2022-2023 Winter Schedule

We are starting our winter hours this week. Moving forward please call to confirm a time to come out to the track with respect to normal business hours. We would like to thank everyone for another successful race season. If we don’t see you before the year’s end, we wish everyone a happy, merry and safe holiday season and we’ll see you in 2023!

We will be closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. We will also be closed on Sundays through the Winter.

WHAT’S NEXT????

I was getting ready to post a tentative schedule for next year when Randy forwarded a survey which Randy had run on FB. The top item on the poll was having a flagman in the flag stand (in addition to the corner lights). I phoned Randy and asked if he knew who any of the 26 who voted were and were all racers at CHMS. He did not know. Next I asked if they were talking about white/checkered (which has been mentioned in an email) or the green as well. He was not sure. I then asked if he thought that would stop the complaining and he stated that complaining would probably continue but change to something else.

At the banquet, which was attended by less than 50% of racers we were going to give awards, I suggested that I was concerned about trying to have an in person meeting because:

1. You have to SHOW UP – not everyone comes and some only with a personal agenda
2. You have to SPEAK UP – this has to be civil and not just the loudest person protesting
3. You have to COMPROMISE – decisions need to be for the betterment of the group/sport
4. You have to be PREPARED – ideas presented need to be thoroughly thought about

I asked for ideas to be emailed at drivers meetings and THANK YOU to those who have sent things in. I have received nothing since banquet. Most series/clubs are run by a select group (board) which decides things, sometimes with input from others outside of the core group. Typically, the greatest majority of complainers have no experience or a logical solution to present. Does anybody wish to volunteer to flag?

If you have read this far, I will calm down from this ranting and get back to productive items soon.

Monday, July 4th Hours

We will be closed, Monday July 4th to celebrate Independence Day and reopen for normal business hours on Tuesday the 5th. The weekend prior will be regular business hours.

Sunday July 10th 1776 Summer Enduro

We will be holding an enduro event in honor of the 4th of July. The event will consist of 4 segments each being 1776 seconds long to go with the July 4 theme. At the end of each segment there will be a 5 minute break, during which the karts will be adjusted using the dice and doin format we’ve used in the past. Cost is $300 per team until July 3rd. Starting July 4th entry increases to $350 per team.

-Four Segments each 1776 seconds in length (roughly 30 minutes)

-Kart order adjusted during segment breaks using Coin/Dice Format

-Entry Fee $300 per team until July 3rd, $350 starting July 4th

-Drivers pass and Kart insurance included with Entry Fee

KA100 Class addition

It has been suggested that we should offer the KA100 class as an add to our Points races. Adding a new class always presents some new dilemmas. What if I am the only one that shows up is a major consideration. To be sure we have at least a small class each raceday, I would like to see at least 5 commitments to the season so if one can’t make it this week, there is still a class. To encourage this I am willing to reduce the entry fee for a year commitment. We have 12 scheduled races left yet this year (race 1 & 3 have rained out and will be made up). Normal raceday entry fee is $70. I will reduce that to $50/race which means $600 for the rest of the year. I will hold this pricing for three weeks and if we can get 5 or more to enter, then we will start the class. If you sign up, and pay, and it does not happen, you will get a full refund. Suggested tire was MG SH (red) and suggested weight was 360. There are many karts in the area so let’s make this happen. You can comment below or email the shop if you have other ideas.

2022 BLOCK PARTY – May 28

Join us for a day of fun and socializing. We have no special theme this year so invent one and come. We will have open practice from 10-1ish for the reduced price of $25. At 1PM we will start our “precision” driving challenge. This is a moderate speed event with emphasis on accuracy around different courses and then combining your times to select a winner. You will get 2 attempts at each course if you choose. Because this is moderate speed in our rental kart, even those without racing experience stand a good chance of winning. Entry fee is only $10 with 5 going into the purse divided among the best. We will furnish sandwiches at 6PM but please call and let us know a head count so we can order food. Bring your own drinks of choice and a dish to pass if you would like. Socialize with your friends, or make new ones, after eating. Let us know you are attending and see you Sat.
