Changes in the rules:
1. Drivers may use a one-time option to change a kart while in the pits ONLY. On track changes will not be allowed unless for safety reasons only.
2. Drives must take kart assigned by staff.
3. Only one change of karts per night per driver.
4. Racing will be stopped for replacement of unsafe or mechanical issues.
5. Poor performing karts may be reported during qualifications but there must be two reports from drivers of the same kart for a kart to even be considered for removal from racing.
7. Assignment of karts for final races will be based on starting order only. If more than one driver chooses to use their one time change kart option for the final race then the kart re-assignments will in order of starting positions.
8. The track staff will have final answer as to any karts use and as to its running condition.

Corrections/Additions:
Davids fastest time was a 30.26 not 20.26, sorry.
Also the B main top 3 were
Paul C.
Shane G.
Matt D.
The track is fun (IMHO:)) and it will be interesting to see how it run in reverse direction in August.
I hope those that took videos will post them for us all to enjoy.
If you have photos from the race please email any to me at wallsracing@sbcglobal.net

CIRKL 2009 Race 4 Recap:
The new track in Torrance hosting a very fast race with 15 of the top 25 scores for the month currently held by CIRKL drivers.
David Messimers former fast time of 20.26 was shattered by Toby Rodriguez with a blistering 30.01. John Tanaka gave Toby a scare by pulling the second fastest lap at 30.04.
I would like to welcome two new league drivers Mitch Francis and Toni DiSalvo. Toni has a couple of buddies who hope to join us next time as well. Great to have them on board.
Here are the results from K1's scoring system. I hope to have the final league points and standings by the beginning of the week.
A special thanks to Ryan Horn who switched positions with Alfredo Anguiano after a last lap incident that Ryan felt was a little to agressive. Good sportsmanship exhibited.
Pos.- Name --------------Lap----Avg
1 - Toby Rodriguez - 30.39 - 30.61
2 - John Tanaka - 30.08 - 30.60
3 - Taylor Hays - 30.42 - 30.71
4 - Alton Arnold III - 30.52 - 30.78
5 - ryan horn - 30.28 - 30.77
6 - Alfredo Anguiano - 30.13 - 30.83
7 - Kirk Meese - 30.50 - 31.03
8 - Khalifa Alasiri - 30.34 - 31.13
9 - Michael Arnold - 30.83 - 31.24
10 - Paul Ciralli - 30.56 - 30.85
11 - Shane Geivet - 30.44 - 30.84
12 - Matt Drury - 30.38 - 30.94
13 - Brian Guevara - 30.89 - 31.38
14 - Jordan Robertson - 30.96 - 31.36
15 - Carl Walls - 31.07 - 31.47
16 - Mitch Francis - 31.11 - 31.55
17 - Stephen Robertson - 31.13 - 31.99
18 - Toni DiSalvo - 31.25 - 32.07
It became apparent that a clarification of the option to changes karts in the pits. If two or more drivers decide to switch for any reason then they will redraw assignement numbers to decide the order of kart assignment.

Race 3 is in the books and it was an interesting evening. Some of the issues that developed during race pointed out the need to have stronger enforcement of the rules (and have rules defined better). I will work on that for the next event.
There were 20 drivers for the event with 4 guest drivers whom I would like to thank for their attendance and hope to see at some of the other races. The results below show the order that the drivers actually finished in but the position numbers indicate the finish based on guest drivers not being included for points. Guests are marked as "G".
Guest drivers are used for calculating karts passed for the bonus scores since that is a part of racing.
Everyone should have the points and standings chart for this race that was mailed earlier in the week.
The next event is scheduled for the TORRANCE track (still on as of last Sunday) but may have to be moved if the permits are not finalized by the end of the month. The date is May 8th and sign in will be at 7:00pm.

Here's a quick report on the CIRKL 2009 Race 2 event at Anaheim (reverse direction).
Reverse was fast with Robert Dlugos pulling a 29.05 fast lap and starting 1st for the A main.
We ended up with 11 in the A main due to the fact that the 10 and 11 starters had the same fast times and I did not feel it fair to either one to have to start in the B main.
The karts seemed ok and the only real problem was with the timing and scoring. It seems that the barriers at the start - finish line got moved and some of the karts transponders did not record their actual finish. I hope we were able to correct all the finishes and if anyone feels their position is incorrect then please let me know. If there are pro-score or xp issues then please take those up with K1.
We had 19 races and did 3 qual. groups then 2 main races. That seemed to work well. There was some confusion on the kart order for the qualifications but since it was random assigning anyway I hope no one was disappointed.
A Main
rank - racer - best lap / average lap
1 Robert Dlugos 29.55 / 29.92
2 Taylor Hays 29.10 / 31.92
3 Toby Rodriguez 29.12 / 30.06
4 John Tanaka 29.70 / 60.29
5 ryan horn 29.59 / 30.13
6 Alfredo Anguiano 29.68 / 34.51
7 Paul Ciralli 29.93 / 34.87
8 Khalifa Alasiri 29.51 / 30.19
9 Matt Drury 29.54 / 34.64
10 David Messimer 29.37 / 30.71
11 Alton Arnold III 29.99 / 30.99
B Main
1 Kirk Meese 29.63 / 30.03 (12 overall)
2 Shane Geivet 29.92 / 30.30 (13 overall)
3 Michael Arnold 30.15 / 30.80 (14 overall)
4 Brian Guevara 30.27 / 32.90 (15 overall)
5 Ahmed Alasiri 30.14 / 30.87 (16 overall)
6 Carl Walls 30.14 / 30.90 (17 overall)
7 Ed Ray 31.06 / 31.69 29 (18 overall)
8 Garrett Hume 31.31 / 31.97 (19 overall)
The B main (my race) was very close for the 3, 4, 5, & 6 positions with some tight racing (see the fast lap times). The A main was a fast race with every driver getting into the 29 sec category. Taylor Hays had the fastest (recorded) time at 29.10 and was coming on strong at the end.
I should have the league points together by the beginning of next week.
Watch this space for any changes in Venues or other important information.
Thanks to all who showed up and to the crew at K1 Anaheim for all their help.

I went to the track early to promote the league only to find that everyone there was already in the league. Only 5 raced the event so it was alao a league driver sweep.
