Awesome JW. I’m wrenching for pops but if you need anything, let me know.

Salak, looking at the WKA Tech Mag, it looks like you have to have a Snell or SFI specified helmet. I would call WKA office.

Who’s coming? If anyone needs a hand, I’ll be there.

[David Cole]

Head over to Portland Karting Association and contact Michael Schorn. He is a longtime WF racer and will get you going in the right direction. Great person.

S4 Start – Saturday

What Jim said if you are looking for outside the Michigan area. If you feel like a trip, check out Blackhawk in Illinois, otherwise, hit the CES events at Grattan and Gingerman. Two of the best tracks in the country.

Keep working at it Josh.

Canada karting and USA karting is so different.

Canada: It has become Rotax and LO206, with Honda 4-cycle racing still taking part at some club level. Rok Cup is also growing ground, but ASN Canada – the country’s ONLY sanctioning body recognizes just Rotax and LO206 as a national class. Thus, I love it and I’d like to do the ECKC event at Goodwood, as my dad raced there roughly 35 years ago.

USA: Multiple sanctioning bodies equals a country full of diverse engine packages and rule structures. WKA, IKF, TAGUSA, SKUSA, NKA, and others.

In a perfect world, I would FORCE LO206 to all beginners. It’s inexpensive and a great transition from Rental Kart racing to competition karting.

[David Cole]

WKA: $50 (Friday) + $80 (Saturday) + $80 (Sunday) = $210
USPKS: $350 (Three days combined)

It’s a bigger jump in price, I agree. But again, it’s Pro level.

That’s the great thing about regional programs, it should be cheaper than national but cost a little more than club. It’s the progression of the sport.

For a class structure, it seems the Pro Gas is the avenue that 4-Cycle racing is going. I’d prefer to see LO206 stay at the club level, but regional racing is not bad.

[David Cole]

Check out Michigan Kart Club for some road racing events.

Even when USPKS comes (if our track doesn’t cancel that too) I can’t run because A) entry fees are nuts B) I don’t have a can.

What do you consider ‘entry fees nuts’ for a national event? USPKS is not a regular club race, it’s a Pro race, with money handed out. Roughly $116 a day for the track time they get is a solid deal. If I may, what do you pay for club racing and what is the amount of you get.

I agree, the can/pipe situation is tough. However, the Yamaha Can class, no matter where I go, is among the best races on any weekend.

[David Cole]

Taylor, WSK is a promotion company that puts on races. CIK actually hired them to do their events now after nearly putting CIK races ‘out of business’. The difference from the level or racing to this is skill-level. I’ll be addressing that more in my column to be published tomorrow.

[David Cole]

Harry, I would contact Comet Kart Sales directly to find out what is needed to service the clutch.

[David Cole]

IMO, lap karts are part of racing. However, the blue flag needs to be used in more than just the start/finish line.
