At your place ? Or where ?

[Zev]

Chaz is now being hired by Avalon Motorsports as our in house/on the road Manager of Entertainment

[Zev]

TAG/SKUSA rules (as I understood it). Leopards are welcome but Rotax gets double the pleasure with their RMC races same day.

[Zev]

I work about three minutes away from your location !!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm..I wonder how long I’ll be able to extend my lunch hour when the track is done ?

I want to let the Colorado karting community know that we are moving forward with The Track at Centennial. 😀 Every day last fall when I saw a fellow karter, they would ask “What’s up with the track?” 🙄
Now is the time to let you know. The name of the complex is “The Track at Centennial.” Our web site is http://www.thetrack.us
I will keep it updated with the progress of the project. You will be able to find a description under The Track at Centennial link.
We are excited about the new project and can’t wait for the future of karting in Colorado. “See you at The Track!!!”

I guess I’ll keep (21) , the number that is coming on the Track Dragon that I will be receiving Friday.

If this is true (no management of numbers on karts) that does not make me hopeful about management of the races 🙁

Boy that’s a tough one.

Keep in mind that I have no official capacity here.

I would say first come/first served/per class. That would give Jansen first rights to the number as that’s what he ran in class last year. That seems the fairest. But that’s just me.

The CSC and local kart racing in general hasn’t had any mechanism to prevent number dups for as long as I’ve been involved. It’s a drag, because it causes no end of hassles for timing/scoring. Promoters don’t seem to give a damn. Ask anyone connected with scoring of races. Having more than one of any number on the track is a real drag. Especially if you have to manually score the race.

Most of the time people don’t really give a damn about how much trouble the officials are having or have to go through. Especially in the case of numbers and if there’s suddenly any confusion of what number got what. IOW, it’s not really a problem until the racers say so (and some of them actually don’t know why we have problems getting officials and keeping them).

The short answer is, Mike, use whatever number you want. There “could” be 3, or 4, or even 10 “27d” or “27” in the class and nobody will really care.

Chaz, you seem to know more than the average bear:

What I want to know is this: Jack Warrington and I were both 27d last year and I know he took #1 in shifter class last year (novice i think?) so who wins number rights 😀 😀 🙂 🙁 😮 😥 👿

Does anyone know how to contact hi flyer Wrong Way Warrington?

#27 because that’s Gilles Villenueve’s number, the best F1 driver I ever saw (see qualifying in Monaco late 70’s. Over 2 seconds quicker than the field) 😮

[Zev]

the way it is !! Does anyone have a link to where I can check for sure ?

[Zev]

the Rotax contingent please !!

BTW..it looks like I am in luck…the friend selling me the kart from Indy is most likely able to sell the KT100 motor,motormount and new clutch to someone local. That leaves me with the killer Trackmagic chassis and Brembos for closer to $1000 😮

My opinion
Leopard

Can 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 questions

[Zev]

I will talk to those guys for sure !

Zev,

Go out to IMI or Action and talk with Bobby/Brad or JB respectively and talk costs with them. They will give you a great snapshot of the kart racing in this area.

No KT100 class here.

Welcome aboard and go Tag!

[Zev]

killer chassis and a good motor that I can sell off to lower the cost of entry into the TAG class.

I bought the kart from my friend who was Memo Gidley’s rommate. THe kart was a Trackmagic kart from Memo. I don’t see how I wasted any money looking at the overall picture ????

Thanks for your input.

[Zev]

“gang” thing to put fear into the experienced drivers here 😆 . I don’t think Jason or Brad will be able to resist the pull much longer 🙂

Thanks for the tip on the trailer. Which one did you get ? Also which motor did you end up getting on the kart ?

Hey…. look who it is. 😯

Glad you found this website, I was going to email you a link to it.

I dont believe there are any KT-100 clases here, so you are going to want to change the motor. I’d probabily go to TaG, so you can go to any of the motors that are legal for that class. Rotax and Leopard are the most common it seems.

I just got my kart today, so I’m down to go out and practice whenever you are ready. ❗

You should check out Harbor Freight for some cheap 4×8 trailers.

BTW, everyone watch out if this guy is behind you on a straight…. he just might plow you off the course. 😯 Ask me how I know. 😆
