WISCONSIN ICE KART SERIES
BETWEEN 40+ DEGREE WEATHER IN FEBRUARY, A COUPLE DRIVERS
WITH BROKEN LIMBS (NON RACE RELATED) AND A GENERAL
LACK OF PARTICIPATION, THE REMAINDER OF THE
2011-2012 SEASON HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
2-3-2012
WE STARTED OUT WITH GREAT INTENTIONS AND HIGH HOPES. THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED. OR SHOULD I SAY
DIDN'T HAPPEN. IT NEVER GOT COLD. TO SOME EXTENT, IT STILL HASN'T. WE FINALLY GOT ENOUGH ICE TO RACE,
BUT THERE WAS TOO MUCH SLUSH TO PLOW WITH A QUAD, YET NOT ENOUGH ICE TO GET A TRUCK OUT THERE.
WAIT TWO MORE WEEKS. EVERYTHING IS FROZEN NOW, BUT BECAUSE OF THE SLUSH, THE ICE IS WAY TOO
ROUGH TO RACE ON. WE WORKED IT AS BEST WE COULD WITH WHAT WE HAD. THE TRACK GETS FLODDED,
SEE YA NEXT WEEK?!? FINALLY WE HAVE THE PERFECT WEATHER, AND A PERFECT TRACK. ONLY THING IS, WE ARE
MISSING MOST OF THE RACERS. SO WE DID SOME PRACTICE / PLAY LAPS, FOLLOWED BY A DISCUSSIONAL
MEETING ABOUT WHAT TO DO. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO RUN THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON.
THAT WAS LAST SUNDAY. ON MONDAY THE TEMP HIT LOW 40'S AND HAS BEEN THAT HIGH EVERY DAY THIS WEEK.
ONE OF THE DADS CALLED TONIGHT, BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER, OTHER PLANS WERE MADE.
AND HIS DRIVER HAS PLANS NEXT WEEK. WITH EMMA'S BROKEN ARM, THAT LEAVES ONE DRIVER IN THE KIDS CLASS.
WE HAVE NOBODY IN THE OPEN CLASS AND ONE POSSABLY TWO IN THE WINGLESS. AFTER A PHONE CALL
TO JIMMY, ANOTHER DECISION WAS MADE. WE HAVE CANCELLED WHAT'S LEFT OF THE SEASON.
NOW, IF YOU KNOW ME AT ALL, YOU KNOW THIS WAS NOT EASY.
THAT BEING SAID, I AM NOT YET READY TO CALL IT QUITS FOR GOOD. WE WILL ATTEMPT TO REVIVE THIS
WHOLE DEAL NEXT YEAR, WITH SOME CHANGES: ONE CLASS. THAT'S RIGHT ONE. FLAT KART. BLUE CLONE MOTOR.
STOCK. NO GOVONER. NO WIEGHT LIMITS. NO AGE LIMITS. BASICALLY WHAT IS NOW KNOWN AS THE 'KIDS' CLASS.
I CAN'T MAKE IT ANY MORE SIMPLE OR AFFORDABLE. AS FOR THE FUN - THAT'S BUILT IN.
MOTHER NATURE HAS WON A FEW RACES IN MY TIME, BUT NEVER HAS SHE TAKEN THE WHOLE SEASON.
I GUESS SHE IS THE SEASON CHAMP?
WHAT A WINTER.....
