With the class growing and several new racers, I wanted to see if most you would have interest in a test and tune day. It would cover things like:
- Carb Maintenance
- Clutch Maintenance and setting
- Chassis Tuning and seat position. - I think this is the most important as I see many with a bad set position.
- Driving tips _________________ John

Funny Jim! I think you should join in and help give guidance especially with all your racing and engine building experience. I doubt I can provide you anything you don't already know. It is good and fun to bounce ideas off each other. _________________ John

Does this include topics like "not dive-bombing the crap out of other drivers" and "general respect for fellow competitors"? That might help extend the life of my left sidepod...
Anyway, jokes aside, I'd show, if my schedule is open. |

I think that is not a total joke but a actual happening (I have a couple of videos showing just that).
I think when a kart is spun by another driver we should go to yellow and black flag or send the offender to the rear (depending on how bad was the action) and go back to the previous lap standings for all the others.
This will not take any time to do if every one knows the policy |
