9. Tuesday CalderwoodDavid ColeKeymasterMy guess is that is the same review you will receive from ‘non-karters’
David ColeKeymasterThe race is on, now questions about that. The host hotel is moving. Remember, the event is at the Las Vegas Convention Center, not the Riveria – which was the host hotel.
Official information coming soon.
David ColeKeymasterThank you.
David ColeKeymasterThat shouldn’t matter, if you just copy the image URL
I have all my photos set to just Friends and not Public, but you can still steal the Image URL and post where you want to.
David ColeKeymasterYes, load it up on your facebook. After you upload, go to the photo, right click and ‘Copy Image URL’. That is the URL you need to paste when you insert a photo to a post.
David ColeKeymasterMake sure you have the photo loaded on a website prior, as you can not upload photos to the site directly.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
David ColeKeymasterDepends on a number of factors – type of chassis, type of wheels, type of tires, and more importantly, who is driving.
At a track like Rock Island, with all drivers on 5″ wheels: CIK chassis, 4-Cycle chassis, laydown seat, CIK seat, big nose, CIK nose, they all ran together at the front. It really comes down to who’s driving.
If the class is just getting started, keep things open to bring in as many people as you can. Keeping tire costs to a minimum is another good thing, so not to force racers to buy a new set every club race.
David ColeKeymasterIt’s simple: Keep the engine rules like the rest of the country – following the Briggs rule structure that hasn’t changed in the last few years.
Next, use standard safety rules like WKA uses, and let it rip. Don’t worry if its a CIK kart or a laydown seat. It really doesn’t matter as long as there is a class for racers to get into the sport or come back out of retirement. When you get 20-30 on a grid, then you can start worrying about what chassis rules to follow.
Remember, this is karting. Make it simple and people will come.
David ColeKeymasterI have heard that update information regarding the SuperNationals will be forthcoming from Superkarts! USA.
David ColeKeymasterHere is a more affordable tool : http://cometkartsales.com/Tire-Pryr-Kit-for-5-inch-Wheels.html
Otherwise, it’s all hard labor. Some use screwdrivers, others can just do it by hand.
David ColeKeymasterYes, making the jump from indoor karts to competitive karts can be tricky, thus why you want to start at the entry level, then jumping right up to the elite level.
Yes, but instead of looking at ebay, look at the classifieds here, or just buy it right from the shop so you know there is no question that the engine is what it is, and you can get your parts right from them – http://cometkartsales.com/Briggs-Local-Option-206-Engine.html
David ColeKeymasterYour best solution is to find out what entry level classes either of the tracks have. Going with a Rotax is a big learning curve, both on and off the track.
Here is a local shop – http://www.fulltiltracing.com/
Or you can also look at – http://www.ovrp.net/
David ColeKeymasterQuick advice, don’t put a $4,000 engine on a $500 chassis
Personally, that Corsair is for a Briggs LO206 or Clone class, something to just get you started in the sport. It’s cheap because parts are probably non-existent. I have heard of the name, but not sure who or where you would get parts that fit the brand.
Are you brand new to the sport?
If so, LO206 is probably a better direction for you. You could get this kart, put on an engine for about another $1,000, and have some fun.
Otherwise, I would look into something more recognizable if you are going toward the Rotax route. You will also want to find a local kart shop to work with, as you will likely have questions and need to buy parts.
David ColeKeymasterHello Alex, where did you find it? That’s the best way to understand what you are looking at is if we can see it too.
What are you looking to do with the kart – 4-Cycle, 2-Cycle, TaG racing?
Where do you plan to race?
