Re: Leopard questions
With regard to the filter, I would at least keep one in my tool box. There is no doubt that the filter protects the engine, but its use is a matter of personal preference and track conditions. Some shops will tell you it has no affect on engine performance, so run the filter and protect your motor. ...

Re: Lets Race TAG
Hi Patrick, Your concern is the same as every other racer, when they first started. You must break the ice and get on the track for this concern to go away. Your first 3 races, by rule, will require you to start at the back. This gives you the opportunity to see how a race developes. As the race pro...

Re: Lets Race TAG
Hi Matt (could not resist adding my 2 cents) First let me say, we are always looking for new members (especially to race against) and no matter what kart you decide to put on the track, you are welcome. Next, put as much value in what I say as what you paid for it. Please be an informed participant ...

The barriers and fence have arrived. I plan to get everything to the track this week. Unfortunately my paid installation crew is not available until mid August.

What has hurt karting the most is the abundance of racing platforms, which splits classes and dilutes competition. Kart racing is expensive and chasing racing platforms in a quest for compet...
