Great advice, and Barry's is too. The basics to look for are what you would inspect on any machine: Signs of abuse or poor maintenance. Denting of the lower...
I have a line on a kart that I may be able to pick up for cheap (under $500). It's a PCR shifter chassis that I believe is from the late '90s or early '00s....
Don't do it. It will cost you a LOT in both money and aggrevation (trying to get the right parts) trying to get the roller up and running. A kart like that...
sounds like it will end up costing about $3k to get it running and more to make it competive. even a stock motor will need a motor mount $, a pipe $$.1/2$, a...
For $3k+ you could have gotten mine...tentatively it's sold right now. It's a good learner shifter w/a solid motor. -mike ... [Non-text portions of this...
Well, I went and bought a TaG kart with the intention of racing it locally. Once I learn to drive it I may trade up to a shifter, but for now it's TaG Masters...

The electric model works pretty well. The manual model will get the kart up, but there's some skill to it. One has to hook a webbed strap onto it and pull...
the kartlift is by far the lightest and most compact to store, but not inexpensive. There's a less expensive electric model at kartraiser.com that I've seen at...
Hi there. I've been nursing along a water leak on my 99 CR 125 for a few months now, and I'd like to fix it soon. The water is slowly dripping out of the drain...
No, no splitting the case. There are two seals, a water one and and oil one. The outer one is the water one and is easily replaced by removing the cover and...
Hey everyone!! you can add one more f125 convert to the list!!... over the weekend I picked up my new (to me) kart. It's a 2005 Vanspeed Sirio (CRG built with...
Rick Ruth released the new PAX index and F125 got bumped up to being faster than BM. Maybe on the new slippery asphalt at Nationals it is but otherwise I...
Actually it wasn't the largest bump, there were a few others that were larger. Also confused sounds offensive which I didn't intend, I just think it is...
http://scca-chicago.com/solo/indexes/rtp2007.html has more info. Rick looks at a lot of data. http://www.scca-milwaukee.org/Solo/2007/RTP06vs07.xls has some...
also Tommy Saunders' car spent most of the year in peaces being redesigend and he got DQ at the divisional when it came in 12lbs under, (they had just gotten...
We out ran BM last year on our dry day and that was a fast course. Plus they came up before nationals and bob and i both out ran tommy and stuart by a few...
Steve: I think that part of it could be the fact that more faster karts are coming into use. When this all started, engines were stock, chassis were old, and...
... Plus they came up before nationals and bob and i both out ran tommy and stuart by a few seconds. Being paxed faster then BM does not bother me at all the...
I guess we are moving up the food chain. We better start going faster. Here AMod come to daddy. LOL Russell B. ... Plus they came up before nationals and bob...
I just contacted Eric Gorr today and found out that he is not rebuilding bottom ends anymore. I know a few of you had one of his engines and they where great...

Get ahold of Dan Davis. He does a lot of road race stuff, and it is competitive nationally. Dan is very reasonably priced to boot. He is in Kansas City. ...
So have you digested the ProSolo letter from Howard Duncan yet? Sad day for ProSolo's...as we know them anyway! Understanding business and how MOST people view...
I had John Sefcik do a compleat work over of my motor just before nationals, bottom and top end, o-ringed the head and up the compression bluprinted the...
Biff, how's it going? Hope all is well. I haven't received said letter and can't find its contents on the web anywhere. Anyone care to recreate/scan it and...
