steve, i've tried getting on the VKA website but can't get on. with close to $20,000 in their till you would think they would have a more modern website so we wouldn't have to have discussions here. or at least have somebody that can fix it when it goes down. but i was there when you were asked to become part of the board. and if you expect to make a change you will have to do it within the organization. you are well respected and people will listen to you. because all the talk on this forum will not make a difference. honestly i think new castle went very well. but i'm sure there are some that will disagree. no one got hurt. karts can be fixed. and it was a great time. as far as the barnesville incident if you would have seen the rotor that was being used to stop that 135 motor and to see paul martin working on the brakes at barnesville and at new castle the kart was definitely under-equipped. remember when you make them go as fast as they can you also have to be able to get them to stop. and paul has all my respect for making sure that his products are being used correctly at the track. there are a lot of good people involved in all of this. my biggest concern which i have addressed to everyone there in power was the kids being included with the adults. this i think is a disaster waiting to happen. this time no one got seriously hurt. next time they may not be so lucky. and wheelchair dave you have all my love. it was really nice to see you out there on the track. had a great time. will definitely be back next year for what i believe will be an even bigger event.
