For the RECORD,
Dane’s engine was purchased new from IMI.
Motor History
Sept 2002-Purchased from IMI with a DFM Kart
Oct 2002-Stuck Motor, Given to Brad for a rebuild, was sent to KSD by Brad (Head, piston, rings replaced $700)
July 2003-Crank seals replaced by Acceleration Karting, new piston ring
I watch this kid spend countless hours tuning his chassis. learning everything he can about handling. The biggest gain for him was attending Nationals last year and being pushed to the limit to tune his kart and compete with the best of the best. And he qualified 22nd of the top 64 Rotax drivers in the country. The top 37 were all in a 1 second window. I think that speaks for itself that he’s got some skills there, it’s not all about motors. It takes a smooth driver and a perfect kart to get the best times on the track.
Just wanted to get these facts out in the open, in case anyone is questioning Dane or his equipment.

P.S. I would welcome a well-stocked service center on the front range. I send way too much money out of state currently.
