Those tags are 125cc and depending on the make can be around 29hp. That should absolutely toast you. He has a way to go!

Oh man the karting was fun today...
I went yesterday but it was way to wet for my novice abilities...
Today it started a little wet, but improved through the day... I could instantly tell it was improving my driving skills.
I would get the kart up to top speed, slap the break, turn into the corner and the front tires wouldn't respond and counter-intuitively I would hit the gas and the kart would bite and turn through the corner...
It was definitely something you had to get used to... I really was wanting to practice some late mini lock-up breaking and it was a perfect opportunity...
Fun day...

Thank you for asking! I just almost got everything complete with the new engine today. I gave it two break-ins and change the oil to a regular oil and ready for some slow track time another oil change and then I can get crazy. New world formula engine with electric start and a hidden ion lithium battery under the front cowl..
Start/stop buttons on the steering wheel.. new rims tires sprockets chain motor mount clutch exhaust fuel lines The works... Totally stripped it down to the frame and cleaned everything up... Got a new membership at the track for this year...

2021 racing schedule for Kart Track at Santa Maria Raceway via the facebeak page.
Local alarm contractor has rented the track on these dates and is running the show.
I have no idea what sort of classes Ron has in mind nor the specs they must follow.
Modern liability issues lead me to believe that K&K Insurance or similar entity will be part of the entry fees.
The trip across the valley this morning did reveal the track is prepped for activity.

Then I took it out Friday before last and was doing even better yet until I slid sideways into the wall coming out of the last turn into this long straightaway... I folded the right side pod into my engine and into my seat.. I did some kind of serious damage to my ribs on the right side a couple weeks ago... I'm only about half recovered right now... It would probably surprise people to know that on my dream truck thread...
I still haven't figured out how the cart propels your big lug *** very fast around the track. lol
It does look like fun.
what will jpar get into next ?

Get well soon. Out there in the marbles do get kinda hairy. It made me appreciate sweeping that part of the track on race day that much more. Likin' that WF are ya? I have one used in the parts stash. Got it to keep up with my competitors in our "modified" class most of which were WFs. My hot rod Greyhound/HF clone kept up just fine so I never toyed with it.

Done it, had a 125 cc Kawasaki cart back when I was 15 & some fuckin tweakers stole it from me. That was the last time I was gullible ! Luckily, I didn't have my 8mm mauser yet to go put holes in them sumbitch'n dudes.

I think the best use for one of those is to throw over the side of your boat on the end of a rope to keep it from drifting in a fast current LOL...
That or figure out how to make a riding lawn splitter.
Oh ****. I feel a future thread coming on
Cool **** you did with your /6
