Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

We used to do this very thing right before the meeting at Karls every January. Im cool with it as well. Its a great time. Would it be possible to just do the meeting first then go race? That gives us the entire afternoon towards being on the track if we choose.

I would also like to recall some experience I learned from racing leagues when they first opened in the 90's before the NCC started though. I actually raced with another good friend of mine but on separate nights, he was in a more hard core experienced league as well and was a lot more serious about it, I was only into it for the fun and to learn some skills. I think it would be cool to divide the club up into 2 groups depending on the persons size. My buddy in the hardcore group was with a bunch of guys that were all about the same skill set, but he was 6'4 and there were guys half his size. With everyone in that league all some of the best at the Burnsville track at that time, the smallest, lightest guys were getting the best times just because they were lighter in the kart. So I think it would be more fun if members were divided into a lightweight class and a heavyweight class, or something more politically correct we can call it. Keeps the racing more even. There is nothing more frustrating then having to be flagged to "move over for faster traffic" when you are on a strong lap all to be ruined by another guy that's quicker then you simply because he weighs less in the kart.

Oh cool. They never did that back in the day. It sounds like hassle to me then. I dont know if we really need to care that much since we are there just to have fun.
