the 260 or 160 will work. I am sure there will still be some transponders to rent, but how many, and how well they work may be issue! We will of course do our best to have them available. Just put it on your birthday, Christmas, or wish list now! The more people that have their own, and bring them to the track fully charged, the quicker things can move on race day morning.
Russ, starting in the back if you don’t get a qual time is fine, but keeping track of where everyone is on the track during a race is much easier with transponders!
Thanks,
AngieHey Tony,
Based on the conversations going on this site, in a few different threads …. you really should change your signature tag line! In karting, rubbin’ is NOT racin’.Angie
As was referred to in the other thread regarding transponders… Greg was one of those whose transponder was not picking up in the Main. I had to manually score him each time by, and had to put a missed lap back in. Obviously his times were not acurate, just thought I’d let you know why.

:sun:If you want to see some good, close, clean racing…. watch the Mini Max class race!
and thanks to JJ, we have one example on tape!….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_XdzZ3visMSeriously, though, you guys should know that the corner workers are paying attention to rough driving. They have radios, and I hear them talking about watch this # or that #, or whatever. They don’t have eyes in the back of their heads, but they are trying to do the best they can. Safety is always top concern. I believe there were some verbal warnings given out after some races, too, so don’t think that it all goes unnoticed. That is not an easy job, standing out in the weather and being 110% alert for 10 – 12 hours. Don’t get me wrong, there is always room for improvement, but I wonder how many of you would take a turn in their shoes for a race day!
I try to do my part to keep the track workers aware of who is on the lead lap, etc. It makes it much easier to do so when everybody has bold, clear, readable numbers on all 4 sides of their kart! If the number on your kart doesn’t match the results posted.. please let us know. We use those to grid, and to follow the karts on the track. It is important to check the posted results and make sure that the info is correct. Also, we had a few duplicate numbers out there. For instance (not to pick on anyone) the #69 is popular, and we had 2 of those in the 125 shifter class. If you plan on racing often in this series, please consider making your number unique to any in your flight (not just your class).OK, while I am at it, there is something else that adds to the confusion. That is when someone’s transponder isn’t picking up. The transponders that we provide is a convenience for the racers. At this event, we had a whole case that wasn’t charged well, and were going dead. Thank you so much to all of you that had to keep bringing them back to charge in between races. Everyone needs to remember to check their transponders before each run. If it is not blinking, it will not pick up. I do my best to manually score those – but that is one more thing to keep track of. I can’t do that in qualifying, I try to verify that everyone is picking up, but with 20+ karts on the track, it isn’t always easy. And by the time I figure out who is missing, and get them in to get a new one, that much time of Qualifying is gone.
Just more things to think about!
:sun:
I don’t have an update on Don. I will see what I can find out.
Mike, you should uncheck the box on MyLaps that says sort by class. Some of the guys were running RMax, but they were also scored for Tag Masters. Hope that makes sense.

Tony,
the points have been updated, I just forgot to fix the links. I changed it a little so that it is easier for me to update.
Try it now. use the tabs on the bottom to change classes.http://www.thecoloradokarter.com/imittac/2007IMITTAC.htm
Sorry ’bout that.
Angie
Mel,
Sorry I didn’t post back when they were done. They have been online for awhile. 😳
You can get to them on the CSC site…. http://www.coloradosprintchampionship.com or use the following link….http://www.coloradosprintchampionship.com/2007results/2007cscpoints.htm
Congratulations! Cherish every one of those baby moments, cuz before you know he’ll be all grown up!
Take care,
AngieOk, I am working on the points. I am glad you all had fun over here – we are looking forward to the next one, over there. Just FYI, Jake was 8 lbs light, not 1. oh yeah, I am working on the points…. thank you for your patience :sun:
After seeing the picture, Ken will be inspecting the kart really close! and he told Cole that his rate is $65/hr for repairs! Of course, he is proud of his drivers. As with many of the drivers, this was Cole’s first in wet conditions. We had tires and rain suit ready, have had for a couple of years now (bought them for the SuperNats in 05), but this is the first time we ever put them on the kart.
Great racing by all!

Mitch,
Great Job as usual. Thanks for making the extra effort to make it back to town for us. Excellent shots!!Angie
Ron,
Yep, we raced in the rain! It was great (I was in a warm, dry buiding!) The Mini Maxes did great. They weren’t just poking around making laps, they were all out racing. All of the classes that raced in the rain did great. The 80s and 125 Shifters were the last couple of classes, as it was coming down pretty good.Hope to see you next time,
Angie
I am so sorry, but no. I have been up to my eyeballs in getting the site going again and getting ready for the first CSC race this weekend. I do have them partially done, and will update on Monday (we are already down at Action Karting…. in the rain). It shouldn’t take me this long each time. Again, sorry for the delay.
Angie
