A very Fast Old Man is right .
If you come across the scales at 350# you would be in a different zip code .
I vote for you adding another 20# to ya. Or ....maybe a anchor .Or ....how about a bulldozer .
Man your fast !!!

Just so you know I was joking in the post above... they all call me the FAT old man.. I keep trying to get back in a good eating and exercise routine, but dammit I just enjoy food too much!
I do appreciate the compliment, however. I've managed to whittle down my clone where I'm only 15 pounds over, my animal is about 15 pounds heavier.

Brantley...even gas at $4 a gallon I think mine only used about 20c for the whole day .
I would let you drive mine for the 20c worth of gas but you would look silly trying to put your 225 lbs. body in my 160 lbs.seat.   ......
Sorry!!! I could not resist .
I know someone would let you take their's for a spin after the races are over.
John ...I second your idea's !!! |
yea i jsut thought it would be nice to have a day that fans and future drivers could come out and try out the sport. who knows maybe u can turn this into a annual thing. i just know that the second i get into a kart, i will be like 3 giant steps closer to buying. o and nice emote. it really is like that. thats should be mine and kevin's emote for everything. . |

the3 bigger single class we have the more fun and more people will want to join the fun.
I dont care what the weight is as long as everyone can run under one class if possible.

| You don't have to run with the lower weight guys as far as scoring. Each weight class is scored seperate from the other even though you are racing combined. If I could add enough weight for heavy I could sign up for heavy and run against Jeff just so he would have some competition. The reason we are combined is to stream line the event. If we ever have enough karts we would have to separate by weight. With that said last race #9 was the largest so far with 9 medium and 1 heavy. I'm sure it will get bigger and better as time goes by. |

We had 10 Clone entries last race. How about shooting for 12. If we can get everyone racing last race and get Clay and Darrin racing on the 22nd, this should get us to 12, assuming I race Greg's kart. I know there are others out there so hopefully we can get everyone to come out.

I know Larry Rahl is getting a clone ready. If he would be ready by next race that could be 13 entries. I had a guy that used to race back in the 90's come up to me Saturday and talk old times. He has purschased a kart for his son to race. I talked with him about joining us in the clone class. I try to promote the clone class anytime I can.
