Class:Rotax light

Chassis:CRG maximo

Championship:Wollongong Kart Racing Club

opinions:If i could race everyday i would but then go broke.

I admire a driver in my class because of his raw speed and his ability to setup a kart.His speed is so impressive that it almost rivals the times ICC karts do.Very impressive.

Amonfan · 23 Sep 2004, 07:07 (Ref:1104626)

Whats your class? Rotax 125 Pro, Light if i race away from my club

Chassis? Ex Simon Leech Arrow AX8

Opinions? Well i have been away from Sprint karting for 9 years, lol, but i must say i am enjoying the return, and 4th on debut in a feild of 13 was encouraging

.

I am not sure what it was like there back in 92 but i think since then they have added 2 corners around where the club house is, and yes it is good track that produces some exciting races.

speedy king · 23 Sep 2004, 16:04 (Ref:1105097)

Class: Junior Rotax Max
Chassis: 2001 Gillard, it's an old nail but it keeps going
Championship: BDKC and HKRC
Opinions: Great fun, obviously! Driving standars are a little dodgy at times compared to other formulas

When i started out in karting there were two people in my championship who i really had a great deal of respect for. One, Matt Skilton just for his sheer pace and determination, un-believably quick and left the field standing at times. The second, more for race craft than anything Reece Broady, sitting behind him on the track or watching him as a spectator you could see wherever he started on the grid he gave it a full 110% effort and pulled off some very hard moves which is what i noticed. Not at all afraid to get a bit of contact in though was always a fair racer.

Superliner II · 24 Sep 2004, 23:29 (Ref:1106358)

Rotax Max/ 100 National

02 Maranello

selected rounds of Llandow club champs IE: I'm broke and race when I can

Love the rush

I admire a few different drivers. One that sticks in my mind is Jason Bird who I raced against at Shenny last year. Nice guy off track. Hard racer on.

Good luck Luke on your last round

hope you can win the championship

I am also 3rd in the championship at wollongong in my first year in Rotax light

David

luke · 30 Sep 2004, 12:22 (Ref:1111188)

Thanks David but if you look at the standings if you win a weekend you get about 140 points unfortunately the gap is to big infact the gap is so big my 3rd looks good for me and there is only 40 points.Plus it's the best of 7 rounds out of 8 so the postions should stand.

I'm on the verge of being in the Junior Heavys next year.
It's such a handy cap racing in the Lights there are 2 german drivers who are half the size of me and they are only competitive because of there weight.
I can't wait to move up because I have to go flat out all the time even esses type of corners beacuse when someone passes me it's userly on the straight.

Experience dosn't mean anything......
And talent.

speedy king · 31 Jan 2005, 17:01 (Ref:1213905)

Just thought i'd bring this back up again for anyone who's new and hadn't seen it, also if anyone has changed classes etc. this year

#15 tkm 4/ · 31 Jan 2005, 17:22 (Ref:1213919)

Well we have kinda changed (but only chassi's)

Snr Tkm 4 Stroke

Chassi's: 2005x 2 Radier S4

TKM 4 Stroke Super 1

Great fun and really competitive and because im number 3 it will be tough to improve but we will aim for #1!

Russell B. · 10 Jul 2007, 19:48 (Ref:1960027)

Whats your class? Senior Rotax Max and Honda Prokart
Chassis? BRM / Wright (Rotax) and Wright / 7Kart (Prokart)
Championship? MSA sprints in Kent & Open endurance kart championship (Rotax), EKC southern endurance kart championship (Prokart)
Opinions? With so much money evident in motorsport why can't some of it be spent on circuit facilities to give us more venues like PFi and raise the profile of the sport!

speedy king · 31 Jan 2005, 18:05 (Ref:1213955)

Class: Senior Rotax Max
Chassis: 2004 Trulli JT3

BDKC, some TVKC and Kartmasters

Looking really at running up near the front, where we were in Juniors and hopefully take a few wins and be somewhere in the top 6 at the end of the year, could go either way though as my first race isn't until the 28th of Feb so am only going by last years pace +8hp and testing times

anamas · 7 Feb 2005, 12:47 (Ref:1219342)

Unfortunately for me racing is too expensive.
I have a Rotax max senior in an Mba chassis and I practice as many times as I can during a month.Not more than 2 or 3.
I love driving for "hours".I only want to get out just for refilling

and then back again.Here in Athens (Greece) we have one really good race track.The rest are small,but I do not mind ..............if there is for karting everything will do

Welsh Karter · 26 May 2005, 08:52 (Ref:1310498)

Class: Senior Lawnmower, i mean ProKart
Chassis: Stratos Clubman - 95 vintage and still going strong
Club: Llandow, 2004 O Plate, 2004 Le Mans 24 Hours (prokart race of course)
Opinions: By the looks of things 10/10ths needs to sponsor a kart team at Llandow

There's quite a few and they're doing well nationally. Have finally got mine set up right and am really pleased with how it handles. Their part of the Tony Kart brand along with Kosmic and Redspeed so have all the same parts and build quality. Certainly some of the best for Max and other classes too

Maxkarter · 7 Jun 2005, 17:49 (Ref:1322537)

Firstly i'm new here, so HI!

Class: Junior Max
Chassis: Tony Kart Krypton 2004
Championship: South African Rotax Max Challenge, Bloemfontein Kart Club, regional and club events, Engen Supa Karts National Championship.

Opinion: Competition is really tough.

jjordan · 21 Jun 2005, 21:15 (Ref:1336467)

Just thought that I'de throw a wrench into the works:

Race: KART sanctioned Stock Medium, Stock Heavy, and Blue Wazoom.

Chassis: 2 STS Offsets (STS= Seriously Trick......Stuff) Made in Indianapolis

Race at: Thunderlake Speedway(1/5 mile slightly banked clay oval)
Warrensburg (1/5 mile HIGHLY banked clay oval)
Wellington (1/3 mile FLAT dirt oval)
Travel within 4 states for money races

Currently 3rd in points at T-Lake but lot's more season left to screw that up.
Just thought I would throw this out so I could hear all the latest dirt track jokes. Remember: if you aren't getting dirty, you're not doing it right.

Road raced cars for 17 years, been at these karts for about 4 years and convinced that I never really learned anything AND am getting dummer every day.

I admire anybody that can drive one of these things tidy and fast.

Dan Fielden · 6 Jul 2005, 13:03 (Ref:1348738)

Class/ World Formula
Chassi/ MS (WF)
Club/ Isle Of Man Kart Racing ASS' (I.O.M.K.R.A)

I think kartin is good as does every driver. I realy admired Montoya in his early f1 days coz he started in f1 when i started in karts and i would always try and be like he was on the track.

Tec-Mec 60 · 12 Sep 2005, 19:55 (Ref:1406040)

Whats your class - TKM Extreme
Chassis - Tec-Mec
Championship - bits of everything, started off doing s1 at the start of the year but had a terrible first two rounds bending chassis in the first heat of both despite having the pace to run at the front. have had a lot of terrible luck this year so i'm easing off for now and building some money up for the start of next year.
