Potentially $10,545.00!!!!!! You guys and girls have worked very hard for a great cause. :clap: I look forward to watching the bidding process. We have our eyes on a couple of the packages and are willing to go big if necessary.
Hopefully Bob can muster up enough energy to drop in for a while. It would be good for everyone, especially him, but I know he is still very weak.
Stacey, or anyone else on the Western Slope. Call me if you want to place a bid on any item. I will keep my phone handy and a pen ready to write in your pledge.
See you all on Sunday.
Tony,
The 2008 rule book is about to be released. All of your questions will be answered soon.
Thanks,
CurtDon,
Jim is working on the fnal draft of the 2008 rules. I reviewed them late last night and he should be getting final approval from the other CSC officials very soon. Best case, you should all have access to the 2008 CSC rule book by this weekend. A PDF download will be available on this site and we should have printed hard copies for any upcoming seminars, meetings, and available at each track.
Thanks,

Hey that exlax diet really does work… When I wrestled in High school we had a coach the would feed us chocalate covered exlax and man lookout.. in 9th grade i weighed 125lbs and was a rail but could cut to 105’s in about 2 days.. what the heck was I thinking….
My point exactly. But some drivers (MC) can loose many many many more pounds if they just just took the pill daily….. :joker
Just make sure you put it in the right orifice Mike…. :puke

The birds eye view of the track looks like my lower intestinal TRACK…..Get it! Nick name for USAIR is The Intestinal Track 😆
Sorry
MikeyLooks like a 9 hole par 32 to me, with wide cart paths.
Please note:
The date of race #7 is TBD also. We are working on that.
Should have it all worked out next week upon Jim’s return from FLA.Thank You
CurtThose were the days of full fields Tony. Pretty cool stuff to watch. Just getting a kart on the first 5 rows for the main was a challenge, and a success story in itself.
I made some head way today on our chances to race at Invesco this summer. I will be getting together with Jim and Brad later this week to take the next step forward. Keep your fingers crossed everyone. This could be huge 😀
That puts the total at (50) people Rick. Just in case nobody can log in and register your additional (6). As of this post anyway.
What a great bunch of racers we have in CO :clap: :clap: :clap:I love the smell of a cigar in the morning….It’s the smell of victory….
Sorry to confuse you edupin, you will get to know my sense, or lack of sense of humor in time. I would never smoke a gasser in a public place, especially around children, or non-smokers. That’s just wrong.
But in honor of Jed Clampit, I will smoke something outside that day. 😉 😯 😕 :joker
You may need a larger venue if this continues to build Rick. We have no parts, karts or skills to offer, only cash and a helping hand. We will be there to help and just get in the way. It’s the least we can do as a family. We have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to watch the Reeds since day 1. Ronnie and Matt used to be the same size at one time if you can believe that. Bob and I have had many discussions and have actually solved all of the worlds problems many times over the years. We come from the same generation and my heart fully goes out to him and his family in this time of need.
Bob,
If you are checking this thread I have only one question. What the hell were you thinking? Guys like us should never go under the knife. All that poison in us has no where to go but back inside and now look what you have done to yourself. Rick is one of the lucky ones to come out of his surgery like he did. Edwards is still home after his surgery…. Next time just walk it off and be grumpy like me. You will live longer, however, everyone around us wishes something else. Cant wait to see you and the family again, especially that little toe headed grandson.Thank you to everyone who has, is, and will step up for this cause. The Reeds are world class friends, karters and just plain folks. Thank you Rick for stepping up. Tell Lucy and Tammy that Debbi will be on hand to cook , clean and help out wherever possible as well. See you all in a couple of weeks to watch the 24 car dominate the field at Daytona.
CurtFor those of you who called me yesterday, I have requested to Stacey that he look into different dates for CSC round #1. Let the Country Jammers have GJ that weekend. Let’s keep karting afforadable for families. I am sure the track owners will come up with a solution in the next couple of days.
Sorry I did not return any calls, hopefully this will suffice. Please keep the calls coming if you have any questions or concerns.
Stacey, please check your PM’s.
Thanks,Well I can now cross off my Bucket List, “Go see an ice race”. We made the journey from Castle Rock to Loveland to watch the races last night. I even brought the on-board camera for Jay to wear as he chased Rod around the skate rink. First the bad news, the camera blew up just as Jay and I were trying to get it properly aimed while mounted to the top of his SNELL approved helmet. So much for that idea. I made it back to our turn two seats where I found Deb and Matt readily awaiting the start of the nights events. I must say, the ICE group does a very good job in presenting their event. They obviously have alot of experience putting these events on all across the USA. The croud was almost at full capacity and very loud, along with the Rock-and-Roll music blaring over the PA system. The atmosphere was almost that of an indoor supercross or monster truck event with the wave making an appearance started by two small boys in front of us tht did not give up until it hit a full 360′. Even the track anouncer, who was very talented, got into the wave and brought it to title wave status. We alll thought the two boys should just give up as only 25-50 at best were participating at first, then 50-100, 150-250, then full sections, and after 20 minutes of starting over and over, there she blows!!!! It was very cool.(Literally)
After the rider introductions, yes karter got pimped again, there was the National Anthem followed by more rock as the excitment grew. Budwiser beer was now flowing through the veigns of this awsome facility wittnessed by the actions of the hammer heads sitting all around us. You had to be there to see what I mean. It reminded me of the good old days when IMI would have the year end trophy awards banquet and invite the “dirt trackers”. Some of you know what I mean….
We watched a few heat races of Pro bikes, Pro quads and not-so-pro stuff with no studs. It was pretty entertaining to say the least, and the pro bikes really hook up on the ice. If the riders were not careful the bike would wheely over. They had plenty of grip around the tight corners, and full contact is something you had better prepare for. Not once did we see any finger throwing, gesters or fist pumping all night. All the drivers and riders had a blast and were very well behaved. (Take note karters)
The first kart heat race took place after the Zamboni cleared the track of what could have generated 200K sno-cones. Jay was on pole next to Rod with a couple of other tater diggers behind them. The smell of alcohol was now in the air as they put down about five warm uplaps. Jay got everyone in formation and the starter dropped the green. It looked to me like Freezman had some power issues and Jay took off pretty hard and lapped the field. He looked like he may have found a new love grinding up ice and sawing the wheel to keep from looping. Right on the verge of every turn the kart wanted to swap ends, but the Jake of All Trades held onto her and tamed the ice like he was at Centennial on a 75′ day with new slicks. Pretty impressive I must say, and the crowd seemed to like the heat race as well.
The main was pretty much the same, but with ten laps. Rod seemed to find his power, but looked loose. He ran with Jay until the field started to bunch up then it was on. Lot’s of bumping and grinding going on behind Jay allowing him to open up a demanding lead that held up until the last lap. Seems Jay got a little taken away by the size of the crowd and looped his kart. He was able to keep the motor running, collect his wits and get pointed back in the right direction just in front of the on coming pack. They all raced for the checker with the Jakester taking the win. I am almost certain he is still there signing autographs with his new found fans making Rod put everything away for another year.
We had a blast, and like I said, it was very refreshing to see an organization run as smooth and professional as the ICE crew did last night.There you go race fans. Most likley the longest post of my Colorado Karter carreer. Just thought you wanted to know what goes on up North on cool nights.
PS: We did get some footage from the other camera that I will try to get Matt to upload. I know, I know, where is the GGP footage you promised????? Still waiting to reformat everything. The job change made me burn CD’s and I used a different format that now will take about $400.00 of software to correct. My bad.
Late.
