Here’s A Kartful. becoming involved in karting, five years ago, one of the main themes that has been repeated wherever we’ve gone is that karting is a great family sport. We couldn’t agree more. My kids are young adults now, but we still race together. For us, karting came along just at the right time, just when a father and daughter begin having fewer things in common.

However, the popularity of dry single disc clutches in the Can classes has probably tipped the reliability scale in favor of the pipe classes, (which for the most part still use multi-disc wet clutches). Let’s dispel another myth about pipe racing: You have a trailer full of pipes. Probably 80% or 90% of Yamaha pipe racers in the U.S. use an RLV pipe and header combination; retail price is under $150 for the set. The others are using custom pipes made by other local Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:09:58 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/2555451/YamahaPipeTuning http://www.scribd.com/doc/2555444/SignOfTimes The Rotax FR-125 Engine Looks To Fit The Needs Of Many By Dave Billingsley - Clements Racing IS IT A SIGN OF THE TIMES? Being a kart shop owner (Clements Racing), it’s important to always look and try to predict which direction karting, as a whole, is heading. In my examination, I’m starting to see a pattern emerging with some kart racers. More racers are migrating towards two things; 1) An affordable race package that doesn’t require massive amounts of maintenance, which most fragile race engines demand (if you want to keep in the front of the pack, that is), 2) A racing package that can gr Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:09:15 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/2555444/SignOfTimes http://www.scribd.com/doc/2555438/GranjaVianna500 Granja Viana 500 Kannan takes the win: 644 laps & 500 miles! 500 Miles to Glory: Brazil’s Granja Viana 500 to the Brazilian Formula 1 Grand Prix, it’s the biggest race in a country that’s mad about motorsports.

The subject was and continues to be hotly discussed and poorly understood. I have always been a believer that innovation is good for the sport if it meets two criteria; (1) lower the cost of competing, (2) improve safety.
