[George Argiris]

Did someone say BLACKHAWK – ROUND  TWO

Go to the forum for RVKC BHF

[George Argiris]

The issues are not that we don’t have the tracks and the clubs – we just need people to show up and especially stay on Sunday…..

Guys – each club or area has enough out there, we just need to make sure we all show-up..

Glen – DART has two races in this region each year – Grattan and Mid Ohio – Grattan in May and Mid Ohio in June – Those who say they are drivers need to prove it and show up to Grattan – this is the most true drivers road course in the area.   They re-paved the entire track a few years ago and I was told they were going to get new bathroom and showers in 2014 –  Mid Ohio is awesome – there are always a great turnout, DART does a great job, there are motorcycle races on Sat night to watch and camping is available  – they pulled from Putnum cause nobody showed up and the costs were high –   CES has tried about everything possible – the unfortunate timing on Gateway and the lack of people staying on Sunday hurt –  CES offers races at tracks that both DART and KART/MARRS can join – CES offer a race at Grattan and Gingerman  – both tracks make it easy to both DART members and Michigan Kart Club members – Gingerman is an awesome track – why take away a track – Autobauhn is a good idea but it is not any closer to Blackhawk or Gingerman for the MARRS guys…and the costs are more.  The only fair share for MARRS and CES was Gateway but the timing in my opinion was not planned well….  But yet again where were the MARRS guys on Sat and why did everyone leave on Sunday..   I’m not trying to bash anyone but it is all up to us to show up and support – the CES gang has always been willing to travel – thou those park district tracks in Kansas – in my opinion do not look safe enough for the racing I’ve done for the past years…   it is awesome though that it is a good boost to there club and they get the support.  Although the Topeka event is appealing – however in my case and many others, we cant race there as you don’t allow Rotax – you are missing many including a large shifter group..  Hey Hoff you talk about CES but you have not shown up for the past 3 years or more – why – sorry I had to throw a gab……

Its all about making sure we can road race so put all the BS asside –

BLACKHAWK – BLACKHAWK – that’s all I can say – your an @$%# if you don’t show up…. CES offers 2 chances to race there in a year – Schedules are out so start planning and gathering others to join.

So the long and short is SHOW UP AND STAY THE WEEKEND AND GO VISIT NEW TRACKS – THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WILLING TO SHARE RIDES – SUPPORT ALL THE RACES THAT ARE OFFERED – SUPPORT ALL CLUBS

[George Argiris]

Glen – thanks for making the trip – it was nice to see the support – like I have said before

“One of the best tracks in the mid-west. Some of the best racers. Guaranteed to have fun. Always someone to race with. Great people”

Look forward in seeing you at Gingerman –

Last weekend had a ton of karts – we had over 25 in both TAG classes – shifters were way up over 30 maybe even over 40

Guys – Bring it back to Gingerman

Glen – send me a PM with your email so I can send you a link to a video of our races…  Did you have your camera on..

[George Argiris]

Joe

I sent you a pm with some information

remember that RVKC is having a BBQ Saturday night after the team race.  Everyone is invited

look forward to another great race weekend at Blackhawk.

[George Argiris]

As a reminder – RVKC will have a free BBQ on Saturday night for all racers…

You will also have one last chance to win the Edsal pit karts and the Mills Pallet race weekend giveaway.

See you all at Blackhawk – Dont miss out on the best road race series in the midwest

IMO
It’s simply a numbers game – we are all fighting for the same racers – clubs are key to the success – they all need to collaborate – there is no room for selfish objectives – These tracks are not cheap – on average you will see about the same number of entry’s at each event – the numbers however are going down on Sunday’s, not sure why

So it is strictly the cost to rent the track divided by the average number of racers – if that calculates to $120 each, so be it – would you rather not have a road race event near you – or would you than not road race at all or spend hundreds of dollars traveling to race.  We all have to work together
