My other hobby

i figured id show you guys my other hobby that i love. i started racing when i was 10 and im 21 now so ive been doin it over half my life. ive traveled all around the west coast running regional series, national races, special invite races over the years. the funny part about my kart is it probably puts out more HP to the wheels than my datsuns. its powered by a TM125cc that puts out 45hp out of the 6 speed gearbox.

heres at an autocross, puttin some cars to shame and gettin sideways while doin it:fu:


a little action years ago runnin at Infineon Raceway for Redbull in their Formula 1 drivers search which is how Scott Speed is racin there. i got spun out while runnin 3rd in the last heat. the top 6 went to Sebring, i caught back up to 7th:mad:


once the photographer from saturdays night race gets the pics uploaded, ill post em on here.

thats cool bro

Im jealous

damn that tight... ive seen them run on dirt up in north ga and those guys are crazy.... spin someone out and you'll be throwing fists with him next lol

how fast do you get up to in that thing?

about 80 on the tracks i normally race but on the bigger tracks they top out at about 125mph

Here's ours:



We run a flathead Briggs, but it's fun for him, so that's what counts. That was lat year's kart. I'll post some pics of this year's soon.

sweet, thats what i started out racing was the briggs flathead motors. i didnt know people were still racing those. everything in sprint racing here has gone to the "animal" motor.

We're kind of in Podunk USA, so yeah, there are still several flatheads around here.

Our local track has also started a "clone" class for the Chinese version of the Hondas. Haven't been able to see them run yet, but it's supposed to be a less expensive/more fair alternative for the average Joe racer just starting out. Good luck to you!

they dont run the briggs animal motors over there? those are pretty cheap spec motors and are about the same power as the flathead.
and thanks. good luck to you and your son too
