In a sealed drum, id imagine that it would keep for quite a while (like, a really long while). Nothing to ad impurities and no exposure to atmosphere. When i’m storing fuel for an extended period of time (because i didnt burn it up at the track 😯 ), i put some StaBil in it, and that works great! Kart fires up right away and runs fine. 8)
Ooh, yeah, Tom brings up a good point. I’d imagine that the ability to trail brake would lend itself better to the Rotax’s powerband (able to keep the revs up). Course i’ve never driven a Rotax with FWB, but it makes some sense to me….
While i love the challenge that having rear brakes only provides, and the fun driving style that it offers (being able to rotate the kart with a stab of the pedal 8) ), it’s hard to argue against the safety benefits that FWB offer. I had my brakes fail once when i was practicing at Bandi a year ago at widowmaker (thankfully i just spun off into the dirt), and very nearly at the GGP (leaking caliper). Both were pretty scary! 😯
I wouldnt argue against FWB in TaG, for sure. If we do allow it, i’d have to scrape up a couple hundred extra, but that’s not a huge deal if it helps me avoid a much larger hospital bill!
Oh, and if anyone wants a convincing reason to keep Rear brakes only, i offer this link: http://www.karting1.co.uk/karting-lockups.htm 8)

Here is the questions I have:
1) Why did the Rotax weight get increased 10lbs and the Leopard weight stay the same? The leopard was either superior or even at all tracks
Yeah, what gives?! I certainly don’t like that… 😕
Thanks for the heads up, Charles! Its great to see more and more Karting on TV. 8)
Phenomenal end to that Cadet race, too…wow! 😯
Oh wow, Jim, you are the man! :cheers:
Got the official announcement in my email not a minute after i read this. Now i really have to join RMax for ’07! :sun:
It will be held August 12-18th.
Well, well, well, we meet again, Graeme. Nice to see another Porsche Club guy step over to the dark side. As you’ve probably discovered by now, these karts are a bit quicker ’round the bends than your Boxster. 8)
Glad to see you made the jump! Now, what kind of kart/engine did you buy yourself? Lookin’ forward to seeing you at the track! :cheers:

Never been to CRE, always wanted to go, heard good things about the track. Personally, i’d love to race there. I thoroughly enjoyed the GGP, it was a great event, and I really like the idea of a temp track to sort of highlight the season (sort of like our own Long Beach GP, right?). But, I’d agree that the CSC needs to go to CRE more than a temp track.
What about rotating in a temp event every other year, or something like that? Just a thought…
Excellent article, and on the SpeedTv.com homepage, too! Just the kind of exposure that karting needs in the US. 😀
