We have lost the site Ed, but Wyman Gordon was a place that I would think
twice about running a kart.  Light poles, bumpy surface, and the fence along
the left of the course area would make me leery.

BTW, are you going to show this weekend?

Yeah, the kart may have a shorter stopping distance than a car, but does the
person in the friction suit that's tumbling after a roll over or what ever
have a shorter stopping distance?  I have YET to run at a site where I would
even think of exluding Karts.  Maybe that this is something that should go
in
next years SSS guide book in the rule book.

 enough for a kart to hit and a kart has a shorter stopping distance than a
 car that seems like an awful big gamble! >>
