubs have might have been a little too much. 😉 :bang
https://youtu.be/BoqvLbjApy8 Great racing had by a 1 class race. 1 class may be too much for club racing. 2 seems more like what we would want (Keep in mind this is senior (16+) Jr has their classes already based on my understanding). Just thought you all would love to see some great racing though! Those tires are sure STICKY Look at one of the karts going around a turn. lol
Hello All,
Based on the votes it appears majority wants two weight classes instead of 3. Within the options 325/385 and 340/390 got the most votes in the two weight class options.
So, based on this vote are we going to change the weight classes? If we do change the weight classes should we adjust the weight to allow for a better spread. Like the 330/380 or 340/390 or something else. I am open to suggestions.
Let’s not be like Kansas who voted but the government actually vetoed the vote of the people. lol These types of votes would bring in new government, so shouldn’t we listen to the people and what they want?
Willing to continue this discussion if we are going with the people. If nothing is going to change this is really sad and shows that we are not really listening to the community. We are already dropping those that don’t want to pay for the MG tires let’s not drop any others due to not good racing in their class. I would hate that to happen.
Can’t WAIT for this season. I am really getting excited!
Here is the links to the polls so you know I didn’t edit them or anything. 🙂 I closed them btw.

http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=56cbd3e2e4b0f33c4ec704dcThis old fat racer said: Racing promoters do govern racing events all though they are more like the EPA where they are not elected officials and their power of rule enforcement is not based on popular votes.
Don’t think having 3 or 2 classes will matter much. There would be very few who could make a light weight of 300. The driver would have to be 150 or less with a very ligh kart. Probably really only going to be a medium and heavy based on what the karts and drivers weigh. Would be nice if we have enough for 3 classes, but we will see. Hopefully it will grow enough for this to occur.

Like most of you who watched this unfold, there was a trend that was consistent for most of the week that drastically changed over the last couple of days. This is why the series organizers do not base their rules on poles. The truth is, they are not credible because it’s not conducted by an impartial/independent source. That’s all I’m saying on this topic and I certainly hope we can move on now.
Respectfully,

:coDamn, I knew this was going to happen. Ok, if this vote wasn’t good how about you setup a vote? I mean really how can a vote not count? We VOTE and said that two classes are what we the mass want and you say the vote doesn’t count because people waited until almost the close of the vote to cast their vote. 47 people voted. If you want to see the details of how people voted I can show that information if you think it was conducted impartial or what ever. I mean really do you think I would cheat? I don’t cheat when I race why would I here???????????????????
Not really respectfully respecting the views of the whole! This is really upsetting!

I even used a third party application to run the polling. Isn’t that impartial/independent source? It just sounds to me that people want 3 classes to be lazy and not put the weight on. Or decide to pick a different class where the competition isn’t as hard so that you win.
The moment you stop listening to your community that is when you start to loose the community. We already lost a lot of people due to MG Reds being run in LO. Not having people to race with in your weight class could be another issue we will have. Think about it, we already lost people due to tires. This reduced the field even more. At the track we had an average of 15 people. 2 of the lights that used to run are no longer in Colorado and I assume the other lights that showed up only a couple will return. That drops the count down to 11 people. Of those 11 people on average 6 mediums and 5 heavy. We have already seen Cole isn’t going to race so that drops 1 out of the medium. Leaving a total of 5 per class. Granted we may have a couple lights so 5 per class and 2 lights. So here you are racing against 5 people (as 4 is the cutoff based on what I heard to run the class). When if we picked two weight classes we could all decide to run in the heavy to have a 10 class pack.
Racing against 10 people sounds a lot more fun than 5. Keep in mind 47 people voted. Which means we at least have 47 drivers that are interested in racing to have an opinion. If those 47 people actually show up with a two weight class structure that would be 23 people per class. Sounds like a great race if you ask me!!! Sounds a lot like all the racing that can be seen here. https://www.youtube.com/user/BrandonHawkinRacing
