I would run either all the castor and then straight switch to redline. It shouldn’t take to long to empty a kart tank. You could mix the two together. Just not recommended.

We can meet up when you get down here. I kart mostly during the weekends. I would recommend getting some driving instruction. I know that Andersen can provide such training in the rental 4 stroke rock karts. Talk to Matthew Barnebey at Andersen and he should be able to give you some 1 on 1 training to get your lap times to the 61 second lap times you need. Then you can rent their 2 stroke birel, with proper race tires and see if that is a class you would like to pursue. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

I do not do anything to my tires between sessions. However I have seen the same thing. If a tire is going into long term storage I would say it might be wise to wrap to try and hold the chemicals in the tires.

Hi Bill,

I can tell you that the 4 stroke “sprint track” karting in Florida is not very strong. We prefer the 2 stroke. The largest class in Florida is Rotax Max (FR125), There are small classes of LO206 (briggs) popping up but I would not jump into that without more participants. The other class that is popular is ROK. Both are fairly fast classes, and I would recommend more seat time in slower classes. I am a regular at Andersen, as well as Ocala. Ocala does have rental rotax jr. karts on rental chassis. Although they are fun they use slicker tires and they can be a handful to drive for someone who is not use to it. Are you looking to be competitive or just go out and practice?
