Kid kart- age 5-7
60/80 novice-age 9-13
80shifter-age 12-15
Jr1-age 8-11
Jr.TAG-age 12-15
and
Mini Max (Cadet Tag) 9-13The Novice 60/80 is not competitive with the Junior 80s, but they have run on the track together and seem to do just fine.
Freezeman, I agree with you and have mentioned in the past that the 60cc aspect of the 60/80 Novice class should not be listed/added since it is not competitive at least here in Colorado with our rules (no one last year finished with a 60cc all went to the 80/85cc motor by mid-year). Maybe this year they will fix that and the 60 might be competitive, but at this time I have not heard that they will.
Angie,
Are those age ranges for the classes you mention set in stone or will there be exception/exemptions? Can someone older or someone younger race in those classess? What is the criteria for that? And what is the cut-off date, Dec 31 of the prior year?thanks
Rod:
I like your ideas, but I am not one of the ones that would have to scrap last years motor for one that would conform to your class structure. This might work for next year, if published this year.
I think when the track owners post the official rules they should also post a race day schedule that would be common at all the tracks. That schedule would include what classes would be run together unless a certain high kart count was met. Example: 80 novice would run with 80jr. and would start directly behind unless kart count exceeded 30 karts. Same would hold true with the adult shifter classes, Jr1 and Mini max. If a kid is going to participate in 2 classes they would need to know this now to avoid buying karts that would be run together. This would shorten the race days. We had too many 3-6 kart sessions last year. For every session we eliminate we save about 1 hour.Bill

There will be a process for exceptions, but people should not assume that they can breeze through without anyone noticing. There have been issues in the past that have caused the scrutinizing of this rule. Look for more details on this soon, for now, anyone with a concern about their racer should contact me. The cut-off will be July 1st of the race year.
I agree to a class structure that I don’t have to run against Kyle. He should be handed a trophy as he arrives and not race against us humans. He is like super-human.
Great job last year Kyle. Keep it up,
Richard
Thanks Richard, now I need to go buy a bigger helmet. 😕
