Yeah, well if I wasn't headed back to the States in March, my hypothetical go-kart would kick both of your hypothetical go-karts!

| Post subject: | Gokart for Bitburg |
Garry, I am looking for a winter project and have most of the ingredients to build a reasonably fast go-kart (similar to the Gixxer). Frame mods will be chromoly that is professionally TIG welded, so structurally it will be strong. Powered by a Yamaha R1 motor. Disk brakes front and rear. Question is: will I be allowed to run at Bitburg? |

Hey Roy, I'm sure my (hypothetical) kart is going to whip your (hypothetical) kart's a$$. |

I got to stay out of that - Silke has more insight into the working and thinking of the Airport people down there ... I know they do cart racing, both hobby and professional, there, but as for permission for a 1on1 event - no idea ... |

Guess you can't wait to get your hands on something that huggs the curves on the AutoX even better than the Porsche ...

An R1 powered gokart would be INSANE!!!!! What's that, like 180 hapees?

Well, I never intended to die peacefully in my sleep! The only problem might be getting the power to the ground. But, I think it can be solved by mounting 4 wheels on the rear axle (a bit like a "duellie truck"). |

I've seen those gokarts. Either that, or some really W-I-D-E rear tires!

Get some Mini wheels. And a strong roll cage! |

Duff idea on the Mini wheels. Don't need much of a rollbar either, the kart will only weigh about 140kg (300lb). |

OK, the hypothetical cart has a real motor. I've committed to buying the R1 motor (nearly new with only 8700km). Now the next big expense is a decent chassis and lots of rear tires. Silke, how's the permission for 2005 coming along? 2slow |

At Race Wars and Speed Days it is allowed to run anything. Trust me. |

Silke told me that the Bitburg bylaws (for the rental agreement) excludes a lot of things, specifically motorbikes (including pocketbikes). So that type of fun must unfortunately be practiced somewhere else. |
