    Larry,
    Thanks for the kind words.
    The motor I was having fun playing with was the Rotary Axiro 50.
    It has been great to use as a tool for driving schools, and out having FUN!!!
    The rebuild time is 300 hours, and it uses a shifter chain with a steel sproket, so wear and tear is almost nothing (except brakes and tires!!!)

    I agree with the noise. Mike from Barrys shop somehow thinks loud is fast, but that was put to bed yesterday.
    He won’t be welcomed back if he shows up with that again.

    Thanks to all for coming out and playing yesterday…
    LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

    See you this weekend,
    JIm

    Andy,
    We will look forward to seeing all of you out this way in a few weeks.
    I try to make it easy out here.
    You may bring your own tires, fuel and oil. It is available at The Track if you need it.
    Practice for Sat is $35.00.
    The Race registration is on the Web site under the racing link.
    http://www.thetrack.us
    Call or e-mail me with any questions or pit space requirements.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    John,
    Together.
    A full field is 36-38 karts. Until we get to that number, the group will run as one. Believe me, you will need the practice in a large field just as much as seat time with the Mojo’s. Don’t let the tire difference matter to you. I bet the lap times at The Track are the same be it yellows or Mojo’s.
    Besides, if you are not in the low 57’s or high 56’s in Masters, you better be out putting in laps. The rest is just bench racing.

    Don,
    Here are the Track fees for the year.

    Thanks for your interest.

    Test/tune $35.00 per day
    Club race fee $50.00
    Transponder rental – if available $5-$10 (don’t know which yet.)
    Reserved pit space 10X20 $15.00
    First come-first served pit space – Free.
    Leaving your trailer overnight Sat. is considered a reserved pit space and will be charge for two days of spaces (sat – sun.)
    Pit pass – $10.00 per person. 1 included with entry.

    RMax challenge. Must present your license with entry and select Mile High Challenge on form. N/C. (Fee for license paid to RMax).
    Scored sperate, run with like classes, unless numbers dictate splitting. Still get points for Club series as well as RMax points towards Grand Nationals.

    The Track multi use pass – We will be selling a punch card this year. Buy 10, get 12. This is a 20% savings for you. You can purchase these punch cards at The Track in the next week or so.

    Thanks, and one more thing. The Track reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason… SO, from this point on… SNOW IS NOT WELCOME AT THE TRACK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!

    Hope this helps…
    Jim

    Rich, all of this info except the punch card has been on our site for a year now.
    Thanks.

    Oh No…
    I’m gonna need a long stick hanging over my head with a cold frosty green-bottled beverage in front of me to run that far…

    Hello,
    I would be prepared to have a mounting location in both places.
    Drill your holes to mount it behind the seat for the Rmax only race, (If you are signed up), and put it back for the rest of the races 10″ behind the kingpin if you want.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Tom,
    I can only post what is in writing from the RMax Office.
    Call them.
    Thanks,
    Jim
    ps. Have you signed up for a series yet?

    Dave,
    Yes, Transponders are required IF you want to be scored. If you want to start from the back of the pack each Main, then, NO transponders are not required.
    Brad has been nice enough to supply them over the years, however the “charge” isn’t holding for more than 1/2 a day.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Les,
    I agree with you.
    Lets see what Brad comes up with for re-charging the batteries…
    Yes, you may switch a transponder between all of your entries as long as they are out different times on the track.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    For an average of 135 karts at the CSC, that is a $33,750 “investment?”
    For them to be “provided” or “rented” for $5.00?

    The other side of the coin…

    Joe,
    Yes, you will need a transponder. If Brad has all of his working, we will have them same as last year. However, I know they are expensive, but the racers really should buy their own.
    We have enough for the rental fleet and thats all.
    The “race day” activities will be the same for the challenge as the club race, the only difference so far is we need to score a little differently for those of you doing both.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    ps You dio not need to fill the number in on your form. We can take care of that at registration.

    OK…Monday, chasing Mickey in his rotary around the Track in 30 degree’s We both almost got frost bite on our hands, but lap times were in the low 56’s.

    We would let the hands warm up for 10 min. and head back out, only to drive into the snow bank going slow on the track entrance. The tires were so cold again, the karts would not turn. 5 laps later, we could get back on it.

    We should be open again later tomorrow after the sun melts the blowing snow.
    Stay tuned…
    Jim
