You need some heel stops bolted to the floor so your heels aren't right up against the frame. My CRG came with them. Comet has plastic and aluminum ones in stock.

Didn't I include you in the mass email??? Yeah, August! We now have a track day every other month from April to October!!!! Its a Monday, Aug 26th. The price has gone up along with the lease. I just couldn't find more guys to keep it at the same price with the lease going up each time we go out there.

Yeah I know!!! BOOM!!!! The Rod and Springs must go too. Cheatin the valves and rockers is 60/40, we eventually ran the Ducar/Clone at the indoor Kart Joint and used the Honda bits to make um safe. Then, of course, all the other $hit parts became the weak link. IF I take it off I'll set the pedal stop at 4500RPM and he should be ok.

Good Advise. That back wall that the std door is on is not secure to the floor/concrete on the left side (hinge side). Not the full wall to the corner but at least the first foot or so. Opening it up may be a blessing!

We always run our kart in the middle setting on the rear axle. Car tracks are not always as even as kart tracks. Ours would rub all over the bottom with it low. Proceed with caution!
@F125yourself 3 ай бұрын
It was a road racing shop/info, that said I'm sure I'll have to make adjustments to it. When we get her on the floor and set-up the nerf/pod attitude we'll look at it and find a starting point. I know on our Laydown we want them UP or cassettes down. It adds Pitch to the chassis and helps the kart not just turn in well but transfer weight forward quicker under braking. But, in my limited time in these karts, you dont use a hell of a lot of brakes to get around a road racing circuit!!!!

Ernie, my Pop, Mark and I, using wooden matches to bet with.....

I'm welling up just reading this, I have forgotten so much about Mark and to have some of it come rushing back was unexpected and emotional. I remember speaking to Ernie and Paula at the Station, I planted their flowers a couple times in the spring. I told them about the afternoon at Grattan when I won my first race, how I thought I saw Mark in the clouds. I said "You probably think I'm crazy huh?" They both hugged me and said No, we know how close you were and how he would have enjoyed sharing your success. Mark started long before I did, he was well seasoned before I got my feet wet so he was a great help to me, just getting used to the things that are 2nd nature and now pay no attention to. After the race at Waterford he came over and said "You weren't even trying, you have to trust your gut and just go!" Later he said he was sorry for being so critical but I knew he just wanted me to get faster so one day WE could race each other, unfortunately that never happened. Mark enjoyed winning, was fiercely competitive and did a good amount of it! He also was compassionate and wanted his friends to do well by motivating them.
