Interesting stuff, but Fridays aren't a good night for me.  Could attend infrequently though.

 I'm guessing you adjust in the order it's posted in, max speed- 1st through 6th then final. Asking because i'm not the brightest bulb around!

This week's race is at G. Valley E. and G. Valley E rev..

Will have a definite lap count for the race but safe to say 10-15 laps will be ran.

Tip stay off of the curbs.

Can anybody jump in on these Friday night kart races?

More is better. I would say make sure you have BakedTuna on your Friends List as I think he will be hosting.

And I think he already is Dude.

I'm pretty sure I remember chasing Dude Tuna's blue line on my license tests.

curious about whether points will carry over from month to month.   

not sure it matters to most participants, but I was just curious.

[BakedTuna]

Points will not carry over in a sense that there will be a cumilative score at the end. The points system will even be varied as one goes through their career and ventures into different series.

At the end I do envision possibly a lifetime achievement award of sorts being given out.

thanks

I am kinda using this thread to speak on the overall series of series so here it goes.

So we are now three months in with this Career in a Year experiment and overall I am quite pleased. Good attendance so far and three different Champions with good racing to be had every week. Thank you to anyone who has attended so far
If you have not made it out yet consider this your invite to check things out one Friday night. And yes it is a points series but it is a really low pressure type deal. No commitments needed, your points are tallied if you show up for all the races or just one. If you understand the basics of track etiquette you will be fine.
The race nights have went smoothly with room opening at 9 eastern and first Q at 9:30. We get through qualifying and two races with and intermission before 11. Our efficiency has felt good to me we get in get the event done but without feeling rushed. Further adding to the efficiency feel is the new way of keeping tabs of points this is definitely easier for the staff here at CiaY allowing us to update the points faster and getting them posted faster as well. We hope that it is as well received on the other side as well.  

If anyone out there has questions or suggestions let me know.

Also thought I would share this list I am working off of as a tentative schedule. This way if anyone would like to plan their purchasing better hopefully this will help.

This is not set in stone if PD ever adds something to the game it could shake up the schedule. But this way y'all know what is planned and if there are adjustments that you guys would like to see throw them out there for discussion.
 
Also Also Wiz has a good idea and I am considering no ABS for some of the future months as the rest of the year is in purpose built race equipment that would likely not have ABS in real life. Certainly this will elicit some responses.

[BakedTuna]

The proposed car for August is the BMW Vision car, for Sept Red Bull Standard, and in Oct. two classes with 6 total cars to choose in the GT class it will be a Vette, a Viper and a M3 oh my, while the LMP class will have a BMW an Audi and a Pescarolo. Details forthcoming. Wanted anyone who needed to budget to have plenty of time to do so.
