  Hi Gerry. It’s why I came back to karting but didn’t realize the class was dead. I thought there was a spark of interest and got me fired up . We will see.. ;)

  Gerry I’m looking at it the other way since I really only have time to race 3 or 4 times a year I figure I can afford to run the twin. But you and I are the only ones talking about this so probably a mute point !

  If there was a strong field, I would love to run a twin… but I frankly think the NW’s best option for building a competitive well-attended series is with the singles.

    Mid eighties to late 90s there were 25 twins in the North West i can name them all and DRVS
    3 -Idaho
    6- Vancouver
    13-Washington
    3-Oregon
    Club race average 12-18 twins 45 mins race, GNTs 1hr
    250S ran there own class called 250 gearbox
    We ran at Westwood,Oregon,Spokane,Bremerton,Seattle,
    Indycar weekend Portland with Nck & Sck twins
    Very much doubt that you will see that kind of participation again, must remember those days Rotax 256 was king everyone was pretty much on par pwr wise & a new motor could be brought for about 2,500 pnds from Cdpt UK tuned & Andover Norton Uk.
    US 3,000 from Murphy
    Racers today buy & tune singles for more money & go slower
    and i’m one of them it seems to me that running a single has cost me more money then all those years of running twins
    the thrill of driving a twin is something to never forget
