Dont think I will make Friday practice. But will race Sat and Sun.
Ryan you sign up yet? You racing Senior Tag or Masters. No heavy this year, Masters class. I think your good with driver over 200#'s. Im racing Senior, not going to put 60#'s of lead on for Masters. 30#'s is enough.
Are you racing Adam Schatz Benefit race this year?
I have not signed up yet.

I am planning on practicing Friday. Not sure about racing on Sunday. I may race the HPV as well as Tag Masters on Sat. Not sure about the benefit race. Arno, The benefit race will be the last race on Sat. I have not sighned up yet. Pre entries have to be recieved by Fri. Otherwise its $10 more to sign up on race day.
Who else is going?

I am thinking of skipping the Rt 66 Race that weekend and coming up there. What is the weight for Tag Masters with Rotax (if I can get it repaired)

Arno, the race for Adam is on saturday like Ryan said. Its a team race with a pit stop to change drivers in the 10th to 20th minute. That was the open window for changing drivers last year. I think you can race it alone. Its more fun to race as a team I thought. Kind of different and fun at the same time!
Arno, you working that weekend? Im sure we could get your kart out there. If you get it out there and want to race I could put your kart in my trailer over night. So it isn't out in the open all night.
Ryan, work is starting to get nuts for me. Not sure if I can take Friday off. What I would do is still come on Friday evening to get loaded. :bugeye::thumbsup:
Wont know until the Wed or Thurs before for Friday. I have said for sure no work on Sat or Sun.
Jeff, lots of racing that weekend. You have the Route 66 race and Badger has a double race weekend, Sat and Sun race. I could race at Badger for $40 for both Sat and Sun!!! Oh well!

I am working that weekend, but I could get off of work at around 3pm possibly. So I can enter only the Adam race and not have to pay for the other races? In that case I am very interested.
I see it is the last race in the day... do you have any idea what time that would be?

Yup :thumbsdown:
I wouldn't mind coming to watch - are there spectator passes or do you have to be 'crew?'
That would be 3 consecutive weekends at BFR for me, and make for 5 consecutive weekends at one track or another....I love the summer!

Dan, You could buy a spectator pass at the gate. If you come on Sat. there is a little party after the race. Info below

Jeff, Whats the deal with scoring. The results posted at the track had us 5th and 7th. Mylaps is scoring us different. Any Ideas?

I think it included all the karts.I do believe one of the karts in front of us was an 80 cc SHifter. I know i got 5th and have the hardware to prove it

Now that I look, Zachary Silver is in the 80 cc Class. That would be why

MyLaps uses the 'overall' results as default many times. This messes with the display when there are several classes on the track together. I know there is a button to display by class, but can't remember where on the page. Shouldn't be to hard to find once you know to look for it...
I've done the same thing.
