Formula Junior at Sept 26, 2010 Championship

[Steve Ekstrand]

Formula Junior is listed as running first in the morning in the run order. This is incorrect as we ran first at the August event.

I plan on running the juniors at the conclusion of Lunch/beginning of 4th heat.

If there are any objections please make them now!

You should know there is also a proposal to be made at the October meeting to return FJ to running after lunch every event and excluding the juniors from team pax points and the overall individual title (based on pax). I see no reason why FJA and FJB can't still be eligible for the picked team challenge. And of course individual class points. My suggestion, was that we return to the way we did things for years until such time as an FJA competitor wished to run for team pax or overall points, then we'd address that issue then, with my suggestion that we move back to rotating if clubs truly are worried about an advantage due to running only after lunch. The pax is so difficult now in the FJ's that I don't see points as an issue. But you never know. I'd like to treat the lack of points running as the rule, and deal with exceptions as needed. I would support any junior that thinks he can compete for points, but I want that junior and his parents to make the request for the change. Otherwise most juniors and their parents are better served by the traditional after lunch run time.

If any junior or parent would like to discuss this, oppose it, support it, get more info, or talk about karts please feel free to contact me! Either here or through the board or directly to cyberlaw at earthlink dot net.
