You should contact them! I googled them last year and invited the promoter to the forum and to promote the event here. But it is like 2 months still!

I saw a couple of trikes, maybe build yours with the rear wheels together, thatd make a fun mini bike Im sure! Mud ahoy!
Tomorrow is build day!
We are basically copying our rig from last year, so the build should go a lot quicker. The wheels are NOT going to fall off this year, so we may have a shot at it.
I also took almost all the play out of the steering. Last year the drivers were complaining that they couldn't feel their fingers anymore due to the vibrations. We also have 3 light weight drivers this year, so I am optimistic!!

Well we came in 10th. The track was a muddy one this year
We had a front wheel problem due to a kingpin bolt coming loose. Then a few laps later the wheel came off because the bearings were damaged. The team next to us was nice enough to lend us a wheel and tire which we replaced as soon as we could get one assembled from the parts store. Then the same tire went flat and we had to break the bead and replace the valve stem. We also had some issues with the motor dying due to a kill switch issue
?? And the front bumper fell off when the lead team only needed two more laps, so we quit. First pic is our last years kart and this years, last pic is our karts and our fellow workers team's kart. They came in 11th.
