Friday Night League Extra CANCELLED

We have misty rain and cool temperatures and a damp track.  We will cancel our extra Friday Night League racing for this evening.  We will try this again next week.

HALLOWEEN 100 LAP RACE

We have been approached with a request to modify our 100 lap race rules to allow drivers to use different karts in their driving sessions.  We currently allow a single kart with one or more drivers.  The change, if approved, would allow each driver to have his own kart.  This was requested to help a team with two significantly different sized drivers compete as one team.  As before, ALL karts on track MUST be at legal weight and transponders would have to be changed at pit stops and of course only one kart on track at a time.  I am looking for feedback on the pro’s and con’s in considering this change.  We will probably need to enhance our rules package if we allow this.  Help us consider this.

KID KART SEASON POINTS

We were questioned about our season end Kid Kart point totals soon after they were posted.  We performed a very in-depth review of the points and had LONG discussions among the staff yesterday.  It was a time of reviewing/analyzing our performance and judgment in making calls.  We then asked the two parties to join us this morning so we could answer their questions and explain our position.  We wanted to be VERY certain both parties were told the same consistent story.  We don’t have a “dog in the fight” so our emotions were set aside while we pursued the right answer to provide a level playing field.  It is obvious to us that even though our rules are published on the website, they are not all clear to each racer.  We explained the points system, drops, tech, DQ’s, and a variety of other issues.  Earlier in the year, we allowed an impaired driver (fell asleep on the grid and did not start) last place points for showing up.  We honestly do not feel we would EVER do that again so we reversed that call.  This has caused some disgust for some.  I feel the need to post this as social media is running wild with posts from disgusted and ill informed persons.

Race Cancelled

We have experienced rain over night, and currently have a wet track.  It is sun-shining at this time, but forecasts afternoon showers.  We don’t believe we can get a full event in in a timely manner.  We regret having to cancel but think it is the intelligent thing to do.  There will be no make up.

Friday Night League Cancelled

We have had intermittent light rain for the last few hours.  The track is damp and our drying conditions are forecasted to be poor for the next few hours.

We will cancel tonight’s race and run it next week with our traditional session end/pizza party and awards night.

See you all next Friday!
