]with a 300 lb. race weight [including driver], along with 11" worth of slick racing rubber up front, and 15" worth in the rear. I figure if I move on to another racing series, I may as well move UP in performance, speed, braking wise at least. Still kind hard to beat 1.1 lateral G's a kart can make.

Right now all three karts are down to have the engine's freshened up and updated [should be able to move up to around 25 or so HP
], and converted to axle clutches [more consistant, less maintainence, more positive engagement, just... better]. And between the 3 karts, we really only have 1 complete set of tires that isn't showing cords, which is why we haven't been racing for a season or two. Race slicks for karts are almost as much as R-tires for cars

The kid wasn't cocky or anything, after I pulled him, he figured I'd get him off the line too, but again, the carbs weren't quite right, and I bogged it off the line. Oh well, can't win them all.

As for the drive... we tend to be pretty open about giving test drives, but we don't travel for them, heh.

Heh, the karts are in Hampton, it's not really on the way to Maryland from Georgia, but you'd be welcome to stop by.
