Very, very, immensely cool, guys. 8) Show ’em what the Colorado racers are made of!
By the way, we expect lots and lots of pictures. And, Roman, we expect some helmet cam footage as well! :cheers:
BTW, i’m extremely jealous!
Brad that looks AWESOME! I guess there is some payback for being the importer! I couldn’t find any info on the Oral 250…is that another twin like the Biland? Is the Vampire 4-stroke single also eligible? Hope you’ll post some pics when you return.
Congrats to all the racers going overseas!

We are the importer for all three engines, the other engines are singles. The Vampire ran the event last year but was DQed for to large of a carb so they decided not to go this year. A more direct link to the Monaco info: http://www.kart-gp.com/docs/MCKARTCUP06GB_prsentat.pdf
I will have more exciting information coming soon about the new 4-stroke TAG classes and 4-stroke engine program for next season. Vampire info: http://www.suterracing.comBrad……..Can’t I go and be the engineer in charge of adult beverages/PR guy? I’ll be good I promise! :cheers:

More engines more classes?????
We potentially diluting the market
No, Brad is also mentioning annother motor-Vampire.
I can’t blame Brad as he has been bringing new motors to the states-it is the karting biz. From the racer standpoint though it is more choices thus dilution.
That is totally awesome, Seth, Kyle, Sam, Jack, Roman and Marc. I’m not sure how many of you are missing school for this trip, but make sure all of your class mates know what you are up to! Drive-’em like you stole-’em! :hehehe
Good for you Brad!
Everyone,
The oppurtunity Brad has presented some of “our” local talent cannot go unoticed. He truely is a racer through and through. (And some of our local talent is pretty damn good) lets put them on the world stage and see what they do.
Brad is sometimes a little ahead of our sport Rich. Bringing new concepts into the sport isn’t a ploy to dilute racing. I think all B.S. aside you’d have to agree. His open minded approach has and will move our sport forward.
Rich, I have a work bench, Don’t mind helping mount a seat and have a set of scales at your disposal. Get your a$$ out there and race. There’s one more to go! And you gotta job, You can recover.
Jon if the Cik will allow Helmet cam, We’re in and you’ll get a copy. Although, the credentials for this International Race License are harder to get than a passport. (physical, photo’s, supporting documents etc..) So we’ll see!
Mike, I have a hard time believing you’ll be good. (call it a hunch) But would try to find some sponsorship for that perfect (engineered) drink, I know your capable of. Peeling you off of umbrella girls and the French scenery may be more of a distraction than we can handle though.
Michael, it’s a temp circuit, but were gonna have to drive em like were leasing em. But you know the drivers going to this event don’t think the same once the “visor flips down” anyway. So they’ll drive em like they stole em anyway. We’ll pay the piper once it’s all said and done.
Oral has allways been a fairly respected word in my vocabulary but it has recently become the nemisis to our group. It’s going down!!! Were coming in to a pretty oppulant environment with short levis and such, They’ll know we were there one way or another. And it’s pretty much gonna give the Oral all it can handle!
Easy to sling it out there! Just having fun with our boys. Lets rock!!!
Thanks Brad! for the oppurtunuty!
Hey Rick and Brad:
I’ve got a great idea that you all should give serious consideration; get yourselves Billy Bob Teeth and y’all arrive wearing them with some Good Ole American flagged T-shirts. I’ll GAR RUN TEE you’ll get noticed for all the good reasons! Then when you smoke em at the race you’ll only upset the French more.
(please go to La Rascassse corner and go to the restaurant there, the corner IS named that due to the restaurant and the place is a cathedral to Formula One)Have fun, kick butt and enjoy a once in a lifetime memory. And I want to see a photo with your Billy Bob smiles! Take lots of photos!

Only diluting the market as far as the other manufacturers now have more competition. I doubt Brad is pushing for a whole new TaG class, but rather for additional motor choices within our current structure. These motors will *probably* be TaGUSA approved in the next year or so, no harm in a few of us mountain region racers being at the vanguard and racing them. If they have a couple more horsepower than current comparable motors then we just start these motors at the back of the field or run them as unscored in the ‘official’ standings. No need to jump off into the rules ‘deep end’ and panic about weights or parity just yet.
*disclaimer* I am a closet 4-stroke fan. I cant WAIT to see these new motors and hear them run. I’m going out back to water and fertilize that money tree again.
