1 - I would support every one of those races if it were at all possible.....I think everybody probably knows where my priorities are and why. With that, I must say only one - HPT in Oct. with the exception to a possible visit to Daytona for which I've planted a bug in my fellow travelers ears from years past when travel was far more economical. There is interest but no way to get solid commitment as of today. Even then, the basis of that interest comes from a desire to get the ole group of friends together for a road trip when there isn't any regional racing going on.

2 - Again, I would love to race on every one of those tracks but......see above.

Jordan, Dillon, and I will support these races
Hopefully people leave the stupid bodywork rule alone, Superkarts are not (SPEC) karts, stop trying to make them that.

One good thing the superkart community should do is support the other kart orgs, and it looks like they might this year, thats great.
If the Superkart group only supports the CAR/Bike group, you can count us out, as we will not support anyone not helping support the kart orgs!!!!!!! We love to race with other Karters!!!!!

I'd love to go to Gateway again someday but unfortunately, CES and KART schedules put races too close together for me to handle during that time. Maybe someday the two orgs can work together more like they did in the past.

On a side note, KART has begun to race at Motorsports Park Hastings in Nebraska and the track owner/operator has been VERY supportive of kart road racing so that event can't be missed by me this year. The track condition, layout, and facility is outstanding from what I understand.....something to consider anyway..... April 20-21, 2013. I can't say for sure without contacting KART event promoters but I'd be willing to bet that the club would indeed be more than willing accommodate superkarts should there be interest. I know I'll be there likely running a 125 unless there is superkart interest/attendance.

Question. Is Beaver Run still in operation? There were several karting events there a few years ago. Never hear anyone mention it anymore

I personally, as well as the CES series would absolutely love to have more Superkarts at our races.
Let me know if you think I can help in anyway. Link to our 2013 preseason discussion thread is in my signature.

Gingerman have announced in their newsletter that they will be doing a full track repave in Fall this year, but nothing more specific has been announced yet.
