“We’re excited about our Mile High Challenge series for 2009”, said Jim Keesling, owner of The Track at Centennial. “We’re moving forward with all of our previously announced plans and selected the same exact race weekends we hosted during 2008. This advanced planning should help our customers to plan their racing schedule for the 2009 season.”
Jim,
I looked at the TaG USA rules for 2009. If I read it right, it looks like the Easykart 125 is not included. Will this be the case next year for your club series?
I haven’t made a move to choose a package for myself for next year, yet. The Easykart was one of my options. I just need to make sure before I plop down any money.Thanks
Hello,
I believe that Tag USA has the packages archived on their site.TaG USA has the regulations for heavy drivers.
We will post the “official” requirements soon, but you are safe with your assumptions.
A great holiday gift this year would probably be a transponder (you really do need one to race)
Happy Holidays!
