JR HIGH & HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIES

We would like to congratulate Myles and Gavin for their efforts in our first session in 2019.  Since Myles has graduated 8th grade, he will be moving to High School for the upcoming session.  Come and challenge him.

We already have some signed up for each academy which will be starting later in July.  As a bonus to those who sign up PRIOR to July 4, we will be including a free practice session.  Come and polish your skills in the karts you will be driving.

THANK YOU SKUSA

This post is long overdue as a thank you to all who made last weekend great.  SKUSA is reviving the regional series and while the numbers were smaller than desired, the quality of both officiating and competition were present.  Weather leading up to the weekend was “challenging” to get the facility ready but the racing days were blessed with no on-track delays and only a brief intense shower during the “social” hour.  If you missed out this year, check them out and consider joining the fun next time.

HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMY

Our first High School Academy starts tonight.  We have had numerous questions but only one commitment.  Plan to be here, signed up, and ready for drivers meeting at 6PM.  Since it seems to rain VERY regularly lately, we will post a weather cancellation at 4PM if that happens.  We have done some testing and are going to ballast to driver weight of 150 for the opening night.

Join us for a reasonably priced ($200 including driver pass in our rental karts) 5 race academy.  Call today to enter to eliminate signup delays.

BLOCK PARTY THANK YOU

Thanks to all that contributed to the block party event.  This is several years now we have had this event and each year it seems better.  We were quite pleased with the effort put forth in the driving challenges.  This is a different type of competition and allows for some camaraderie as well.  The “206” challenge along with the “rental” challenge worked well and gave drivers too small for the rental karts a chance to compete.

Let us know if you have other “funday” ideas.

WELCOME SKUSA

We will be hosting the SKUSA event this weekend so there will be no rental or practice time.  On Friday, for those who would like to start practicing for the event, we will sell 3 day wristbands and you may also practice for $25/driver.  Wristbands can be purchased if it makes it easier for you on Sat.  Those needing pit space rentals will also be available.

Join us for practice 10-6 Fri, or better yet, join in the fun for the weekend.

BLOCK PARTY TOMORROW

Our “funday” block party is about here.  We hope the weather let’s us run our driving  challenge at 2PM and let’s us eat and visit at 6PM.  Bring your family and enjoy.

Our driving challenge will consist of some different layouts which favor precision rather than just speed.  There will be cones setup around a shortened course and IF you move any there will be time added to your lap time.  After everyone gets a try, in the same go kart, you will be given a chance to run it again.  If you choose to run again, your old time will be disallowed and your new time recorded.  Adding your times for each racing event together will determine the winner.  The cost is a only a purchased wristband.

We will open at 10 for rentals and practice, 12-6 on Sun and closed on Mon.

SKUSA returns

SKUSA is returning to CHMS in about 2 weeks.  SKUSA is revitalizing their regional racing programs from years past.  Join us on Sat/Sun June 1,2 to see some fine racing.

Pit space reservations are being taken.  Call Matt after reviewing the map and spreadsheet to select your spot.  Facility questions should be directed to us while ALL race rules/operations should be directed to SKUSA.

BLOCK PARTY PLANNING for May 25th

This weekend we have our first race day, since the first weathered out, next weekend is our Block Party, with the week after hosting a SKUSA race (more on that later).

Soooo………… what’s in store for the “Block Party”?  We have scheduled this over the past years as a fun social event day but we ARE a racetrack and competition creeps into the agenda for a great group of you.

We will have open practice/rentals and possibly some fun-type races from 10-6 which is when we will eat.  CHMS plans to furnish “sandwiches” while we would like you to bring some “dish to pass” and your choice of beverage.

At 2PM we will start our “Block party challenge” which will consist of 4 different medium speed precision driving challenges for each entrant.  These will be a timed lap with obstacles (cones) to avoid.  Time will be added for each cone movement.  Adding times for ALL 4 events will determine a winner.  These events will focus MORE on precision than on lap times to avoid giving regular racers an unfair speed advantage.  We will use the same rental kart for ALL drivers for consistency.  You will be given 2 chances to perfect your time on each event.  Cost is only a $15 wristband (good for all day), season passes not honored.  Please advise if you own a 206 kart and would like to have a separate class?

Save the date, bring the family, and look for more details next week.

ALL-DAY DRIVING
