Hi,
The Snap-On Grand Prix from New Castle will be on SpeedTV on Saturday at 5 PM.
http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto/karting/34550/Charles
Thanks for the heads up, Charles! Its great to see more and more Karting on TV. 8)
Phenomenal end to that Cadet race, too…wow! 😯
If your DVR randomly decided not to record the show, as mine did (:cry:), it re-airs at 09:00 MST Sunday. Phew.
The outside pole sitter was Nick Neri in one of our karts. I did not see the end as the wife called us for diner. But I tell people over and over, K80 racing can be the best racing on the planet. It is by far the best racing Stars has to offer and it is some of the best racing I’ve ever seen. The motors are so even that it really comes down to driver.
After watching racing like that, how can anyone trash the K80? I know for a fact what Nick’s motors are, how much they paid and how often they maintain them.
And it ain’t $4,000 like some will claim you have to spend.
NO HONDAS ! It is amazing that the rest of the country can get it right but this island that is Colorado karting does not want to play with anyone else.

Your words are spoken from the heart by the true sportsman we all know you are not!
This from the Comerjet web site who supplies some of the national Comer 50cc and 80cc engines for racers who get “much satisfaction”about winning because their engines pass tech and they walk away from the other legal engines: http://www.comerjet.com
Welcome to Kid Kart Racing and Comer C50 Tips Central – ComerJet, the place for legal information on the Comer C50 engine, Kid Kart racing and Jr 1 K80 racing. This is the leading place where Kid Kart parents and drivers go to learn about the Comer C50 Kid Kart racing motors and karts. At many national and international races our Kid Kart drivers and Comer C50 engines and Tornado Chassis dominate the top five positions. We can help you set up your kart or engine for peak performance the legal way.
After seven years of testing and sorting Comer C50 and C51 engines we have come up with a formula for finding the best motors and preparing them for race day. The methods used are legal for IKF, Stars, WKA and most other groups. It is a combination of several small details and searching for the motors with the best potential. No two motors are the same. Two motors can be only ten serial numbers apart yet .3 horsepower different.
We offer three levels of motors currently in both C50/C51 and K80. The first level is a standard C50 prepared to run fast. It could be newer or only slightly used. The second is an engine that has shown good signs in testing or at the track and is reformatted to run fast. The last is an engine that either has won regionally or nationally or has the head casting traits that make it a winner.
Our motors are not highly machined motors. They are an investment because they are hard to find and time consuming to test, but because they are gifted and set up correctly you are passing people on the track legally. There is much satisfaction in a win where you pass everyone and get checked thoroughly in tech. When you are declared the winner in tech and everyone walks away scratching their heads that’s very satisfying because you and your driver did it within the rules.
If you think the Comer engines are the answer then you and the rest of the country have their head in the clouds. This is what the Comer 50cc & 80cc engines are really about. All about cheating legally, feels good to win that way Jay?
ComerJet.com should be banned from karting IMHO. They feed on the “Motor is the reason you win” mentality.
K80 engines can be had from several sources for less than $1,500 blueprinted and brand new that will and can run in the front of a Stars cadet race.
$1500 for a $750 engine package just to make it competitive is still a joke. Doug, how do you know so much about Micheal Mays private life?
I can’t argue with you that $1,500 is a bit steep when compared to the Honda package you are offering. If they are indeed as equal as you claim, that may be a good deal for our customers. I am just pointing out that the K80 is not near as bad as some would make it out to be and it does give very good racing. As we saw from the TV of the Stars New Castle race.

Comer C50 Standard Rebuild $650 plus any major parts. We’ll disassemble the engine and set it up the way we like it. We’ll remove carbon where we like to and leave it in other places. The process usually takes four to ten hours.
Full Inspection and Rebuild $980 – We’ll take apart the entire engine and check for non standard parts or illegal machining of parts that could get you disqualified. We’ll inform you of the status and rebuild the engine.
$980 for a C50 inspection and rebuild 😯
Ahhh Lemmings, you have to love them….
Adolf Hitler said Facism was a good thing and plenty of people followed.Now we’re at a crossroads where a viable solution is being offered and yet we still whine. Why, because some people know of a Comer website that helps us push the envelope? Great if you know if sucks if you don’t.
Your kid wins and thinks it’s himself (and so do the parents) and sucks when he or she gets their butt handed to them in a higher competition (national level). And this teaches future talent what exactly, delusions of grandeur???? :idn:Seal it, claim it, monitor it and be done with it.
Or are we going to hear whining all season long because “x” kid is running away from competition? I would have loved to have been in Germany in the late 80’s. Michael Schumacher’s family couldn’t afford new equipment, nor for him to make a banzai move and break things. He learned how to DRIVE. There’s a lesson in there for the lemmings, if they want to open their eyes… 😯
