PPIR is gonna be back as well? That’s awesome. At last year’s SOLO nationals a 125 shifter set the fastest time of the event. Clearly the handling and power to weight ratio of a kart is a force for big cars to recognize. Greg’s a hell of a driver, but to do that with only 60ccs is nothing short of amazing. Although, assuming that was what? 3 or 4 years ago? He probably only weighed like 70lbs at the time, huh? 😆

Hah!
Yeah, it would have been around 2000 or 2001 when we last raced at Second Creek. I was in 80cc at the time, and we were running faster than the Formula Fords could!
I think a 125 shifter held the track record out there for awhile, until Paul Tracy showed up in his Champ Car for a test day.
