    The track can be brutal on front tires if you have any push in the kart. The surface is a bit coarse.

    Ain’t got time for this nonsense. 80 shifters best class ever. Thinking about racing an LO206.

    The K60 was great fun and one of the cheapest karts we ever raced.

    Less is more, always has been. The CSC was huge in the the early 2000’s because we had fewer races. There were not 20 races total in the state in the season. There were three tracks, IMI, Bandi and GJ. (The Track did not exist yet). We did one race at each and a final in Steamboat. Each track did a club series but they were very short and limited.

    The average racer has at most the funds and time to do 10 races in a season. With an average cost of $300 per race for a low budget effort, that’s $3,000 not including kart or possible damage. Add in testing, that number rises very quickly and will price most racers out of action.

    The bottom line is very simple, if you want bigger races, you need fewer races. Multiple series organizers each wanted to run a complete season, will fail. No one will get the critical mass necessary to make the event profitable.

    Greg, you really need to get out one of your tags and go at it.

    Been there, done that, about 10 years ago. What is the definition of insanity again?

    Useless trivia questions.

    How many kids from Colorado have stood on the top rung of the podium at the SuperNats?

    Can you name them?

    The “new” style air box filter is exactly the same shape as the old style. The difference is the height location of the filter portion. The “new” style fits in the chassis differently and allows more clearance. That said, you can bend the air box bracket and rotate the boot to angle the air box towards the right side of the kart to give more room for the seat. I have been able to get a XXXL seat in the kart and still get the air box to clear.

    Put the stock air box back on. The motor needs the back pressure created by it.

    An ’04 Birel with a CR250, sounds like one of “lumberjack’s” karts.
