Gunter, we have always had karts available for anyone who wants to test. If you want to test a Sodi, give us a call.
At the last club race of the season at TTAC, it was a Sodi kart on pole both days in Tag SR. At the Pepsi center race in Tag Sr, the fastest lap of the day went to a Sodi. At both races, there was only one Sodi kart in the field.
Let me ask a simple question, you want to follow the field or lead it?

Any actual supporting data anywhere?
There is no independent data regarding the effectiveness of a neck brace/collar as it relates to karting. (Cars is a different matter.) In Europe, they are not required and very few are in use. To my knowledge, there is no difference in neck injuries between the US and the rest of the world.
This is a smok’en deal for a new racer. It includes everything, suit, helmet, trailer, gas can, spare wheels and tires.
The kart has very little use, barely broken in. Older driver bought all new stuff and decided he didn’t like it. This deal is less than $.40 on the dollar of original price.
Taybor, #55, was an integral part of the Shockwave family of karters. I do know she loved to drive her kart. So much, she often would just sit in the kart in the pit while Ian worked on it. She gave us all hugs when she arrived and left. We will miss her bright smile.
To Jason and Tracey, I am at a loss for words. We all here loved her. Her passing has left a big hole in our hearts. Jill, Jeff, Greg and myself stand ready to help in any way we can.
Here is what’s left now that the water has gone. The track and all the buildings, everything but the timing and scoring tower is gone. At this point, there are no plans to rebuild.
It id rain last night but didn’t affect the track a bit. It continued to build grip all day. We started in 9 in heat race #2 but about lap two, the group we were in decided to get stupid and Greg got hit hard in the rear and turned around where a kid then ran over the front. With a totally screwed up front end, Greg rejoined and drove hard to get back in it to finish 14th.
In heat race #3, Greg started well and was up a couple of spots but we really didn’t find all the bent stuff and he started to fall back as the kart just wouldn’t turn right. He finished 14th again.
Greg will start the pre-final in 22, right where all the wrecks happen.
Grant had a very tough day. He was wrecked out of the LCQ and never made it to the start/finish line. His racing is done.
Tabor is going strong and getting faster every time out. She starts 22.
Ben and Saber had a tough day. Both got caught up in wrecks and will start the pre-final in the back.
We qualified 18 overall so we started the first heat race in tenth. We held our position and finished in 10th. Everybody slowed as it got really hot. Most were over stuck as the track got uber sticky. For some, the track was slippery as the heat made the rubber go to goo. Some thermometers were over 100!
We are going to test some ideas in the morning during the warm up. We’ll see if it works.
There is a live internet radio feed some where.
That’s great, I’m sure they will do a good job.
Another race will be on internet TV. This one, the Rotax Grands Don’t have the details but a little searching should find it.
Hi guys
There were four official practices today. We didn’t wear our transponder for the first two. We made some changes for the third that made the kart a bit loose and we slowed down 4-5 ths. We then over compensated for the final practice session and ran decent but not what we could. We think we have found a happy medium now and should be good for qualifying tomorrow.
Grant Copple is in our tent and he has been struggling. Tabor Duncan has been improving steadily but for this being her first big deal event, she is doing very well.
I do not know how the others from Colorado are doing except to see them on the lap charts. We have just been too busy to socialize.
This event is big, very big. All the major teams are here. MRP (Birel) has a large presence, as does CRG (SSC East and West), Tony Kart, Merlin, Kartel, Intrepid, Sodi, name your brand, all the major brands have their team trucks here. Attendance is up this year over last.
Good luck to everyone. We won’t be there as we will be in New Castle preparing for the Rotax Grand Nationals. Wish we could.
