    I sue the white spray lithium grease.

    Was the lithium lube really that bad?

    I like Tony’s helmet too. Wonder if those horns whistle though?

    Know what?

    Maybe it was Nkn. I’ll have to look when I get home. The Go Racing thing is cool though.

    Go Racing had a great article on safety gear a few months back. Not sure if back issues are available or not, but the magazine is now available on line.

    It’s really kind of cool to be able to read the magazine on line. Click the on the upper right part of the screen. It can be enlarged for us old guys to read.

    Rick, I was simply saying that other people can paint helmets.

    I am very very sorry to offend any one by making that bold statement.

    And Rick as for this “adolescent” stage I’m currentley in, I can only say I’m sorry that I am young.

    Once again sorry.

    It’s not that big of a deal Tony. We were all young once, enjoy it while you can.

    And yes anyone can paint helmets. And really no one is the BEST. I think what some of the racers lean towards is; supporting those who support your racing. Why not spend your money with someone who is putting back to you?

    Maybe Spike would like to help our series this year? There is still room to make what is going to be one of the best regional series even better.

    You think some of your comments are “bold” And you may be right. Some of them are so far out there that they are silly really.

    So just keep on keeping on Tony. We’ll fire one over the bow if you get out of line. :direct

    Tony,

    One can only hope you grow through his stage quickly.

    My Dad used to tell “if you don’t have something good to say, keep your mouth shut” I guess I didn’t always listen either and said things that made me sound like a weenie too.

    Not sure if you ever go back and reread some of your posts, I hope you do. That may help accelerate through this adolescence.

    I think Brad and Bobby (Imi) may have some too.

    Also, if you apply silicone to the wire leads at the brush, it will minimize this happening again.

    Pete Romenesko seems to know quite a bit about this facility. Where you at Pete?

    Racing at night would be cool. Bandimere at night was awesome.

    I hope Angie can keep this thing rocking too.

    The Csc website is more specific for the updates, results and current information for the new a$$ kicking Csc of which your a sponsor. Right?

    Certainly can’t hurt to get your driving school and trackside support in front of a larger potential customer base.

    I suppose if something were to happen to either site there we wouldn’t be left without a communication link.

    No harm, no foul as the saying goes. I’m not running the RMAX series this year. Just running The Track/IMI Club and possibly the CSC all in Tag Masters. Again, really I have no problem changing my number. I should have done some research on that before registering it.. I’ve run so many different numbers over the years, I’m sure there is one I will find that is out of the top 10 that is not taken. My numbers are not incorp’d in my graphics, so it’s an easy change.

    On the name of my business. After a good phone con with AJ this morning, we are changing our name to SoCo Kart Shop.

    Take care Bro!

    You’re a good man Eddy. Would defend your hard work the same if the shoe was on the other foot.

    Thanks Man,

    Rick

    I just checked my dealer lists and I have at least 4 dealers that have some version of kart works in their name. The other common one is Extreme.

    Alright, I know there are Kartwoks and Aj certainly wasn’t the first to use the name. I doubt they’re in the same market though.

    Anyway, I don’t want to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Just caught me and I made a comment. At least were getting some action on the forum.

    As far as numbers go, it’s always been proprietary to the previous years plate holders. Which seems fair. Other than having several sets of premade vinyl graphics kits made with numbers on them, it really doesn’t make that much difference. It will make it a little difficult to recognize racers who’ve had the same numbers for years and are having to change. But brain stimulation is good. Right?

    Kart works, kart zone, kart shop, etc. Didn’t think it a conflict. I believe most people will certainly know the difference between Rocky Mountain and Southern Colorado (SoCo), assuming what you are refering. Have had numerous healthy discussions with AJ over the last few weeks. Did not get the impression there was a problem with the name. It’s not Rocky Mountain Kart Works South.

    I’m just one guy trying to offer quality service in the southern Colorado karting community and make a buck. Helps support our race team. I have the greatest respect for all who have gone before. Maybe there’s room for our services in supporting the SoCo karters.

    See you at the races.

    Respectfully,
    Eddy

    Sorry Eddy,

    Didn’t talk to Aj before posting this, it was a little late when I noticed this and a little too early to call this a.m. whe he’s got a baby at home. If you’ve had healthy discussions with Aj about this, then my bad, hell for all I know you and Aj have partnered for a Kartworks South venture. Then the name would make sense to me. Just kind of hit me as, not right when I saw it.

    Anyway, know you’re a good man just trying to help racers and make a buck at the same time.

    But, how about using Kart Shop or Kart Zone?

    Respectfully,

    Rick

    I registered #6 in Tag Masters for the IMI/Track club series going through the normal process. Pre- registered a week in advance for the first race with Ed at The Track, was told that number was available. No big deal to me. If numbers are reserved or being assigned by the CSC, I’ll run any number not taken. 💡

    Hey Eddie,

    I don’t so much care about the numbers but, couldn’t you have come up with another name rather than using “Kart Works” in your racing business or series? An awful lot of us have worked for years here in Colorado to build that brand. Just noticed this after reading your post, I think you’re a good guy but seemed kinda wrong.

    Do you think if someone came up with “Shock Wave South” or you fill in the blank, it would raise some brows?

    I suppose it’s a free country and all, but it is a small close knit racing community.

    Rick
