In 18 years of racing I’ve only heard of 1 chain ever breaking on a shifter kart. It sure is a lot easier using a master link.  Just make sure you always check your chain tension isn’t too loose.

Weird, Like I mentioned before I use one just fine,  Righetti Ridolfi parts cost less than OTK too.

If you’re into the facebook stuff the Sonoma kart track has a facebook page that is constantly updated. https://www.facebook.com/SRW.PKC

The Redline oil series has some good racing too. Stock Moto and Rotax.

I’d contact a Tony Kart dealer. A lot of of them are busy this week with supernationals but I’m sure they could help you out with it.

I have a Tony Kart EVR and EVRR and I use a Righetti Ridolfi 3 liter tank just fine.  It fits just fine. I added a little bit bigger spacer on the bolt between the tank and the rail but that’s it.

If you’re in San Jose you should go down to Cambrian Karts. They’re a great group of people and could help you out.  The closest club to you is Monterey Bay Karters. There’s also several in the Sacramento area and central valley. Kinsmen, Blue Max, Atwater, Kerman, Prairie City, and a race series up at the Sonoma Raceway called Redline Oil series.

The picture you saw that goes through the uprights is most likely a cadet. They used a pretty standard Reghetti Ridolfi tank from what I remember, you probably just need a smaller tank than what is on the kart.  The person that would know for sure is Greg at Leading Edge Motorsports, they were a pretty prominent TrackMagic dealer.

Agreed. This site is mostly race write ups and press releases. It would be nice to see some more content related to the state of karting in the US, how changes in Europe could effect us (new engines, new front bumper etc), interviews with drivers, tech articles, etc. I’ve been even hearing for a few years now about how there was going to be an article about all of the newer US kart manufacturers but never saw it. I visit this site every day, most of the time it’s only for a second because the newest article is about a race that I have no interest in.  I’m sure advertising dollars would increase if there was more content to keep readers on pages longer so it would be worth the investment.

I understand that relationship. I think it’s a perfect marriage. CIK is good at rule structure and governing the races, WSK is good at event organization, promotion etc.

[Taylor Young]

Just from listening to this event it sounded like there was a lot of issues with either rough driving or stupid driving. A lot of red flags, spin outs and off track situations.  I wasn’t there, but that’s my impression from write ups and descriptions. There seems to be a lack of direction and culture for clean and smart driving in US karting. I’ve watched CIK/WSK events and although they are not without incident they seem to be overall more professional when it comes to racing on the track.  The only thing I can think of for why this is, is that most of these events are run as a promoter/event organizer (which they do very well) and not as a governing body.

It’s almost the opposite of when I first started racing with IKF years ago. It was all about the rules and rule book and less about the promotion of the event and sport.  If only there was a happy medium.

Sorry if this seems out of left field, just a though from reading the above situation and my observations of the event.

If you have a header already on the engine almost any pipe used for a tag engine will work. As far as the carb not sure since I’m not as familiar with the rotary style FA engines.  I think this forum you’ll find many people that could help you out with this question: http://www.karting1.co.uk/forum/

There’s a few companies out there that make generic kart graphics for that style of body work.

I ran YDS tires for years, we used much higher pressure than softer compounds. I’d go for 22-24 pounds hot.

On mylaps it shows placing 16th but now I noticed he had the lowest total time so I stand corrected. Should be exciting, I wish I could watch.

Lamb had some fast times at DKC Texas Prokart race over the weekend but couldn’t finish on top. Not sure what the story is but things will be interesting this weekend.

[Taylor Young]

what size is the tony kart suit

[Taylor Young]

Priced to sell. Make me an offer.

[Taylor Young]

The Americans have an advantage with this engine package and I’m sure some have put more time in at this track so anything is possible.  I wonder if this means they’ll be running the full pro tour along with running S1 at the Supernationals. I’m interested to see how things play out.
