Spec Racer

This coming Saturday is a night race, and so organized practice begins at 3:30.  We have been asked by some racers to allow practice in the morning as well.  Since we don't have any Group Outings scheduled this time, we can do that.

Open Practice will be 10am - 2pm, for $20.  Any Season Practice Passes will be valid for the morning.

See you then!

Backwards practice tomorrow, the 8th, and again on the 15th.

It will be ONLY backwards practice for the day, and there will not be rentals at all.

Normal practice fees apply.  $33 drivers, $13 crew, unless you have a season pass.  All practice passes still apply.

All our barriers are up, and we're ready to go.  Hope to see you here!

'Race it' on Saturday night under the lights forwards for season points, then we 'Reverse it' to run backwards Sunday!

There will be LOTS of TecPro barriers to keep things safe with the different runoff areas, and we'll have to highly modify the grid to keep racers and crew out of the spin-zone, but we've got plans to cover all that.  Add in some cool party plans Saturday night, and we foresee lots of grinnin' and laughin'.  Sunday's race will not count for season points.

Ok, so the radar is not looking great at the moment, but we don't race until late.  Good thing.  Mid-day weather is wet for sure.  Evening has a chance.  If it can be done, we'll make it happen.

I'll post more updates through the day on my twitter account: www.twitter.com/jetkarting

This Saturday is Points Race 2, and the first of the Mechanics races for the season.  We'll be running them every other points race all year long, open to everyone.

Races are run during intermission with a practice/qualify session, a short break, and a 10 lap final.  Sign up in registration if you are interested in running!

Starting this weekend, we will be asking racers to verify ages for racing.  Racers with a drivers license may use that, and others will need to provide a copy of a birth certificate by Points Race 3 on May 8.  Birth certificates may be a copy, and do not need to have an official seal.

There has been a lot of behind the scenes discussion this winter about a clone class, and we are ready to announce that we will host one this season.  The advantages of the clone class are the possibility of very low startup costs and the ability to run at other tracks across the nation.  I will be finalizing the rule wording during the coming days, but wanted to share the concept that we will be using now.  The existence of the clone class will not change the hosting or intent of the Spec Racer class.

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.
