Default Something to think about for the next track event....

Talked with Nick at Speedquest Karting today...said it would be a strong possibility to have him bring 2-3 karts up to g'ville for the next track day... One problem for January though...he's qualified to represent the US in the World ROTAX Finals... Even if the January date won't work...he said he'd do some other future events with you guys.

Default For now we'll stick with cars, and look at carts later.

The point of these schools is to educate the driver in their own car and to learn it's ability,.

If we introduce karts, then it just becomes a racing type of school, and that brings up some insurance questions. But I think it would be great to have maybe an all karting school in the future....

Default And something else to think about for the next track event....

Another idea.. how about opening up the back straight in place of the right-left-left-right by start-finish. Hard on tires and not particularly challenging. Just an idea... maybe to try for a run group next time.

Default I think people would be carrying a lot of speed into that quick S turn, and it could pose trouble.

The track is so tight, it doesn't leave much room for error.

Correct. Layout has to be approved by GIR.

Default I couldnt care less about straights....I want more S-turns.

As far as I'm concernced we can make it so tight that you drive the whole thing in second.
