In a word yes, however let it not be forgotten that mfg was on pole in his first ever shifter kart race and that my friends is my greatest claim to shifter karting fame. Beating out names like Schoombee, Musgrave and Legate. All PKC champions at the highest level class at PKC.

You dropped like a rock through the field progressively in each race, though. To think that your karting career peaked on that lap. If you only would have known to quit at that moment.
I actually remember that day. I didn't feel like changing to a rain setup so I skipped qualifying and the first heat. I ran Heat 2 and the Main after it dried out.

Let me see now. Is my geography correct? Most (not all) of the anti KZer's are from the left coast. This is where the elite are concentrated and they owe no allegiance to anyone except to themselves.
Their view point is always right on and a comment about an engineering issue means absolutely nothing to them...since most of them don't understand engineering anyway. The evidence is the promotion and love affair with a dirt bike engine that is no longer manufactured, will never be improved and should never ever be installed on a racing kart.
They contribute zilch to karting. Their posts generally deal with the moto problems, pump around, cracking pipes and other moto engine idiosyncrasies. But if someone questions the motive for their reasoning they defend their right to dilute karting with the an abomination of an engine because it is their right to do so.
Only in America!
Y'all have a good day now.

You know Tom, in all of your endless Honda complaints, I can't actually recall a single argument that would appeal to an engineer. Certainly plenty of aesthetic rants, but that's typical of religious zealots. Which you clearly are.
If Spec moto is so bad, why are you so afraid of it?

Tom, my dogs get it by now, you don't like Motos!!!
You keep forgetting, you wouldn't have KZ's or ICC, or whatever they're called this week, if the motos hadn't built the following it did. They're weren't any amount of ICC's before somebody bribed SKUSA into changing from motos to ICC's.
And what about the TM moto kart motors? Even the "I"talian's got into the abomination business...

I guess im not sure i understand how good some of the ICC are that are left in america. My buddy (Joe ruch) and I were at new castle this past weekend and there were about 10 iccs. All slower then piss and couldnt get out of there own way. I think several seconds off the stock honda pace. Quality control wise i guess ill take random pipe cracking with the fact that we get 10 hours on a 60 dollar piston. ZINNNGGG. They all had something on the side of them something flag mtr sports???

Nope you don't remember it exactly. First you came by my pits and asked me if I was going to be as slow in Shifter as I was in Rotax. Then the look on your face as I put that shifter on pole was priceless 
Finished 2nd in heat one, not too bad. Finished 8th in Heat 2. Still for my first shifter race ever against some of the heroes of today, not all that bad. Mechanical failure in the main. I'm simply too strong for the shifter lever which I broke with my mighty right arm which could just as easily be wrapped around someone’s neck

BTW did you remember to tighten the motor mount bolts last time out. It could be a major concern during a race and cause an off road excursion I would think that a kart shop owner would remember to do at least that for his customers and especially for his own personal kart on such an important race day!!!! |
