Hi Guys,
We are thinking about the 2026 shifter school already. Again, it's the last ever!
We are considering holding the shifter school mid season at the track direction change.
Please let us know if you have any feedback on the date change (from 2025 Mid June to now likely 2026 August)
And also the direction change. It seemed our karters are proficient at CCW and we are thinking CW would be worth some effort!
Please leave your thoughts in this forum thread
Joey, Jesse and the crew

Sounds like a good idea! Can we add some barriers right at the edge of the track, for extra practice? I will be there!!!

Hi Everybody,
Some additional information about the event:
You must supply your own kart and equipment
You must be a member in good standing of the CKRC
You should have some shifter kart experience, at least a few test and tunes
Thanks!

Re: Shifter school 2026 date and direction
I like the idea of running the school in the CW direction !
However, there is nothing stopping us from running it in any direction we want and at any time if we have the track to ourselves. The only possible hiccup is if we want to practice starts and the lights are in the wrong spot but for sake of practice starts, if we feel we really need the lights, we just do that drill in the CCW direction.
My $0.17 worth ($0.02 adjusted for inflation from last week)

Re: Shifter school 2026 date and direction
Thanks for the thoughts Mark.
My concept is to practice the direction of the upcoming race. For example if the school is a wednesday, and there's a race on the saturday (3 days later). I'd like for the direction of the school to help the students compete
