Have you guys seen the Simpson Hybrid pro-rage? Looks like it could be functional to karting with helmets with HANS adaptability even without belts. I am looking to get a Leatt but I am interested in what HANS may be bringing to karting if in fact they are coming to karting with a H&N safety device.

Just reiterating what has been previously stated, foam provides no protection. Go with a Leatt if not something of similar design.

What is HANS doing for karting?

Hey Doug,

Yes I did notice you and your kart. That is one very meticulously laid out kart. I’d like to pick your brain some more. I plan on going for a lil ride up to see Curtis @ Acceleration Karting.

Thanks for the heads up re: LAKC races to get more info.

Skid rails like these? I’d really like a chance to pick your brain about things I should get for my kart as I was beyond impressed with yours as well as your Trailer. Well thought out.

Chris, would you be so kind as to post a few photos of this fab’d tool?

Hey Jason, thanks for the wise words. I am in San Diego and I know that there was a kart shop up in Oceanside but they went under. I swung by the local SDKA races at Qualcomm and met some really cool people who run shifters so that is another bonus. My friend and I will add two more to the shifter mix in SD.

I did see a new/newer Intrepid and it does look pretty damn slick. I raced motorcycles and knew about keeping them showroom clean as then you will more easily notice a change.

I will let my friend know about the price of the Intrepid kart. That is a really good price for a new chassis.

Thanks for the heads up on the Ceramic brakes. How often do ceramic rotors go through pads in comparison to Steels? I am sure the ceramic accompanying pads cost more than the steel pads.

Lastly, thanks for the info on DR parts being a direct and cheaper option to CRG parts on CRG Karts.

Morning all,

Without going buck wild with research, what karts out there are rebadged CRG karts? so I guess the differences are in the equipment they are shod with? … and the paint/powder coating of the frame?

Now my gf wants to try a Rotax Max. I booked some karting classes for my GF at Bondurant as I’d rather have pros give her the baseline education. Her helmet already arrived from Patrice at Smart Race Paint.

Hey Josh, Thanks and yes I am looking to get a new chassis, and planned on it being a 2013. I just figured newer=better. What is your rationale for suggesting 2013 over 2012? Thanks again for the info.

CR!!!

[Andrew Pachon]

I’d never heard of DR Kart and just learned that their chassis are made by CRG. Do you drive one? Thoughts, comments? Thanks for the heads up on this company.
