Posted July 11, 200520 yr Moderator .....a Kick in the Pants to drive! ..... 90+hp....2-stroke 250 GP motors....good for a 140mph.....they run lap-times as fast as World SuperBikes do when they race @ Laguna. Not only did Eddie Lawson get inducted into the MotoGP Hall of Fame this last weekend .......he also took 3rd in the SuperKart race I heard he had steering probs in the 1st stages of the race ...or else he mighta won the thing!
July 12, 200520 yr Admin They are awesome them little carts, thinking of laguna was an excellent race and a good bit of overtaking at the beginning
July 21, 200520 yr When I was a kid (damned long time ago-44 years!) my mate and I raced a kart with a Victa lawnmower engine in it. 125cc and 3.5bhp when standard. We got it up to 17bhp at the back wheels (Of course, it was hideously unreliable, but it taught me a great deal). Driving the thing was a hoot too! Then I got into Villiers engined motorbikes. The development potential there was even higher, and they tended to hold together just a little longer. It seems too easy now. I hop on the RD or the XJ900 and there's all the speed I want. Are today's kids missing something? I think so!
