    Saw this trailer about 2 months ago while surfing the internet at school. It looks like a great film.

    Also found out Dwayne the Rock Johnson was a producer for the film.

    Chris,

    Great points on how SKUSA racing is thriving here in Colorado, due to the great people involved from the SKUSA MR team-to the racers in the pits. Thanks once again to you and your family for your continuing support of SKUSA.

    Having the best seat in the house up in the scoring tower gave me a great view of the flat out awesome racing on sunday.
    Biggest field of S5 drivers in the state, and parts of the country provided great racing. Cole, Christian, and Austin were fun to watch all day sunday.

    TaG Sr: All I can say after those 2 heats and the main is WOW. Sabre and SKUSA newcomer Rory Mackey put on a flat out show in all of their races. Sabre edging out Mackey by 2 100ths of a second at the line in the first heat, Rory coming back to win heat #2, and then the INSANE main event. What must have been over 10 passes for the lead in the main in the first 10 laps!

    And then the S2 S4 and G1 race. Matt Kistler, what a stud. 2 years out of the game, comes back to smoke everyone. Jet Davis, my friend doing work in S4 to win in his class, and Dave Conyers the winner in G1.

    Over all great racing, great fun and even better people.

    Im just grateful that AJ, Cris, and Curt let me be a part of such a great program.

    Jeeez….. Looks like I need to be making some postings in the classifieds now. 2 karts, couple hundred dollars in tools, a trailer, and just to totally remind me what a waste the last 3 years were, about 15 trophys from multiple tracks.
    I mean, after not being able to race at the Pepsi Center last year, or this year, 3 years of actual racing and 5 years of being involved in this sport, I thought I could hopfully just maybe be considered a racer.

    Guess not!

    And for not being a true racer, I apologize to everyone who’s valuable time I have wasted, especially you Mike. I should have known there’s just some people who I will never be on the same level as.

    I just feel like a dumb ass right now, for 4 years, I’ve been kidding myself thinking I was a racer.
    Thanks for finally clueing me in Mike!

    Angie,

    Just wanted to echo Doug’s comments. While a few of us can get caught up in petty little things that just dont matter, nearly all of us take advantage of a great site and a great admin.
    You have, and CONTINUE to do so much for colorado karting in an effort to better it.

    So thank your for all you do for us absent minded racers.

    Troy,
    You made an excellent choice going with Rick and his team (I know, who would have thought a year ago that I would be saying that)
    Anyway, Ive been in Ricks Conifer shop and he wastes no time getting to work, he and his guys settle for nothing but the best.
    Rick if I ever get in an accident once I begin driving, I know what your sayin “C’mon its Tony, He’ll NEVER get in a wreck!!” 😆 Im comin straight to you.
