Memberships are flowing in nicely. Thanks for all the support!
What's great is not only do we have some new names signing up but also some that have been away for a couple of years. Exciting times!

Look for a announcement over the next couple of weeks including the 2012 point standings and the 2013 class structure.

OK 2012 points are being given a final checkover by Dave larson and co and will be published in the next couple of days.

In the meantime, I'd like to put a sheet together with a list of classes/karts and suggested starting gear ratios for the different tracks. Something to help newcomers a little.
Post up with any info you have (Class, motor, gearing, track) and I'll distill it down onto the sheet I'm working on. Naturally I'd like to have most/all classes (or whatever is similar) covered in the sheet.

Are we going to get confirmation on kart numbers that we listed on the membership application?

I wasn't a member before so I don't know if my preferred number was already used or not. I'd like to know so I have the right numbers on for Gateway.

Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe it changed but I though the CES position on rain was, you could race for the trophies if it rains, but everyone entered got rain points the same.

BTW, Jim thanks for the Swap meet plug, anyone coming, stop by and say hi

Subject change!

Was just thinking this the other day. What do most sprint racers think of when they hear enduro racing? I think most people think big tracks like Road America or Mid Ohio. I think CES is a bit of a hybrid. Blackhawk, Grattan, Gingerman are like big sprint tracks. They are a little pit of both. I sometimes think that the work enduro turns people off. Or the term road racing is lazy and tracks two long for karts. I honestly think thats the case with some tracks but not the tracks on the CES schedule.

I think it needs to marketed and talked about different then it is.

Thoughts.

I agree Keith but tell that to Sprint racers!

Grattan is one of the most fun tracks period! Besides the front straight, it feels like a BIG sprint track. I think if some of the top sprint racers raced this track. It would help spread the word better on the fun they are missing out on!

Now its just more or less the road guys talking to themselves.
