Bruce,

I vote it to be a Piston Port laydown class rather it be medium or heavy.

Lindsay is coming and who wouldn’t want to run against her????? FAST, PRETTY!!!

 

THE MAN

[John Crider]

Last Year We had a large group of Yamaha Sportsman Medium. However I’M game. I can put a pipe on My Yamaha and race against anything. In a large group there will be someone to draft with and that’s what makes Daytona fun. Anyone inbetween Kansas and FLA and need transportation PLMK. LETS GO TO DAYTONA!!!!!!!

[Glen Cherry]

I’m not sure the plan for a large class but I can tell you that as of now the West Texas Outlaws Group will be putting 7 or 8 Laydown Yamaha karts on the grid in the medium and heavy classes. last year we ran the pipe class the can when the classes didn’t interfere with the other classes ran. I know almost all of us ran Yamaha hvy and Can med, I skipped out to do the dirt race but this year it will be road race time only. I know a few are running Tag situp karts and B stock so hopefully they will fall outside of the Yamaha classes and the rest of the country can match Texas entries on the grid!!!

[Craig Dori]

Come on folks, Bruce stepped out here to try and make something special. Let’s see some more support!!!

We will enter any Yamaha class that is decided on by the group.

Just a thought here, nothing more, as I’m sure it will get shot out of the sky for something? But perhaps whichever class is decided upon, for those that might be interested, hand Bruce an extra $50-$75(?) and make it a $ race for those that want? In other words, for those that just want to race for the trophy, that’s cool too. But if you want to take your chances at a little $, pay in. Pay as far down the field as possible, not all at the top.

Again, just a thought to try and generate some interest, or get others to come up with other ideas. Would love to participate in a MASSIVE field!!

[Bruce Peck]

Well, so far the response has been underwhelming.  Thanks John, Glen, and Craig.  I’ve had one other individual contact me directly by email (thanks!) and indicated he would prefer Sportsman over pipe.  Does anyone read this part of the forum any more?    At this point I plan to run my normal 100cc Pipe Heavy (Piston Port) class, but will still mount up a Yamaha if interest seems to pick up.  People have to speak up for this to work.

Hatcher Enduro will be at Daytona again this year. And as always we will be running most of the laydown classes available to run with a Yamaha. We are planning on bringing 4 karts.

[Linda Baldus]

The plan is for Bernie and Pierce to be there. Both will probably be running the reed jets.

[Kelly Read]

Bruce,

I don’t know what has happened with people not on here like it used to be. I do know a few that said they couldn’t get on EKN for some reason. I explained to them not put spaces between there username and passwords and they should be able to get on.

Since very few are here to speak for whatever reason and I am sure they will be at Daytona, looks like a Yamaha class is what I see is the best bet.  That’s fine with us as we are just coming to give Lindsay the DAYTONA experience. We have no Yamahas so that class is out for us. But I did just think of something (no comments), we might have someone we could borrow there kart and Yamahas for Daytona. Once we find out after seeing the updated rule book which I am waiting to get with her membership and what the schedule will be at Daytona, then we will decide what to run. As of now, depending on how many piston port classes are available that are where we don’t have to add a TON of lead to her kart (running K71 and possibly the Comer P51 if weight not to high) is her main class, Tag classes possibly and Control spec could possibly be a option IF, brother would loan her his stuff??????? Hell, I might be bringing the big trailer the way things are going!!!!!!LOL

 

[Bruce Peck]

Kelly:  If Lindsay runs the PP Heavy class I can at least be a back-marker for her.  At my weight right now I would need two P-51’s to keep up.  :-)

[Kelly Read]

Bruce,

That will be Lindsay racing not THE MAN so you have a chance!!!! LOL

Questions,

1) What is available in piston port classes for a K71 and Comer P51 to run in??

2) Per class, what is the weight for each motor above??

[Glen Cherry]

Kelly I have plenty of Yamahas! how many do you want me to bring you?

[Bruce Peck]

Kelly:  for laydowns there are just two classes – Med and Heavy – One runs on Sat, the other on Sun.  Below is from the WKA site.  The P-51 has to run 15 pounds heavier than the K-71.

[Jeff Estes]

I still remember my first Grand Nationals (IKF) at Ontario Motor Speedway CA in 1974.

There were over 100 karts in the race. (100cc Reed Open)

I’ll be running my 125 Shifter at Daytona. Don’t have enough time to get my laydown back in any kind of shape to run this year. It’s not from 1974 :) But will watch how this goes. Will definitely support next year.

[Bruce Peck]

Jeff, thanks for the input.  I’m not optimistic about this year, but if folks like yourself make your interests known then maybe we can make it happen next year.  So far there have been precious few that have spoken up and most of them are the folks that would be there anyway making up a “normal” grid for Daytona.

[Kelly Read]

Bruce,

Thanks. I got our 2014 rule book this past Friday.   With her LIGHT A$$, we will be running a K71 (THANX to RRR) in both the piston port classes. At least to start out with but we are bringing WKA legal Comer P-51’s just in case she wants to run it.  She will also be running the Sprint stock leopard classes also (guess she want’s to wear THE MAN out!!!!!! LOL

Glen,

No Yamaha’s here!!! We tend to blow them up EVERY TIME!!!!!!

David,

I can’t seem to find those times on WKA’s web site, am I blind????  LOL

 

[Brandon Schenkel]

I’ll be there running B stock/unlimited and sportsman med, possibly pipe

[Linda Baldus]

17×68 is a good starting place for the Yammies.
