Mark, about 10 of us going from Grand Junction, should be a great week. We will probably stay at Ceasars or Rio..
We had 4 Jr-1’s this weekend all Mini Maxs, we have 2 more in town but they were gone this weekend. What I really like is like Brad said they can be run for at least 2 full season without touching the motor, plus what is nice for me is that I have my hands full running the races, helping both of my kids, putting out fires etc. My daughter checks her own tires, puts in the fuel, lubes the chain grabs me to get it off the stand, pushes the start button and drives off to the grid.
Jeff, the Mini Max is 13hp at sea level, in 2 minutes you can pull out the restrictors for the Jr package which is 19 hp at sea level then from there add a senior cylinder and it bumps to 27 hp at sea level. We are all on the right track talking now so that we can have things worked out for next year. Just a note for Don, my daughter had the 4th best lap time in jr-1 and finished 3rd. I think it was your son that passed her and she passed back. I think put it on the dyno and like you said maybe having a few of the kids drive a mini max would be best, I just like being able to run this motor just like it is for the nex 6 years then throw on a senior cylinder and she can run it another 6 years. It makes great economic sense to me. Plus the electric start is great.
Mike, they say 13 hp at sea level, watching th erace very closely it seems the briggs has better bottom and mid and the mini a little better top, but they were so close at our track.
Guys, thankyou for the complements!!! They are greatly appreciated. Everyone that worked the event for us did a great job and I think we are slowly getting the routine down, still have alot to improve on. One thing that needs to be mentioned is the cooperation from all the drivers and parents, everyone was really good about being in the grid area and ready to go when it was their time, that helps so much and if everyone could please keep that in mind for all the events (Bandimere, IMI) that would be great. It sure makes it easier for everyone. Thanks again to all, it was a group effort and also please tell Brad at IMI thanks when you get a chance, he donated his transponders which helped a bunch and made the event that much better.
Tom, you should of come on over, we have some great vineyards here in Grand Junction.. Zinby, everything is fine, know harm done, we all say things in the heat of the moment that we sometimes regret but when people can apologize that says alot about someones character, You are welcome here anytime and we sure can use your help and input on getting the comer 50 rules set in stone. Great turnout and I think the kids really liked the 4th of July trophies..
On behalf of the GJMS crew we would like to thank everyone for their support and help with making it a great event. Please let us know what we need to work on to improve or change things to make it better for all. It is our goal to promote the best and most organized events possible. It takes the help of all the drivers (who did a great job )to make that happen and everyone was really great this weekend. We had a few fires that were heated at times but that is part of it and people just let the heat of the moment get to them, not a big deal and we are all still friends and competitors. Thanks again to all and please let us know what we can do to make it even better…
Applebee’s is a great sponsor of the track and they are close to the Adams Mark. The Ale House is a great Pub/ resturant that Doug is talking about. Just down the block from the Bistro on Main street is Dolce Vita a great Italian resturant. Might want to check out the downtown area where the Bistor and Dolce Vita are to get an early look at the future race course for Grand Junctions first street race (hint, hint)
Just was notified that the county has put a fireworks ban county wide, so I guess we will not be shooting off fireworks, sorry guys.
Marc, the local guys have actually been running the same gearing as they did going the other direction, the only difference is the speed coming down the sweeper, it is faaaaast!!!
Yes, the track will be going the other direction, it is a balst that way! Most of the guys are running the same gearing on the Rotax.. Should be some awesome racing, heard a bunch of the Utah Rotax guys are coming..
