[quote quote=5295]Starting at the back of a big class like that, especially a sit-up CIK bodywork class, the draft is incredible! Being in the back is not a big deal. If you are able to run with the front runners, you can get there in a couple of laps.

Just remember though- I will be watching ;-) and I don’t put up with any sort of bump drafting, no nerfing, etc. so far, this is NOT the biggest field I have had to watch over (yet-but will be)-so you will not escape the watchful eyes of corner workers.

I’m pretending it’s carved in stone :-) already have the approved vacation time set up too!

Cody-I am confident you will have a place to run, just not sure where yet.

Ray is correct-it is a once in a lifetime-one time race. It does not effect anyone running a series or club for points.

 

And what I used to see with the 250’s for their big Laguna races was that it it UPPED participation at big Willow events the year prior for karts and drivers to get tuning in. I can definitely see this happening for the COTA event upping particitpation at other events leading up to next July. Especially for those who have had laydowns up against a wall somewhere or for those who might have thought they were done and now have to get back in (no Ray-I’m still done, besides I’ll be working :-) ) and for the general sprinter who would like to get a little long track drafting practice in before the event. These people have to go somewhere!

We have always had a differnt mind set in the West, espeically since mid 90’s when things started swinging more to sit ups due to all the sprint tracks within a 1/2 hour of everyone’s home that popped up everywhere. Laydown die hards -just showed up and raced, sometimes even by themselves against themselves. Heaven knows I did that a few times. My last race I was only piston port laydown, but I went out to race against my previous time-beat it and ended up 2nd overall (behind hubby John running a controller) and I STILL grin about it!

I don’t get to race a COTA as someone has to keep all the dedicated racers safe :-) but you can bet your guns I will beg, borrow or steal a kart (preferably a laydown) and do at least one lap! Then I get to say I have been on this track. If you stay home-you will not get to say that ;-)

Well if you and the others you talked to-come-the field just grows ;-)

And now Beck, you need to be patient for answers to your questions until Bernie has finalized some things. Right now is getting the word out time and for all to start making plans.

Not sure if I’m doing this right, but over on eknclassic is the original thread with info that we have for now.

I like hearing about laydowns coming! :-)

Very best birthday wishes to you Jack!

Need to stick the poster on 250’s Tag, Shifter, General and Events!
