DO NOT GET ME STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best damn handleing kart i have ever driven, hands down, no questions asked, it is so fluidly smooth, and so fast, and the brakes are so powerfull, always handles good, i have been to 4 tracks with it, and have had to do little to anything to make it handle awesome. It has wonderfull support from Intrepids largest dealer, Champion RAcing in norman OK, and Bill is now selling them (bill noud) It is easilly one of the beset looking karts there is, and the quality and craftsmanship are something that you have to see to belive. The machined components are superb, as is the entire setup. Its wonderfull, contact me with any specific questions.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,
This is the moment we have all been waiting for
Many thanks to Jim, and many accords to him also
Thanks 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀Mine will be the same as last year, 87, since i will not be able to use the #1 plates from last year. Ill just have to try my hardest to win it this year
When are final decisions going to be made regarding weights and tires, i would like to know where to be practicing my karts at.
Understandable however
The sealing thing goes beyond just changing pistons, it prevents the reed cage and reed changing, which can be a pain if your reeds breake and you dont need a piston, and plan on RMC so you have to send it back. If you have a rotax and do not plan on racing RMC, w/o a seal, you are subject to teardown if there is a susspiction that you are cheating, without the seal, it can be a hassle. In RMC, you can only change the jets, not the emmulstion tubes, needles, piolts, etc. In Tag, jetting is open, with a rotax, you have to clean the powervalve often, and other things. The seal fee is $250 if you decide to put a seal back on for RMC, and things like that
Not anti rotax, but i would like potential buyers to know the good points about a leopard. Either motor is good, and your choice is good. RMC is one of the best series internationally, but outhere, TAG is much stronger, whearas in South Africa, it is primally rotax run exclusivly and they have won the WC for the last 3 years, so that is their thing, but in CO, the TaG concept of motors seems to be the way to go.
sorry, missunderstod
Ya, mitch drove like hell at the first state race at AK. Kicked everyones ass, i remember talking to him about it that afternoon before, it had never been started, 24 hours later, he had one by a long shot
Good job
Denny, do not forget who you were behind in GJ the second time, a leopard won the overall race with 2 bilands right behind me. Mitch was on a leopard, and Greg was on a leopard as well. The second time at AK, 1/2 overall were leopards, followed by a biland, and mike jansan if memory serves correctly. A leopard qualified at 40.5 at steamboat (spilt classes) i forgot Jays qual time, but i think it was .5 slower. Don’t doubt the leopard, it is as equal or better in some situations then a biland, sonik, or rotax. But in other cases, it is behind those motors.
Leopard highlights
2nd, 8th, 10th in las vegas
Masters win in las vegas
Masters win in RIGP
4th in SR in RIGP (you tell me if it was a leopard)
and a few othersRotax his its share of tag accomplishes, and so does biland and sonik. not tryin to stir anything up, but the leopard is just as good if not better then anything else out there
My opinion
LeopardCan do own maintaince.
National Array of dealers and parts
Cheaper then Rotax
More of a useable powerband
No rev limiter (great as long as common sense is used)
No need to buy 300 bucks worth of dellorto jets, can be tuned on the go
no seal
tunable exhaust (rotax has this too, but no maintance for the flex pipe)
charges itself (no need for 4 batteries, and no chargin between heats)
good radiator, external water pump, great becase its not apart of the motor
Great torque for a two stroke,Each motor is weighted differant becuase the weights are an attempt to equal the motors based on tested HP
let me know any other questionsstacey, if you can get together a rep from each motor, i will represent the parilla, you have the rotax and the ROC, we just need a sonik, jim keesling could do that, a biland, plenty out there, any others that need to represent a tag.
if you can get a true mass of people out of this, i will see if we can go
