tkm81 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Cheers...

I wasn't intending to race the thing once its finished, as i don't really fancy 1500Bhp per tonne with other karts around me. I am going purely for speed, how quickly it goes through the gears doesn't bother me. The chassis will be very long probabley an extra half meter on an existing anderson 250 chassis for example, but i am thinking the same width as a current 250 just to keep some sort of flex in the chassis for some basic cornering. Weight distribution is the main problem, obvisouly as you increase the cc of the engine the heavier it is and the harder it will be to keep it in a straight line! can anyone suggest a powerful V-twin engine? preferably one with alot of BHP and a reputaion for reliablity? is the Aprila RSV 1000 a v-twin?
