Sorry for the late reply. We will have an extra one of the Ribtect plates with us there, if needed.

(long live theColoradoKarter!)Thanks so much Rich,
I would have hoped you would have instructed folks to come over to theColoradoKarter for more info and kept it going here.
I think this is a great idea, and would maybe like to participate in some way. I am all about spreading the knowledge, part of the reason I ever started this site in the first place, back in 2003. I have been a little busy the past few days, as we are getting ready to go to the SuperNats, and thought I could get into it more when that was done.
SEE OTHER COLORADO WEBSITE — ouch.
😐I have added another album. This one is circa 2003. http://www.thecoloradokarter.com/ColoradoKartingPictures/
I still have more pictures, so will add more as I get them. I will be putting up an index page for all of the albums, too, plus get one back on here where you can upload your own.Have a great day! :loony:
Rick,
That is why I HAD to share. I had so much fun going through them. And I will be adding more as they show up. Glad you enjoyed them.angie
Usually practice starts at 8:00 am,one 10 min. round for each group, then Drivers’ Meeting, Qualifying, etc.
I don’t really know what to say here, but feel I have to say something.
It is true that I cut back on my involvement, but I never intended to quit completely, or retire this website. The twins are not racing this year, but we are still working on something for Cole, so I planned on staying involved a little bit. I had originally planned on scoring the CSC races(as long as we were racing), keeping the points, and the website. Those things were not a problem. It did get out of hand trying to stay on top of the rules, membership, and other admin things. Since going back to work last winter, and now moving to full time, it definitely made it difficult to keep up. My family suffered, the CSC and karters suffered, and I suppose also my job suffered, because I was trying to do it all, and instead didn’t do anything to satisfaction.
I will be the first to admit that I made some bad choices in the past, and I am sorry for anyone that was affected by that. When last season was over, and talk of the new season began, I tried to step back and let the new Race Director and the track owners step up and take over – that doesn’t sound right, as they were always in charge – but hopefully you understand what I mean. It was a seemingly nice transition, with new people on board that are excited about continuing the growth of the CSC, working with the track owners that were still dedicated to it.
I certainly don’t blame anyone for moving on and not including me. I just want it to be clear that I didn’t just bail on the karters. I have been here, offering suggestions (when asked), and was prepared to continue being a part of the karting scene, only on a much more limited basis. Even though this last year was difficult, and I didn’t do the best job, I put my heart and soul into this sport for 5 years, and that hopefully counts for something.
I am still here, and I plan on keeping The Colorado Karter around. That is, at least as long as it seems to be providing a benenfit to Colorado Karting. If things totally die here, well then I will obviously have to re-evaluate.
I hope that things come together for the CSC, as well as all of the individual tracks in the state. I further hope that all of the racers have an awesome, safe, competitive season!

p.s. My grandmother fell down the stairs about two weeks ago. Some of you may have met her at the track, she used to come to all of the races, then last year still made quite a few. She turned 90 in November, and was still going strong. Her mind is still quick, just he body failing. She was scheduled to go into an assisted living facility, but the fall happened the night before she was to move in. Now, Nanny ( as the grandkids all know her) didn’t break a hip like most elderly do when they fall…..no, she broke her neck. Literally broke her neck at C2 –C3. The doctors say most people don’t even survive that break, and if they do, they are paralyzed. Not Nanny, she gave us quite a scare, and is still not out of the woods completely, but is on her way to the goal of that fancy assisted living arrangement. She is in a neck brace only, as they could not do any surgery ( her bones wouldn’t hold any hardware, and she wouldn’t do well under anesthesia). She spent a full week at the new Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, but has now moved to a rehabilitation facility. She can feed herself, can stand for several minutes at a time, and even take a short walk with her walker. It has been a roller coaster ride, for sure, as she still has bad moments, when she gets tired mostly, but the prognosis is still for her to be self sufficient enough to live in the assisted living facility. Just thought as long as I was posting, I would share that information. Also, it should be a reminder to tell your family you love them.
Mike,
Sorry, didn’t mean to ignore you. I have not found out. The form that was put up on the CSC site was wrong, and the new information is not out yet. I am not the one updating the CSC site any more, but if you want to blame me you can!Angie

A few additional things I forgot to mention.
1. TAG classes will run by TAGUSA rules, and we will follow any rule changes during the season that TAGUSA makes.
2. You have to be a member of the CSC to run at a CSC event. That is, even if you show up for one event, you will be required to pay the $100 registration fee.
3. We will have early online race registrations, and will have a penalty for waiting until race weekend to sign up for the race.
