Doug, you are right about ONE thing, the added weight will give you back pain. As far as all that other stuff, every kart manufacture I spoke with will disagree with you. Anyway, you had alot of good looking stuff at the kart expo and all at a great price, hope you do great this year.

Doug W, there is alot of people that would disagree with you about adding that much weight. If you remember last summer when the little 9 year old kid was killed in the JR1 class in California they came to the conclusion that the the cause of death was in direct relation to the weight that was bolted on the kart which crushed the child.

SKUSA Rules Update ? TAG Classes
SKUSA has now added the Vortex Rok to the list of TAG engines allowed in both regional and PMT competition and weights for all Masters chasses have been adjusted due to an overwhelming response by the industry on this matter. All Masters engines now have a 30 pound increase to their senior class counterparts versus the previous difference between the two.
In addition, there has been a clarification on the type of Italsistem engines allowed, digital or analog ignitions The analog ignition option is offered only for the Senior class and the digital offered for the Masters.
The current class weights are as follows as changed to section 40.1 of the SKUSA Regulations and Tech material. No word has been received yet as to whether TAG is making the increases in weight to their Masters class listing as of today; however we should receive word of confirmation soon.

TAG USA ? Rules Update
Weights adjusted in Masters class, Italsistem clarifications
TAG USA announces two rules changes important to TAG. After recently completing tests on nine engines for the 2004 TAG classes, TAG USA and SKUSA TAG officials have diligently been preparing the 2004 rules package for these exciting new classes.
First, there has been a clarification on the type of Italsistem motor allowed for the 2004 season. The Italsistem Senior class package will utilize an analog ignition and the Masters package will utilize a digital ignition.
Secondly, the minimum weights have been adjusted in the TAG Masters class. This was due to an overwhelming response by the industry on this matter. After much discussion, all Masters weights are now 30 pounds more than the weight for TAG Senior class. These changes make both TAG USA and SKUSA rules the same.
Listed below are the current weights for all classes with each engine approved thus far:
