OK,
Heres what I think…
The only Tech is one rep. per team to check on the 45 min. required pit stop/driver change. No need for scales, tires, etc…Flaggers, and pit spot layout. I think we need a required 5 min “in pit” delay. Once you pit for fuel/driver, you have to stay at least 5 min. prior to entering back on the track.
Run what you brung. Has to be a sprint kart.. normal safety equipment, and pre tech stuff…Entry fee… $100.00 per team??? 1/2 to IMI for flaggers, 1/2 to The Karter.
10 teams min. to run. 2 trophies… 1 gearbox, 1 single speed.I can handle registration if you want.
Race starts at 10:00am, ends at 1:00pm. weather permitting.Brad, does this work for you?
One last idea…
We all have our charity of choice, so I say the proceeds go to The Colorado Karter…,
and each of us still give to who you normally help this time of year.
JimHello,
Since this really is about being able to finish the race at all, I say you score it as:
1) most laps shifter kart – open,
2) most laps single speed – open.
Throw away the weights, class motors, DD2 is a shifter, must change drivers every 45 min. max. and 2 drivers min. per team.
Only adult classes or drivers (14 +?), all karts on the track same time.Fueling, tires, red bull, coffee, head slaps, profanity, brakes, “what were you thinking???!!!” all subject to each teams discretion. Have to change drivers no later than 45 min.
Angie starts timing, drives to I Hop, has a warm breakfast, reads the paper, has seconds on coffee, drives back to track, actually going 35 MPH down the access road, comes to a full stop at the stop sign, talks to gate keeper, scopes out the entire parking lot for a parking space, slowly walks thru the shop/office, says “Hi” to Bobby and Brad again, checks out Mylaps for other race results around the country, edits a few post on the Karter, walks around the paddock, wishes Cole was racing with the twins (thinks they would win this EASY), moseys up to scoring tower, checks on time remaining, walks back to shop/office, thinks about class structure for next year, prepares for next weeks meeting/party, walks over to Team Dog House and tells them they are the best (as far as we know), skips up to scoring tower (thank you Jager Bomb!!!) and gets ready to turn off timing and declare a winner.
Team Jansen does pretty much the same thing after Mike makes it two laps and dies near the hairpin. Teammates to lazy to walk and go fetch kart and fix it, so they go to breakfast with Angie…
This sounds like a BLAST!!!!
Jim (can you say AR-50?)
Happy Holidays all,
The Track at Centennial plans on having a 2008 Rotax Mile High Challenge. Details will be worked out as we get the entire 2008 schedule up and posted.
Thanks,
JimPat,
You are so correct. Birel has an extended porch, and they are great karts. So are a lot of ones out there. The point is, seat time, seat time, seat time. Drive, drive and drive some more.
Fuzzy, we can help if you are interested.
JimThis race will not count for points. I will try to have a race each month if the weather behaves.
Thanks,
JimThanks to everyone that was out playing today at The Track. As I watch the weather forcast, today should of been the day for the last race.
I was going to wait until tomorrow, however, to save you the time from driving here and “wait and see”, I’m canceling the race tomorrow.
I hope everyone has drained the motors and has a great “winter” sunday.
Thanks,
JimDavid and all,
It is truely exciting to see a member of the Colorado Karting family “leave the sandbox”. And I don’t mean any of us just off racing elsewhere. I’m am so proud and happy for the both of you and the next level. Congrats. David is such a great, smooth driver, and drove with class and grace.
Thanks for giving us a chance and don’t forget to write…
All my best,
JimWe will be running downhill (clockwise) on Oct.14th.
It is NOT a double points race.
We will start 1 hour later due to daylight. 9:00am
Gates will still open at 6:00am
Thanks,
and hope to see all at IMI for the TaG race this weekend.
JimBrian,
Thanks for coming out and playing in the heat. Now if we only had some “trees” (ha, ha)… Tell you dad Hi,
JimGates open at 6:00am
5 min. warm up – Kid Karts, Juniors, TaGs, Shifters.
Qual starts at 8:45.
Heats at 11:00, Mains at 1:30.
Trophies at 4:30.
Thanks
Rotation posted Sunday morning after everyone decides to sign up.Hello,
I’m going to post the race day schedule shortly for the CSC as well as the July 22 race.
We will not have a practice for either one.
The 5 min warm up will be by groups.
1) Kid Karts
2) all juniors and briggs.
3) all TaGs.
4) all shifters.
Yes,
there might be 40-50 karts on the track at once in the TaG and shifter class, but this is a “warm-up” session to make sure everything is in working order, not a race.
That is 20 min in the morning, then its on to qualifying by class.
Thanks,
Jim
