Re: SCCA classes, SM2, and F125

That has been a problem for a lot of people considering buying a kart. Last
year F125 had a good turnout at Topeka . Howard had told several people in
F125 early last year that a good showing at Topeka would get F125 permanet
status. F125 exceeded that goal and then were told after Topeka they have to
bring up the regional numbers. A 1/4 of the regions don't even allow karts!
At that point I said the hell with it, I had spent the last 2 seasons ,
volunteering for more than my share of the work at events, and  having to
suck up to every jacka$$ that has his name on a committee roster to help
bolster the class. At this point  Howard ,the SEB and rest of the Denver
bunch can stick it as far as I'm concerned .I'm not spending my money where
I'm not wanted.
   A smaller problem  for f125  on the national level is the rules. The
rules are from the 1996 WKA rulebook. If you also race SKUSA or  WKA  events
under thier current rules your engine is illegal for F125. For those of us
that also compete in sanctioned kart races that is an extra engine to buy
and maintain.
