As your friendly neighborhood kart manufacturer, if you really need to spend that much, I just want you to know that I’m here to help you.
Do you guys have a punch card or anything, buy 14 karts, get one free? 😆
Whoa, 200k euros is $313,868.65. Can you imagine the season you would have if you spent that kinda cash!

If I could afford a sprinter, I’d get one. But alas my budget for the van is less than the kart. 😯
I know, I know, just that 5500 price tag looks pretty attractive and with the diesel the high miles aren’t as big a deal. Since we got one at work I have been in love with those things, good milage, lotsa space etc.
Lotsa miles, good solutions though…

Ken Wood had a great way of doing it. He has a small cable winch attached to one rear corner of the trailer and would lift it up off of the trailer with it. I was on a pivot so he would rotate off the trailer a place the kart either on the stand or on the ground. I thought it worked great.
That sounds very much like the one that I saw.
I was over at IMI one day and a guy had a hand crank winch on a little crane mounted to his trailer, he could winch the kart up swing it onto the trailer or vice versa… That was pretty slick!
I will probably race a few club races next year. More than likely I will be in Tag Senior, but I have to look into the rules to see where I fit in.
Wow, the eastern plains are getting all kinds of Tracks. Genoa has been working for a while and starts development soon. http://www.genoamotorsports.com/ I have talked to them several times. They are going to to do a Kart track when the main track is done.
I haven’t even heard about High Plains yet.. good stuff!

There are some technical articles on the Shockwave site that could be useful as well.
Thanks, I have been reading many of these articles and getting a taste of the chassis setup. I think to some extent I have to just test to feel the difference.
Any word on if you guys at shockwave are going to do another chassis setup Q&A?
I have been reading websites and writeups on chassis setup, but I haven’t found any real info on the front bar. Most of the sites discuss the back bar, track width front and rear, tire pressure etc, but leave out the front bar info.
I KNOW I am the slowest part of my kart and like you said, I am just now getting brave enough to change things around.
Thanks Kirk,
I was noticing that nobody that I have seen out at the track seems to have a front bar in either which seems like a hint. I have it out right now, maybe I will put it in for a few laps at IMI then take it out and see what I feel.Thanks again
