Great numbers, always good to see the strong turnout at Badger. Proud of have grown up racing there as as I think it’s one of the most friendly and passionate clubs in the country.

Unfortunately, we don’t get that every race. There’s a great group in our area that holds a separate series for the TaG Masters. They split there events between Road America and Badger.

@ThaStig95 can speak more to this.

I was in Pewaukee but unable to get to the track :cry:.

There is nothing cooler than seeing 34 entries in a class at a “club level” event! Congrats, and I am jealous!!

When trying to pitch Pitt Race management on how to do things, I refer to Badger more often than anywhere else as a model to follow. You guys do it right!!!

What? That’s terrible! lol. You were so close!

Kart count usually picks up in summer. Would be amazing to see 200 race entries at a club event!

Yep 20mins away! Left front tire had other ideas.

I’m in Mount Pleasant a fair bit, since it’s family stuff it can be harder to get away… but I’d like to get my frame checked over and come down for a race sometime.

That must have been quite a pucker-buns moment! :grimacing:

Customer states that the car suddenly jumped the kerb for no reason.

Nah it wasn’t a huge deal other than delaying us like 27hours by the time we got it all sorted :disappointed:

Do it! You won’t regret it. Such a great track. If you know of anyone looking for drivers to make the race, I’m sure I could round up some locals.

180 entries at our club race this past weekend. As a see local dirt tracks closing, and number fluctuate at regional karting series, I’m happy to see continued high kart counts with many new families and drivers joining each year.

Breakdown:
2-cycle IAME entries - 70
4 cycle Briggs entries - 95
Kid Karts mixed engines -15

My favorite part about this is 15 kid karts!!! Awesome!

Derek-

We run our KK class as a non-competition class with a reduced entree fee. The karts go out in a random order and get about 8-10 mins of track time. They get 4 sessions like this. They are not scored and do not use transponders. We allow Briggs, Comer, Honda, and IAME KK motors.

All of the kids receive a small trophy after their last race of the day each event.
