Race July 31st

Tony Rogers · 07-26-2010, 08:07 AM

Who's racing this week? I'm in Masters. Also, we need an thread for volunteers and a race director.

Garey Guzman · 07-26-2010, 01:06 PM

If I can remember how to put Calvin's kid kart back together, we should be there! Wish I could help in other ways but I'll also have my 2 year old in tow....

Any other kid karts?

Scott Schubert · 07-26-2010, 03:06 PM

I'm running in Masters, and Sean in Junior.

Richard Thoms · 07-27-2010, 05:49 PM

I'll be there in Masters.

James Cathers · 07-27-2010, 06:28 PM

I'll be there in shifters (provided my engine gets back in time).

Terry Nyman · 07-28-2010, 06:22 AM

Finally a chance to race with all the cool drivers in the Master class.

Chad Lee · 07-28-2010, 06:31 AM

I am still looking for answers but I should be there in shifter...looks like Jeff Carter(newbie) will be there in masters. He spent a lot of time Saturday and has gotten a ton better. Going to be HOOOOOT! SO bring plenty of water, beer or water ever spins ya!

Tony Rogers · 07-28-2010, 07:00 AM

Anyone have an opinion on the number of heats we should run with respect to the heat index we will be facing Saturday?

James Cathers · 07-28-2010, 12:14 PM

1 heat, 1 feature. I've gotten in better shape since last year, I dont get worn out as bad as I used to, but 2 heats seems like a bit much for club racing in 100 degree heat.

I'm fine with that if I can only request a little more practice time for the ones that may want it, I can certainly use it.

I will be racing in Masters.

Richard Thoms · 07-28-2010, 05:10 PM

Let's see what the weather really does. Right now the forecast is for a "cool" 94!

But also 40% chance of T-storms so who knows what's going to happen. In June we were running late so 1 heat / 1 race was fine.

What do we usually do? 12/12/15 laps I think. Maybe 10/10/15 would help. Personally the more racing the better for me but after 5-7 laps it seems like we are a little strung out and the racing is about done.

Plus I've got family coming in to watch so I want to put on a good show!

Of course I'm writing this from an over-air conditioned office.

In any case I think we can make the call at Lunch on raceday.

Larry Burke · 07-28-2010, 09:04 PM

I plan to be there racing in Master's. Considering the high heat in the afternoon I'd be open to running one heat and a final. Possibly a little more practice in the morning would help to offset.

We are headed to vacation so we will miss. See y'all in August

Alex Vanderwerff · 07-30-2010, 09:32 AM

Gerrit will be racing in Juniors.

Ken Sullivan · 07-30-2010, 09:53 AM

I'll be there in Senior. How about we take the heat index, subtract 100, take the absolute value, and run that many heats?

Tony Rogers · 07-30-2010, 10:55 AM

So, the hotter it gets the more heats Ken wants to run...........LOL! I just say we make it a subject for discussion at the drivers meeting like somebody said earlier. I wasn't aiming to start a controversy, just a thought for consideration, you know.

At least I didn't bring up the idea of running TAG or the issue with rear bumpers!

Glenn Tillery · 07-30-2010, 11:58 AM

Tillery boys will be there.

Richard Thoms · 07-30-2010, 12:42 PM

Hey I just thought of a good way to handle this. If you only want to run 1 heat and 1 race then just sit out the first heat!

- just kidding. Looking forward to getting on track tomorrow.

Jason Bane · 07-30-2010, 01:26 PM

I say let's go for a psychological edge and change the name from "heat" races to "cold" races. I think 2 heats and a main sounds daunting, but 2 colds and a final, that's doable.........

Chris Putman · 07-30-2010, 07:09 PM

I agree with Richard. Let's run 10/10/15. Our fees are for three races so let's race. We did it last weekend on a hot day.
