I agree with Jack about the higher chance for more serious incidents in the CW direction. I also agree with the comment about doing that direction after everyone has put in laps and races in the CCW direction and have become a little more "switched on" as the season progresses. We get an amazing prospective from where our seacan sits, to see the speeds they are doing down the straight and braking for the sharp right hander. Sometimes hard for us to watch even when our own son isn't out there! In the CW direction, the sprint for the finish line has produced some scarey situations in the past and with a marshall post on each side, there is little forgiveness. I think it was our first year (2018) when I seen two karts come together as they were racing for the checkered flag , only to have one go across the finish line backwards. ( definitely a little less forgiving for rookies)

I can only speak for me as a spectator, and have very little knowledge as far as what chassis damage either direction causes. I will ask Carter tonight what his thoughts are but for those of you that know him, he can be a man of few words.

I'm not a fan of the Stooges, all the reasons above. In favor of the season starting in CCW and then 60/40 for CW.

I would have to agree with all the comments that have been shared so far. I remember coming to watch the races in 2019 and "tic tac toe" was causing havoc that weekend with chains coming off and wipe outs. It was fun to watch but not good for racing.

I like CCW the best because the bumps are not so bad. CW caused me to lose two chains this year. One of those times allowed my brother to beat me....we cant have that in 2022, or ever.

CCW 60/ 40 CW is my preference but I am happy with how things have been the past few years.
