It’s my understanding that it’s the week between Xmas and tomorrow. We have our kart in about 500 pieces and the frame at the powder coaters, so you will not see #22 out there.
Even if you guys don’t make it out there, they allow karts every other Tuesday for track time if you are ever interested. Call the track anytime for details.
Have fun, and Happy New Year!!!All those young bodies in overpowered 125’s will be something for us to watch. Poor old Matty will be in the same old boring stuff in ’04. Heck, with Reese, Jake, Jeff, Greg, Josh, Ace, and a host of others moving up, we may have a successful year in the 80. Thanks guys, we appreciate it!
Second Creek tomorrow is the place to be.

Look at some of the seminars being offered at the Karting Expo in Ill. this Feb. It is posted at: http://www.ekartingnews.com
This is what we should be doing locally right now. Any special topics you want to learn about? This is the thread to post your request.
The first of two seminars will be held in January. Stand by for news.I am smoking what that guest post is smoking. STARS has four races with a World Finals, SKUSA has four pro motos with a Supernational, CA has four races and a final for a State Champ…
10 is going to get in the way for many of us who try to support the local track owners. We set out for CRE and Action track championships along with STARS regional last season. The CSC was the best of all the racing we participated in, however, it did conflict with all of the other schedules. There are only so many weekends for us States who have a true winter season. Don’t wear out a good thing in just it’s second season. I do not see the turnouts in numbers with 10 races. What made the CSC fun for us was the 15-20 80’s at each event we were “able” to attend.
Gotta go light up another one!
Curt[/b]The track this weekend was pretty fast considering the dust and air temps. Matt ran a 53.5 counter clockwise on Saturday. Kart looked like it was handling pretty good.
I would have to say it was about the same as summer as long as your water temp was up, along with your EGT.If the rumor is true about a 10 race CSC series, please allow for (2) drops. Some of those dates will no doubt get in the way of SKUSA, STARS, or Shifter Nationals in OK.
Thanks,
CurtHey, I live in Colorado and he didn’t insult me. I think good old JB can handle himself on this one.
Go get him 34D!We have the place, just need the date. It was going to be in late January, or early Feb. Waiting to get that date in ink.
Doug and I are currently working on a seminar that will be hosted right after the Holidays. This seminar will be especially helpfull for new karters, or karters that would like to learn more on chassis set up, motor tuning, tires, kart maintenance, rules and track etiquette’, or anything else the attendees want. It’s also an opportunity to get off the sofa this winter and get to know some of the folks you see at the track, but are too busy to chat with.
Mike, we may need to use your facility for that one just to mix things up.
Thanks,
Curt KistlerWe tested in one just for grins. You can count on two motors for the initial start up, some teams come to race day with four motors per kart at the STARS level. A complete rebuild after 30 minutes of hard running. Our guess was in the ballpark of $200.00 per rebuild. Got me thinking shifters was more affordable than I thought.
The class itself is the most exciting we have ever wittnessed. Most of the talent in the class comes from European drivers, or teams with more money to spend than the average bear. If you want to learn how to drive, the ICA class is the way to go. One mistake on track and you loose 3-5 positions. Making up that many positions has got to be tough. Get enough interest sparked and we would consider the class at a local level. Try to get the class on race day to a one motor event, IE: 5 minute qualifier, 10 lap semi and 15 lap main might do it. They ran a 25 lap main at Moran and those poor motors were spent.
So far we may have a 4 car field at best. Keep up the thread and lets see where it goes.
Curt KistlerAt this time you can count us in. I will run it by the war department tonight after two bottles of wine. Sounds like a fun weekend.
The ride sounds like it will actually bring a good feeling to those who attend. The other options are:
1) Watch Dick Vermeil cry on national TV
2) Watch Ron White cry on national TVJohn boy did leave a hole in all our hearts, however, now we have Darrell Gardner to cheer for. He might even contribute a 1/2 tackel Sunday.
Welcome to CO Jeff. You can look at the race resluts page from this last seasons classes and see where your program fits in. There are also some pretty good deals on the classified page for used equipment. All of the existing shops are very user friendly at the tracks, and Barry Lewis at Billet Performance is very experienced and offers track support on race day to all of his customers. Give him a call before you decide where you will do your business @ 303-841-4855.
You also have Shockwave in town who is one of the premier kart part manufacturing companies in the US. Doug Welch is pretty available most of the time to talk with about parts and he also heads up the Colorado State Championship if you have any race series questions. 303-781-7829
Hope this helps, I know you will be bombarded with advice over the next week so I will keep my 2 cents short.
Hope to see you at the tracks soon!
