Thanks Dave, I hope Everest heals up and is back soon. Also good to hear some of the input on why our entries are low which seems to be cost is a big factor. All input is appreciated and we need to fix this as a group so feedback is good.
I agree with Mike no one is intentionally cheating. Mike is one of the best and has always been more than helpful checking anything for us that is in question which includes checking our emulsion tubes, squish etc.
We have so many fast kids in Colorado right now and it unfortunately is really sad how low the turnouts have been. I don’t know what the real cause is but would like to hear why people are not showing up. So many people that love the sport are trying to do the best they can to give us all a place to race and do their part for very little if any compensation. When they finally get tired and give up what are we going to do then?
As a track owner it makes zero financial sense to hold a karting event right now. If we didn’t love the sport and the people we would not hold a single kart race at GJMS and instead focus on rental and corporate events which is what pays the bills at most facilities.
Greg now has rental and corporate events up and rolling and i believe they will run it professionally and like it should be which means they will be so busy with rentals and corporate events that financially it will make zero sense to support any racing. If that happens and both GJMS and Podium are gone what will happen to the racing? I believe karting in Colorado is in terrible trouble and the next few years are going to be interesting.
We all dream of the old CSC days when we had 150 entries and incredible racing with 30+ 125 pro shifters and all the classes running with big fields, now everyone sits on the sidelines and talks about how fast they are then gets on the internet and complain about everything.
Lots of incredible people in the Colorado karting community it is to bad we all can’t work together and leave the drama at home.
