SKUSA Red River Region Race Report

Rounds 1 & 2 Feb 28-29

Hitchcock Texas

Kicking off the first SKUSA race of the year is the Red River series that includes the Oklahoma -Texas area.  This year a Pro-Moto style double-day race format was chosen to give competitors 12 races total over 6 weekends of travel.  Adding to the travel savings is a decision to run the two-day event on a single set of tires.  There was a little concern with that decision for G1 and S1 classes running on Bridgestone YHB spec tires.  The course abrasive pavement in Houston was certain to be an acid test for these two classes and the YHB's did indeed hold up just fine.

Every organization has a goal of developing their series.  The Red River Regional Director recognizes some of the obstacles to growing the regional series come from the exclusion of some of the popular entry level Cadet classes.  For 2004 Jr 1 and Kid Karts have been added to the roster.  Those in 80Jr or 60 Novice with younger brothers/sisters in these classes can now come to the Red River Region to let everyone race.

Normally Timing & Scoring is handled by Tom Thelan who also handles SKUSA Nationals.  Tom who lives close by in Houston was called to a family emergency in Germany and was not available.  On Saturday (Round 1) gremlins plagued the AMB system requiring manual scoring for that day.  By Sunday a replacement AMB Encoder Module was located and the format went back to normal AMB Scoring.

Weather was chilly in Hitchcock in the 50's on Saturday, in the 60's Sunday.  Sunday had a few brief showers just enough to make the track slick at times, not enough for rain tires.

Update Notes;

Our apologies that the results were posted before getting having DQ data clarified.  Some confusion came from notes taken on Kid Kart class DQ's where there were two karts with the same numbers were involved, and were missing a 1 position penalty assessed in the 80Jr class.

Also new was the Rotax MiniMax class.  Although this was supposed to be a one time special offering, the competitors all requested that the class be added to the rest of the series, so it will now become a regular class as well.
