Pro Racing

At the banquet last year, we gave away Season Pass dicounts for the top three in season points.  If you have one, be sure to use it before the expiration on March 15.  50% off your season entries is WAY to good to let go, and there are several we haven't seen yet this spring.

And, the track is in good shape for this weekend if the weather is!

Our booth at the Auto Show is going well.  The effort is paying off with LOTS of new interest in the property and karting in general.  Kris and I are very happy we've done this, and we still have the second weekend to go.

More info on the Friday Night Leagues and the our Adrenaline Addict Car Show will be coming after the weekend.

There seems to be a lot of talk.  This isn’t unusual in winter, as karters balance wanting to go faster with their budget.  I thought I would share a little about how we go about adding classes – what works and what doesn’t.

We've been asking your thoughts, reading your emails, and telling you a decision is near.  It's final.

With exceptions for Spec Racer, Kid Kart, and Shifter, we will have a Bridgestone YKC tire spec for 2010.  Our Class Structure page is updated & current. This will put us in line with the Route 66 Series, as well as many of the surrounding local tracks.

Spec Racer will continue unchanged with the MG IR compound.

Kid Kart & Shifter will have open tires.

Kris built a Facebook page, and we'd dig it if you'd check it out.  Click the link, or search on Facebook for JET Karting.

[update] Just found out how to change the url for the page to www.facebook.com/jetkarting

As many of you know, the HPV is now imported and sold through Lynn Haddock rather than Horstman.  The only substantial changes are to the clutch and name.  At CHMS, we will allow either old or new clutch within guidelines.

The engine has been renamed the KOMET Piston Valve. This really doesn't affect us more than a new name for the class.

At the end of last season, looking through attendance records as well as comments from racers, we saw 'early morning practice' loosing popularity.  This season will have an increased Group Practice time, with a slightly earlier start time.

I have heard interest through the winter in the Sr. Supercan class.  I'd love to have it strong here again.  If you are interested in running it this summer, I'll make you a really good deal on a season pass. Email me, and we'll work it out.  We need to have at least 3 karts for a class, but would like to have many more.

Don't wait.  Now is the time to help me organize this class for 2010!

We are finalizing plans for 2010, and would like to know what our racers are thinking.  Our question this week is whether to spec MG Yellow, Bridgestone YKC, or both?  If we change to Bridgestone only, should there be a grace period to use up MG’s in the first part of the season?

We had our schedule posted, but our first race conflicted with the Route 66 first race.  Since we would like to schedule around the Route 66 Series, we have moved opening race to the 10th of April.
