The 2009 CIRKL Season is officially over. The awards night event was hopefully a lot of fun for everyone.
John Tanaka managed to win the fun (was supposed to be fun) challange race over Toby Rodriguez and the rest of the top racers. No league points but the top drivers are all battling for those top 5 Proscore point positions to get special awards being offered by K1.
The top raffle prize of the go pro helmet wide (not HD) camera went to Ed Bergenholtz (of the famous Bergneholtz drag and drifting racing team). We hope to see some great videos now Ed.
Many thanks again to Robert Dlugos for hosting the www.cirkl.org site with all the times and stats for the league race sites. Thanks again to Brian Guevara for his work on setting up and the care and feeding of this Facebook site. Special thanks to the management, staff and crews at all the K1 facilities where we raced this year.
Finally a big thanks to all the drivers without whom this league would not be possible.
Watch for photos from the Awards night race along with driver photos and race action caught on film by the photographer (Jodi) and hopefully some of the helmet cameras in action to be posted on the facebook site

Every Wed is Reverse Racing at the K1 Anaheim track and since our final race on Wed Nov. 11 will be a reverse race you can get some practice in on any Wed. night. Ok so there is only one left before the race on the 11th its still some. Also arrive early on the night of the race and get some practice in before qualifying starts (7:00pm).
Also if you had not heard. Mondays in Ontario are Super Track night. Yes they have arrive and drive on the super track for anyone on Monday nights. Again for GP drivers this is another chance to get some practice in on the normally configured for GP races track layout. Anyone interested in a Monday night carpool run?

I am sorry to see that the IKRL.ORG web site is no longer being hosted. The site had great potential for providing indoor karting information to everyone and was an additional source for drivers seeking infomation regarding the CIRKL group.
Many thanks to Mitch Hayden and his hard work and efforts to keep the IKRL.ORG web site going. Here's wishing him much success in the future.
Mitch will be involved in the USIKC in Phoneix and other racing events.
He suggests visiting http://indoorkartingnews.com/ as very good website for indoor karting. There is a link to DRIVERS site where karting drivers can register their experiences. Some CIRKL drivers are already listed there.
It's Sunday Aug. 9th and I did forget to mention the K1 Ontario GP that will be run this evening. Check www.K1Speed.com for more info.

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.

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.

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.
