Very Cool. Thanks Gene. I assume it will be on Race Monitor?
David ColeKeymasterVery confusing. My guess is that either the 362 Engine section is a typo or the 620 heading is a typo. Contact WKA office to be sure.

December 8, 2014 at 6:28 pm in reply to: Big changes in the industry, how does this affect dealers? #38603David ColeKeymasterI touched on the schedules thing in my column today. A few years ago, it was something everyone was working together to do. Now, it seems a battle for the prime weekends. Right now, there doesn’t seem to be a conflict on major events. COTA and FWT still have a good working relationship. The summer months are always the toughest.
In the coming weeks, we will be talking with more teams about what their plans are for 2015, and what dealers are looking to support. It really depends on what their customers want to do, IMO.
Club racing really needs to focus on the entry level programs. Big numbers there will help feed the faster, higher cost programs in the future.
December 6, 2014 at 11:21 am in reply to: Ohio (and surrounding area) Karters: looking for advice #38466David ColeKeymasterCheck out https://www.facebook.com/AdrenalineFixKarting if you are looking to start out in something like LO206, just to get your feet wet.
If you are looking to go national racing in TaG or Shifter, go with Checkered Motorsports – if you are looking to stay with shops in Ohio.
Like you said, Comet Kart Sales at New Castle is another great option, with an assortment of karts available through there, and a really strong club program.

Scroll to the bottom for a photo and information.
David ColeKeymasterIt’s simple, a class WITHIN a class. If you want to keep racing Rotax, pool together enough racers and ask your promoter/series/club to create a class within the Senior Max category for drivers over 190lbs. Karting is mostly racing for a trophy, if you can get enough racers together, maybe they will offer up a first place trophy.
Otherwise, continue to work hard and improve as a driver against the Senior drivers. If you can get to within 10 to 15lbs., it is realistic to be competitive. Many drivers have done diets and training to lose weight for racing.
David ColeKeymasterhttp://live2014.kart-data.com/RGF/ they have the standings after Friday, but do not have an updated result for the Nations Cup after Saturday’s Finals. South Africa won with Australia second and Spain third. Not sure where Team USA finished. Some reason, official results are hard to find unless at the facility.

David ColeKeymasterWe were told that it was because he checked the wheel tightness on the false grid. No tools or working on the karts is allowed before you leave the grid. They would not let him on the track for qualifying. Rogero suffered the same penalty.
