So, if I could get these things approved thru RMAX would you guys want to run in conjunction with the CSC event or am I wasting time trying to get that approved?
Hey guys I have another call into the higher powers and want them to get on the here and answer these questions so that we have them clear..
The reasoning for running the RMAX events in conjunction with our 2 CSC events is:
1. encourage more people to sign up and run the RMAX series
2. make it more affordable ( points in both CSC and RMAX one set of travel expenses..)We are commited to the RMAX series and see this as a way to develop the Concept into it’s own stand alone series in the future….
Rich, there is a new needle a K98 that is approved for 2005, is that what you are talking about or are you talking about the “other” carb that people have been running?

It is the responsibility of the Racer and the RMax Challenge Series Administrator to insure all competitors hold a valid 2005 Rotax Max License. License provides constant communication between driver and Rotax directors to insure all drivers understand the rules of Rotax and information. At venues where participation numbers require classes to run together all those entered in the Official Rotax Class(es) must follow all Rotax Series Rules and specifications. Official race report sent to the US Rotax Administrator should only include those who hold a current license in that class, in that series.
Jerry, I agree, thanks again to Doug and Greg for making the trip over and doing a great job!! Also all that attended, we appreciate your support. It looks like it is going to be a great season..
Brian, we have 8 running over here now, plus a few more that are on hold until the CSC stuff is finalized.. If you want to try one come on over… They are the coolest for the kids..
That would be a blast! I sure miss racing the bikes.. as for Graham, the last time I raced him was on the vintage bikes, I caught him and made the pass with only 2 laps to go, I was on a 74′ CR-125 Graham on a 250 Cr, He goes totally crazy because I was on the 125 and on the last lap cleans us both off the track.. he is a wildman…
Duff, as the Track owner we are allowed to make a few exceptions such as the tire rule.. Last year we did not run on YGKs but YHCs also Rotax is coming out with a new needle for 2005 that I understand will be legal for 2005 RMAX..
Dennis, talked with SSC about running them together and got the ok, so anyone that signs up for the Rotax Max Challenge will receive seperate points for that series.. example: if you are a RMAX member and say finish 10th at the CSC event but are 1st RMAX member you would receive 1st place points.. Hope that makes sense..
Doug, should be a great class.. we have 75 reservations so far.. just kidden about 25 sor far.. hopefully the weather will hold out and we can drive in the afternoon.. Thanks again for taking the time to help us out..
Marc, we will meet at the Adams Mark on Horizon Dr. Class is from 9:00 to 12:00 break for lunch and then as long as the weather is good we wil go to the track and do some trackside stuff.. I wil e-mail you the registration form. fill it out and fax it back to me… I sure wish I could go sledding 🙁 my neck is so messed up I will miss this year, going in for surgery on Feb. 8th hopefully that will fix it..
