I’m happy with the ckt class structure. I’ll be #25 over but it will still be fun, and since I’m a terrible driver I’ll just be racing with the heavier group on track. It’s like a golf handicap. And we are there to race not collect trophies so at the end of the day as long as everyone has fun then it’s all good. :banana
Last season some of the most fun racing I had was with some of the heavy guys. Inter class battles are part of the fun! But again this goes back to me being a terrible driver who spends all of his race budget on his graphics and ends up running the same set of tires for two seasons. But I’m pretty sure I look cooler than you on track! :redman just kidding, I’m sure you look fine. :white
I think it’s easier to have a single weight class in cars since the driver weighs a fraction of what the car weighs. I weigh 10 pounds more than my kart… Throws off the power to weight ratio a lot quicker when a kart racer gains 5-10 pounds.
I hear Helmut Marko only looks to the light classes when he picks the next drivers for the redbull jr team. So that narrows it down for me.

Set of duros from K1 is less than $100
Support your local race shop brother!
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!
$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 too, have been trying to drum up interest in LO206. I even posted an ad with info on C/L. Got one guy into it by selling him my old kart for a great price. Talk about no interest, we only had 5 total karts at GJMS with me and my son included. I hope this series will help get more into it. Anything that will bring numbers up would be great!
I had planned on traveling this summer to race with you guys, but the switch to mg reds put a stop to that idea… 🙁
I used one set of tires last year and I made half the races and the tires barely have any wear on them. I plan to use the rest of the rubber up this year. I had contemplated running the mg series but there are 8 race days which makes it similar to the cjkc, no? Two sets (conservative estimate) of mgs puts me at $450 just in tires and I’m not fast enough to be getting sponsored… I guess what I’m getting at is I’ll be racing a few races with cjkc in the lite class and just try to enjoy myself while I’m at it 🙂 I better get working on losing a few pounds!
