I dont know what it cost to build, afraid to add it up, but its fast! Th eboy bent the motor mount and shifted rt rear tire in a local parking lot. Giggled so bad I thought he would wet himself.

The boy got 3rd in the invatational, won $25, back in the car for more gears, this is getting more expensive than my latemodel, lol.

he needs to go lower in the turns.

 

[birddog1148]

That was his bro in the pics, his first time, they take turns, I tell them to go lower, but kids, whatcha gonna do, lol

You run dirt tracks with slicks? How does it hold on?

 

[kibble]

The slanted looking wheels in the pics makes it look really fast!

Cool! I have the same question Kenny does though. I would think slick would slide all over the place in that kind of track?

 

[2or3wheels]

look at the track, its packed gown like cement.

I was 4th in points in my late model and rookie of the yr for 2007. The slicks stick good on a good track. I have some issues with how I built the kart but will fix it this winter.

 

[Pa and Corby]

ever run that late model at Eldora ?

 

[birddog1148]

Just Midway Speedway in Crooksville oh

 

[kart_racer20]

the slicks that he has on there are a softer compound than pavement tires the softer compund give it more bite and it helps it to stick

 

[birddog1148]

now it just sits in the garage.

Got a new project
