Re: Supp 7.7-7.91

Maybe the suggestion should be something other than a trophy. Can you bring this up in the next meeting George. Thanks. As the person asking for a change, you should really provide some detail of how you think it should be. Ideally provide George with alternate wording to replace what's there. Aski...

Re: Supp 7.7-7.91

My three year old grand daughter just got a participation trophy. They're a disservice to children IMO. What's the lesson we teach them by giving them a reward for losing? Not everyone can win, a fact to which I am intimately familiar. As an adult do I want a reward for losing? Nope! So what your s...

To bring up an old argument: no, a typical competition awards 1st, 2nd & 3rd. I have never, and continue to not believe in giving everyone trophies; kids competitions? Of course - I'd like to see every jr. karter get an award this year, but the rest? I just don't get it. I got 4th overall - I d...

Re: Supp 7.7-7.91

Thanks rick&palero.

I think the rule should be modified. We should give trophies for those that have made the required amount. (10 this year)
Who's going to say no to rewarding participation at the small cost of a trophy?







What's your address to send the check to Rick?

Re: If you race you need AAA Premium Membership!

Thanks for the reminder. I need to upgrade my Plus for next year.

Also, make sure to get the AAA Roadside iPhone app. It uses the gps to let them know where you are. Supposedly you don't have to call in.

Yes the steel spiral curry combs. I'm not sure how many rings are used depending on slick type. Dot vs. race.

Looking at HS and the 2010 Supp Rules, it doesn't look like Gene or I would get a year end trophy for 3rd place. Can someone verify this? I'm a bit confused in the 7.7-7.91 section. Is 7.91 the correct rule for this?: "a trophy shall be given, for a Second Place within 5% of the winner’s total ...

Re: GRA Championship Pics and Vids (10.24.10)

Actually, I believe they can be designed quite well. Here is one from Jan. 09. As you can see, there were some technical elements that made it very interesting. Also the fact the slalom was entered on the opposite side on re-entry. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_x_Gvik2mwqI/SX4OuW_jI_I/AAAAAAAADVI/5pD8qvsQub...
