    Greg , I must admire your patience , 1998 you say , well please forgive me for not remembering you !
    I try to give each one of my customers a little bit more in return than they expect , thinking they may think well of me !
    If you have a problem , why haven’t you come to me to see if we could work things out ?
    Five years seems like a long time .
    I’ll bet if you would call or E-mail , we would probably end up good friends .

    Thank you A.J. , How quickly others forget the many hours , many, many dollars it costs ,as well as dedication from a lot of people to bring our local talent to the top of this very competitive sport .

    Josh , what a great idea , as you know , we , Action Karting hosted several Motard races last year and would be happy to do it again.
    The problem is , the coordinator of the Motard races has left Colorado and so far no one has stepped up to take his place .

    Don’t forget about Jared Scarberry , he also won at Las Vegas Nationals on a DFM !
    Dominic Francisco Mancini is the name you were looking for !
    The new DFM’s will be here in a few days , please stop by and take a look , many improvements .
    Thanks to Doug and Josh for setting the record straight !

    P.S. I did not win any National Titles , Just (2) Regionals !

    I think you will find that there is enough “Masters” to justify a “Senior” class for TAG , as you all know , if we run two or more classes together at Bandimere , they are gridded according to qualifiing times . and scored separately !
    We can be inclusive and accomodate various sanctioning bodies weight and age requirements.
    Although some drivers feel age is not important , I tend to think it is!
    Being 63 , racing 16 yr olds may seem exciting to some , but I’d rather not race against my grand-children.

    I’ve been trying to find out just what a “Speedo” is ,Perhaps one of you young Whipper-snappers would tell me!
    One thing , I’ve been known to move a “Speedy” Shifter-Kart around the race track which is more than “Blink” can do !

    Most of you racers are making valid points , the need for a multi faceted tech team is definately needed , as well as the specific tool and instruments to do the job !
    Let’s make a list of the qualified candidates


    Hmmm no one comes to mind , it must be some one who knows 2-stroke moto motors , 2-stroke clutch kart motors , 4-stroke (including Briggs & Biland) motors , c’mon , help me with this .
    The race director , if we decide to have just one , will most likely be an (APPOINTED) rather than an elected person !

    Dane it appears to me that “King George” does NOT intend to allow Leopards race with the Rotaxes , correct me if I’m wrong , but I gather he will form a new class , if 4 or more show up !

    I hope all of you responding on this thread realize exactly why the CSC series was formed in the first place !
    Let me remind you , in case you’ve forgotten —
    I’ll start with SKUSA , their reprutation for changing rules during the race season dates way back to the first year that the G-1 class was formed , Age 40 & up , then with profound wisdom , just before the Las Vegas Race , SKUSA announces the age requirement was dropped to age 35 !
    We can speculate on many reasons as to why this was done , I have my own thoughts . Then , later SKUSA decides not to invite the Novice 125 racers to any National events and hosts a National Amature Championship race , But the “AMATURES” were not invited ! Go figure !
    The elimination of S-2 replacing it with a MX class still befuddles me ,Life seemed so simple when we had S-1 , S-2 ,S-3 and G-1 , the ladder system was clear-cut ! Take a look at it now !
    Confusion reins !
    SKUSA has had little , or no leader-ship since Rusty Newberry was re-placed , here in the Mountain Region !
    Now then , the IKF , is yet another story , I am amused and astonished , at the non-growth !
    We want to race and have fun without all the politics !
    Let’s keep changes to an absolute minimum , Any one who wants to race the CSC series will have someone to race with and will have little trouble re-configuring their Kart to comply with SKUSA OR IKF , in most cases all they have to do is add or subtract some weights !

    Good post Chaz , Lets not forget about the corner workers , and the great job Doug has done for us (gratis) !
    Since we are throwing around ideas , what if we didn’t change anything ??
    or — How about 5 races at each of the 3 tracks , one at Steam Boat (double points) with 2 throw-outs , and cancel all club racing ?

    It’s great to hear all the suggestions , please type them out in triplicate if you want your ideas to be considered .
    Since it is obvious that we will again have just the three tracks to be included you should know that the Bandimere track will be improved (bumps are slated to be removed before the snow flies) , More asphalt to be laid , one more pit lane , AND the track will be run backwards soon!
    The walls are up on our new building ,electric and paint is scheduled later this week — looks like we will be warm this winter , c’mon out take a look around !
    regards , J.B.
