| Works pretty good. Most likely the reason the Minimax class is one of the largest classes in karting. |

How's that working out?

Actually, though you may not realise it, it will be working. !
If there was no spec gear...you would spend more on gears
If there was no spec fuel ...you would spend more on fuel
if there was no spec tires...you would spend more on tires
..etc
etc
.....get the idea ?
no one said it would make it CHEAP ... just control the costs.

Ihor,
2008 was the worst year for Rotex cylinders. We had two of them. We were able to get Turbo with both of those engines stock out of the box, and with untouched carbs. What everyone said here is true. Being totally tuned in with Carb, Driver, Chassis, and Engine will determine when and how strong you will get Turbo. A father of one of the best drivers in this country told me this. "I will tell you everything that I know to help you, then I don't have to worry that you have something to beat my driver that I do not know about, now we can leave it up to the drivers" I will help you with what I can. Good luck and say hi to Michael for us. The Sobel Family. Derek James Sobel #5 |

| We can teach you too. We figured it out when Derek was 10, not going on 14, when he became the youngest driver in Rotex history to set pole in the Mini Max class at Norman Ok. Will you be racing Cadet next year? LMFAO |

Is "rotex" another engine made by rolex that none of us are familliar with? Does rotex make an engine that gets turbo right out of the box?
Got a link or information on it?
Who is it, that is going on 14 ??

Your quote.."Will you be racing Cadet next year? LMFAO"
Nope, I would hope that all of the series that cadet is offered , that me being 50 years of age that, they may notice and not allow it.
P.S. Let me know if you think Bill Wright's glasses are that far off and , nevermind...

P.S. The Cadet one and only white > FUR < rocket engine has been sold in the state of Florida. You only have 2 more years to deal with it.
Happy Motoring |

Your FURogero engine was nothing to deal with against us anyway. And to let you know we will see you in the JR. Classes this year. Derek will be 12 in two weeks. Not 14.  Don't be scared! |

That number "14" keeps coming up. Is that your new kart number?
I don't think that people would think derek is 14 years old?
Or, Are you saying that my 12 year old daughter is 14?
Just askin...
Scared? no need to worry.. |

Embarrassed? No, Ashley has been laughing at this fool for some time now.
Maybe you could hook up with Ray and trade speed stories. Don't forget it took him five years to figure out it takes money to get into nascar.
"Most everyone will pay for Nascar or Indy by sponsorship or your own money. It took my family five of our six years of racing to realize this."

Perhaps if the "Just Say No" slogan came out 10 years earlier. You wouldn't
