One of the hot topics I hear about at LAKC races is the new Micro Max program.

Once again, I will have my FTK/birel Micro Max available at Fontana on Saturday for test drives.

I would love to get this program jump started. I have a few ideas.

If you are interested, please stop by the FTK pit this weekend.

Thanks,

Andy

So, what's the status with MicroMax for next year??

Will there be a class?

What's the alternative for those of us who have micromax karts?

My daugher is 8, so she is too old for kidkart, but too young for minimax.

She loves her micromax kart, and the push button start is awesome for both of us.

Dom

Dom sorry this class will not be offered. You my want to speek with Andy at FTK to see what he will be offering with his program.

Can an 8 year old run Minimax?

Dom

I do not know but I will try and find out.

Dom,

The age range for Micro Max is 7-10 years. As Chris posted earlier, LAKC is not planning to offer the class next year.

Greg Jackson

Dom

The minimum age for MiniMax is 9 years.

So, is there basically no option to run at LAKC with an 8 year old kid and rotax?

That's a real bummer if that is the case. I really do not care to go the Comer or HPV route with my daughter.

Can the minimax class be opened to younger drivers?

Dom

Dom (and any other lurkers out there),

With enough interest, the GATORZ Karting Cup will offer a MicroMax class for 2009, not including the 2 driveaway Challenge of the Americas races, or the Streets of Willow.

This would be comprised of 6 races, 3 of which at CalSpeed.

Call FTK at 714-289-0432 for more details.

Thanks Andy and do remember you can always practice Sat. before our club races. The Micros are all welcome.

I was under the impression Micro Max would be part of the LAKC program. (?)
Is there a reason? I'm trying to avoid JR1 & looking at a clean used Mini Max to convert, sorry Andy can't do brand new but it is a Birel.

Jerry

Jerry to many classes not enough time in the day to add more. We can not combine Micro with any other class. Very sorry.

Dom,

My earlier post was incorrect. Your 8 year old can run Mini Max at next year. Here is what the rules say:

Mini Max Participant must be have reached 8th birthday before competing in a local RMC event. To compete in 2008 CCRKC Grand Nationals 9th birthday must be prior to Sept 1, 2008 (DOB prior to 9-1-1999).

We hope to see you at our first race of the new season on January 18.

Greg

Does anyone know the participation count for Mini Max 2009?

we no not. we are hoping for a few 3 to 5 i have spoke to are talking about it.
