Ray ChiappeParticipant
Sam, what kind of chassis do you have? And how close to the axle 3rd bearing is the sprocket and chain? Thanks
Ray ChiappeParticipantPretty small picture. The Swedetech mount.
Ray ChiappeParticipantI was looking at the Motor mount at Acceleration Karting. It has a bushing that looks like can go on either side of the motor. Not sure on the exact size but looks to be about 3/8 of an inch? Saw one on a Kart, it put the axle sprocket very close to the 3rd bearing bolts. Was thinking I may have to grind those bolt heads a little.
Chris I’m 67 and I need this!
Ray ChiappeParticipantI have an electric kart stand. Makes the procedure much easier. I fold up some duct tape and put it under the throttle to make it idle. Start the motor with a strap on the tire, then lower the kart to the ground. Move the stand out of the way and get in. All the time hoping the motor doesn’t quit. The duct tape blows away once on the track. Note I am way too old to run along side the kart and jump in!! Just had knee replacement anyway!
Ray ChiappeParticipantDean, I’ll be there! Also my grand daughter will run her first Tag Road Race!
Ray ChiappeParticipantI have seen axle clutches used at Road Races. Don’t know if one will work with sprint gearing? I think a Rotax with a slippy clutch with say a stall around 7,000 rpm would be a rocket!
Ray ChiappeParticipantJim I have the same problem. I looked at an offset motor mount the other day that should help. And moving the seat a little should work.
Ray ChiappeParticipantI think this will attract more Stock Honda pilots in Road Racing. Would be so cool to sit on the grid and push a button!!
Ray ChiappeParticipantI will be going to Laguna Seca in July!!

Ray ChiappeParticipantHow many runs each day??
Ray ChiappeParticipantDoes Kart Limits mean to sound db or the number of karts allowed?
Ray ChiappeParticipantGreat warm up, because NCK is running Big Willow in April! Come on So. Cal people!
Ray ChiappeParticipantSo Laguna is a definite go?? What a great replacement for COTA!!
Ray ChiappeParticipantI sure hope this comes off! 60 miles to get on a road course! End of March I’ll be driving 12 hours one way to get to Thunderhill.
Ray ChiappeParticipantDepends on the class you run on the type of body work. But there are plenty of Sprint classes avail. that use stock sprint plastic! The main thing you will find very different is the gearing.
Ray ChiappeParticipantGreat, this is a fun day. We need some So Cal people to come out. You will have a blast!
Ray ChiappeParticipantRace Promoters, you are losing possible entries with no progress reports on this race. Good or bad you should post something??
Ray ChiappeParticipantWell it looks like CRG in Grand Junction has what I am looking for!!
Ray ChiappeParticipantThanks Fred, I called the local kart shop, they didn’t have one. I’ll do more checking.
Ray ChiappeParticipantI would like to see a proposed date for a Post by a race official!
Ray ChiappeParticipantWell done!
Ray ChiappeParticipantBernie posts on Facebook!
Ray ChiappeParticipantJust made it home a while ago! Long drive, but as always it was worth it. If there is a more fun Road Race course I haven’t seen it. Thanks to NCK for putting on this race!!
Ray ChiappeParticipantI would say to stay away from a Track Magic. I found it to be very hard to find parts. If you have to have one you need to buy two or three of them! For parts!
