Thanks Russ, I did get my kart to a pond and did a little practice. Man I don’t know if I am down on power, old fuel, or just spoiled from running that shifter last year. I don’t like it when you can flatfoot and not use any brakes.
Guess I’ll have to take off the summer of racing so I can build a real open 4 stroke for next winter. I hope I find a few more pony’s and rpm’s when I run it at the event center as it is 5,000 feet lower than my practice pond.
If anyone has a 97 tooth 35 chain sprocket bring it tonight. I could also use a gallon of none oil mixed nitro and a pint of propylene oxide.

I would hope that a few more karters from around here get interested in having some winter time fun with karts on ice. It would be nice to have some local races. I would think with Colorado being the #1 winter vacation spot, there isn’t any reason karts on ice couldn’t be another attraction in places like Winter Park, George town or other vacation areas.
Hay JB, load up them rentals and head west for the winter?
Better than just an oval would be a road coarse. Any one have four 6″X6″ euro spaced rims so I can try out my shifter with these snow hogs?
I was really happy with the results of my $12 tires.
