The race will be on Speed, Oct 29 at 3:00pm eastern time. They did show a bit of it during the ALMS broadcast. They did talk about Adrian, showed some of the opening lap and the podium.
It has been a pleasure to know this young man over the years. I wish him continued sucess.
I did a similar survey after the first season of the CSC. If I remember right, I got about 20 responses. The results were fewer races, fewer classes, better on track race direction, better tech. Not much has changed in 3 years!
I think there were a few class track records set. For being cold, the guys managed to find plenty of grip and the cold weather let the motors make BIG power.
Colby Yardley in MinMax 56.677
Cody Tracy in Spec honda 52.744
Greg Welch in Tag Senior 54.543I didn’t check all the classes, any more records?

Is the K80 being phased out soon? I did here that a new K60 or C60 may be taking its place. If we go with the K80, do we buy a K80 going to buy and obsolite motor?
No
The K80 is widely accepted and readly available. You can pick up engines cheap and as our driver showed this past weekend, they are pretty quick also. It is not going to be obsolete any time soon.
I also can not believe that the Animal is going any where next year. There are too many of them around so I’m sure there will be a place for them. I think the confusion comes from where will they have that place. Club or Regional, we keep getting the two mixed up.

I thought the CSC was a state level series. Regional to me means several states in a region. That would mean several races out of state. Am I wrong here or am a missing something? :idn:
I can easily understand the confusion. In general, karting has 3 levels of racing. Club level races are held at one track only. Regional level races are held at several tracks and National events cover a much wider geographical area. Back east, a “regional” series often may cover several states but you have to remember, states are much smaller back there. For example, a 4 hour drive out of Chicago gives you 5 states! If we drive 4 hours we get to Wyoming. A regional series in Southern California, never leaves SoCal. A regional series in the upper midwest covers 4 or 5 states, yet the geographical area is about the same.
To me, club racing is where the new racers should play. Regional racing costs more money (equipment and travel) and is a place for better club racers and national level drivers looking for more. National level is national.
While it’s no secret I want us to race in the rain, the decision they made was the correct one given the politics here in Colorado. There is a long standing tradition here that we do not race in the rain.
It’s a shame that the rain let up before the stockers took to the track. It would have been great fun to watch them drive in the wet condidtions with the higher hp karts. By the time they went out, it was dry.
This only underscores the need to raise the bar for the CSC. Regional series race in the rain. Club series do not. Regional series often run under national sanctioning body rules, club series often do not. Is the CSC a regional series or a club series?
I wanna know the over/under for laps completed in the main event by Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I may want in on that action.
Oh lighten up everyone. I think most of us are just having a little fun. Do we need to have some “Yo Mama” jokes?
