Hi All,
Speaking to you from the Thompson Speedway motorsports park.
Man all I can say is this is a first class facility, never seen better in my karting career. The staff and facilities people are going out of their way to make this a good karting experience.
We are using the large skid pad section as well as part of the main track to put together a great course to run. We will set up some more challenging turns in the skid pad area tomorrow. The turnout today could have been a lot better so load up your stuff and get down here tomorrow if at all possible. There were two enduro karts here so if you are bringing an enduro they found that they had to change up the gears from 5:1 to the mid 6:1 ratios to make the most of their piped engines. I am running 6.8:1 with my 101 Chaparral and could actually drop a couple teeth on my big sprocket so I have to blip it a couple times out on the main track but it seems to work OK so I am just gonna leave it for tomorrow.
So come and honor Chris and have a great time doing it, hoping to have a big turn out tomorrow so come on down!!
Hope to see you there,
Scott Kneisel
