A TIP OF SMOKEY'S HAT TO THE TRACK CREW. THEY ENDURED NASTY COLD WEATHER WITH BITING WINDS. THANKS.
THE "NEW" SCORING SYSTEM IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED. IF A KARTER PLACES FIRST IN THE FIRST TWO HEATS, IT RENDERS THE THIRD HEAT MEANINGLESS. TWO FIRSTS AND A DNF BEAT TWO SECONDS AND A FIRST. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN SPRINT RACING IS TO FINISH ALL THREE HEATS. THE CURRENT SCHEME SAYS WIN TWO RACES AND FORGET ABOUT THE LAST ONE - REALLY STRANGE AND GOOFY.
VENDORS WERE REALLY SCARCE AT THIS YEAR'S RACES. THIS WAS A BIG CHANGE FROM THE PAST (EVEN THOUGH MY WALLET WAS HAPPIER)
THE HISTORIC CLASS HAD A SQUARE TUBE SAE AND AN EARLY RUPP KART. SOLT STARTED BUILDING SQUARE TUBE KARTS DURING THE PERIOD DEFINED AS HISTORIC. THERE IS NO PRACTICAL WAY TO FIGURE OUT WHEN ANY SQUARE TUBE SAE WAS BUILT. DOES THIS LEAVE OPEN THE POSSIBILITY OF RUNNING A MODIFIED SAE WITH A FRONT PORCH LIKE MINE (FOR MY BAD KNEES) WITH A PERIOD CORRECT ENGINE IN HISTORIC?
