Jerry,
We all will be glad to see you but, more happy to see POPS!!
Mike,
My decision came down to has won more TRIADS!! This person didn't get the #1 motor this time!! Some win , some lose
FYI,
If anyone is needing a room at the Super 8 which is 5 minutes from the track, I cancelled 2 dbls. last night.
As a reminder, before you pull down into the LOWER pit level, be sure to get with me to see if any spots are OPEN. I do have a few spots open but, I want to be sure where we have our SPONSORS pitting, we do not take there spots. |

Facts:
• KART does not typically offer TaG Sr. or multi engine TaG Class at regular KART/MARRS series events.
• KART offers TaG Sr. class at their National event using TAG USA weights for TaG Sr. and allows the older engines that are not currently homologated by TaG USA at the weights they ran when they were Homologated......as a courtesy to those that have those engines that may be travelling from areas where the class might be more popular.
• I've been around long enough to remember that when TaG Sr. was actually popular in KART's region there was a gentleman regularly racing with a Sonik. He was reasonably competitive at the listed weights.
KART offers TaG Sr. class as a courtesy to KART regulars in TaG classes to have an additional race as well as for those that might run an engine other than the popular Leopard so that they can participate in the event. There is no Cadillac or paycheck offered at the finish line for the winner of any class. |

Thanks

Hi Ron,
You have the right rule book but you need to scroll down a little further to the section that says "Road Racing Weights".....only use Sr. weights, not Masters. All other engines are the same as sprint racing weights.
H Motori Seven --------- --------- 415 lbs.
L Sonik TX125 --------- --------- 415 lbs.
FYI, KART only uses Engine Tech rules and Weight rules from TaG USA. KART allows open tires and a few other minor differences in TaG Sr. only....Leopard only classes do not use TaG USA weights. |

See you there |
Hi Mark,
As of right now, you will be able to get into the paddock/pit area up until 10pm. There is a guard at the tunnel/gate all night. If the guard will sell pit passes for KART then you will be able to purchase and sign standard waiver for the passes and gain access all night. However, if they do not agree to this then you must wait until morning for registration to open to purchase pit passes. I will arrive around 7pm this evening and if we are able to sell passes all night, I will post here via smart phone.
Here is a map of the facility and where you will need to go to gain access to the track.
See ya there!!!

| I understand that pit passes will be sold by the guard so those that arrive after 10pm can gain access to the pit/paddock area when they arrive. Those folks will need to head over to registration in the morning when it opens. |
