Hey gents,

Living in CO and it being in single digits this weekend, I was able to work on my 2021 CKR. Figured I’d start a thread so we can show off this years karts.

Just picked it up yesterday before the roads got slick here in Texas. 2021 BirelART RY30-S12.

Here is an advance pic of my new friend, Maggie the Margay. She’s waiting for me and I am waiting for her (invoice).

Back in the seat after taking a break in 2017. Picked up a 1 race 17 Praga Dragon. Currently has a Honda on it but I have a Rok shifter on the way.

And because I’m short, a shot of the IPK footbox extensions and the 2020 pedals.

Merlin LM30. My first kart and looking forward to the fun. Though sticking to track/practice days with it.

I dub thee Knight Rider.

You actually got Merlin to call or write you back to sell you a kart?

Groove1797 · February 15, 2021, 1:40am

I love Praga’s. It was my first kart so I will always have an affinity for them. This will be my first year in a non-Praga.

i went from Intrepid to Praga. I have a decent pile of old parts that will fit this 17. Italkart is now IPK built so I have a more local parts source if I need any as well.

Forza · February 15, 2021, 2:05am

Bought it 2nd hand. But the local shop sells Merlin karts so I figure getting parts wont be to bad.

My son’s kart, technically he got it last season, but only did a few races on it with the shortened season last year. He wants to remove the intrepid stickers and put something different on it, probably red/white/black to match his suit and helmet.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Intrepid (and now Italkart too) now being made at its own facility separate from IPK?

Andy_Kutscher · February 15, 2021, 6:05pm

Picked up a month ago haven’t done anything except mount the seat which is the hardest part for me.

2021 Redspeed

zipty842 · February 15, 2021, 6:21pm

Intrepid yes. The 2021 Italkart is definitely IPK.

Ill be autocrossing the Miata and lapping/racing rental karts this year. Nowhere to store a kart has limited my options but I’m working hard to fix that!
