yes
 

i raced super one in the late 80's and early 90's and competed in the last 3 british endurance kart championships(when they were 2 stroke), i also did cadet instruction and ran my own karting company GPR Karting, gave it all up last back end of last year and bought a cossie, as my knees, back and kneck can no longer take the kind of punishment karting gives you!!!!


pugo :top:

used to race tkm 100cc till i had a big roll at 50mph hurt like fuck that lark :cry: :cry:

tkm was too slow though,shit tyres and slow engine :blabla:

i fucking LOVE go karting.. im fairly reasonable at it too which helps.. although i havent had any major race experience, ive driven pro-karts in cyprus and after 40 mins :cry: i only got lapped once (i spun out in to a gravel bed :cry: ) by the current cyprus champion bloke..

Cabrio,

The difference between a Pro-Kart, and one like Pops and I have is comparable to the difference between a standard RS Turbo, and a 500bhp cossie.

Race engines actually rev too! 19,000 rpm :top:

Ok.. the one i went in felt fast as fuck though :cry: suppose its like driving an RST after driving a 1.0 micra :cry:
The fucker had what looked like a bike engine.. and rad and some fucking monsterous exhaust that was noisey as you like :cry: it was actually quite refreshing not to be able to take a corner at FULL speed unlike you can with the shitty 'hire' karts over here! :top:
PON how quick is your race-kart.. 0-60 or whatever and what do they top out at.. just curious!

Totally depends how you gear them, as you have a 9 or 10 tooth gear on the engine, and anywhere between 80 and 100+ teeth on the axle.

Can be geared for 2 second to 60 from a rolling start (some don't have clutch ability), or can be geared for 110 mph +

have fun mercury :top:
i had a few trips to germany and all my racing paid through the raf while i was at saints.......was great while it lasted :top: pity i had to get posted :wall:

when were you at saints mercury?.......did you get involved with the kart club there?

was there 2 years ago, as i was doing my training there :oops: , only there for 8 months too, didnt get involved as i went home to much, You?

was there mate from 97 to 2002.......used to have a great kart club there with loads of perks like germany trips and little rissington etc, it also paid for my racing for the yr and kart parts :top: .......closed in the end as no 1 wanted the hassle of running it when the civvies took over and the raf guys got posted :wall:
