      CRE (track) is not far from you in Calhan CO, The Track at Centennial is on the south side of Denver, IMI is just north of Denver, and as Stacey Cook mentioned, Grand Junction Motor Speedway is (a bit) west of Denver. There is also a track at Bandimere speedway. You can run a shifter at any of them.

      Check out club racing at all of the tracks in the spring.  I don’t want to influence your decision as you should choose the class and track that appeals to you.  There are some VERY good shifter drivers from this area and you’ll see them using the local races as practice for the big nationals.    Stick with stock moto for local competition and then you will have a package that will be legal for racing in other series.

      Do you have a budget in mind?  Are you planning on doing a local series or just occasional practice days?

      Hi Dacey, there are lots of great tracks in CO.  Also check out http://www.thecoloradokarter.com  for more localized information.  As David mentioned, the LO206 racing is affordable and great fun with huge fields.  Set up an account and introduce yourself on the colorado karter site.  You’ll find a great group of knowledgeable (and funny) karters.  Pick up a used chassis and a  Briggs and come on out.

      As to your DD2 question, there is an active Rotax group that races at centennial but I think DD2 is in the single digits as far as participation.

      We’d love to have another shifter guy to race with but if you are just getting back into racing, I would point you towards the briggs for affordability and simplicity.

      Price dropped to $600.00 plus shipping.

      Umbrella girls not included but they will be all over you FOR FREE once you buy this engine. Umbrella girls love pure karting.  They hate batteries, onboard starters, crappy clutches, and rev limiters. Most of all they hate power valves.

      Hi David,

      A compression test would be a good start.  I cannot comment with any authority on what you should expect from a Rotax, but when I test my stock Hondas, I expect to see about 120 PSI. Get a baseline and test again after running for a couple days. If the pressure is dropping below your baseline then the ring may be due for replacement and it is probably ready for a new top-end.

      You may also want to post in the Rotax specific forum further down the page.
