Just something to think about. I'm sure many of you will say "I'm full of beans", or worse. With the high cost of putting on these wonderful events, it would seem(to me) that kart clubs and associations should start working together to grow and make enduro racing stronger. I was talking to an old enduro driver just yesterday. He told me of a time when there was an enduro series called the Mid-States Series which is today's Michigan Kart Club and DART Kart Club. I guess the series was doing very well and running ALL the major road circuits in the mid-west. Unfortunately, some disagreements and in club fighting tore the the club apart. Now you hear cocern for costs from BOTH clubs.
I know in the mid-west you have, DART, Michigan, CES, River Valley, Badger, MARRS. ALL of these clubs have put on wonderful events over the years. I think it is time to have these clubs work TOGETHER in scheduling and paying for these events. I know I have heard MANY stories of how one club screwed another when working together on an event. It is time to leave the egos, bias and "what's in it for me" attitudes at the door and truly come together and grow the sport we ALL obviously love.
These are ALL good clubs with good people. I miss Road America, Road Atlanta, Putnam Park. As my good friend Dennis Smith would say......"JMO"..........Thanks for listening...........
