Yes, there will still be 2 kegs and pizza at the IMI meeting/party when we answer all of your questions and topics. Any other questions?
I talked with Marty Casey of TAGUSA about the Biland and Rotax weight changes and he states there was a mistake made on the web site and the weights have not changed from last year. He also said that he knows there will be a problem with the Motori head at high altitudes and they are working on a comprise so that it will not have too much of a power advantage.
The CSC uses TAGUSA weights for the different TAG engines. It does not matter what chassis brand you use for your TAG engines. Most karts are not like motorcycles that come with an engine included.
There was a problem with VP oil 3 or 4 years ago and it was only a small amount of one batch that was contaminated with motor oil in the bottling plant. They have corrected that one time problem years ago. RS-7 is a very high quality 2-cycle synthetic. It is not hard to find, we have it instock always.
Allowing open oil would require that each and every oil and fuel combination would have to be made into a sample to be able to calibrate the meter for each one. This is not practical as the meter must be recalibrated before testing each racer. If you opened the oil choices the tech for fuel would be very limited to what we could check for. There is nothing wrong with using either one of the two oils we spec. It is not the oil we are checking it is the illegal chemicals which could be added to the fuel which enhance performance.
$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?

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?
We have always let the TAGS use a remote starter for the CSC if necessary. The starter does not affect the performance. I think their rule change is long overdue.
The battery chargers for the transponders are all 12v, there is a 5v regulator in each transponder. You need at least 7 volts to make the transponders work if you connect the 9v battery to the charging poles on the case. I can buy a 9v 500mah Nimh battery for about $5 which can be charged in 2 hours 1000 times.
I have been experimenting today with adding a battery to the outside and it looks like it is going to work. I tried machining the old batteries out but it takes alot of time and you still have to buy 3 batteries to replace what they have in there, 3-1.5 volt nicads wired in series. I am going try to using a 9volt rechargable.
