Being a Florida boy, id love to try karting in the snow, at least once
I can assure you it’s cold and there’s not much grip.

Keep an eye out for the Snowball 250 in February at Fremont Raceway Park in Ohio then!
Went to align it, found camber was way off side to side. Was relieved to find only a bent King-Pin and not a bent chassis. =)

Found the exhaust pipe on the lo206 engine is loose.
So, rewrapped a portion of the exhaust, cut the safety wires on the exhaust bolts on the head. Will put everything back together tomorrow. I think I’m going to have to bend one of the support brackets to ensure that neither of them apply any force on the exhaust pipe when I tighten the hose clamps that connect the supports to the exhaust pipe. What s pain…

Upgrade the semi automatic stand to automatic with
Stronger arm handmade by us and electric motor from the China . Works like a charm now . But the stand we get out of the box was a bad one for sure .

Yesterday evening I popped out to NCMP to put a friend in my shifter kart for a few sessions so he can get some training in before a big race this month

Excellent. I’m finishing his 500 helmet right now. That Block one was one of my favorites.
Kart Yoga is best yoga.
I added PKT billet pedals to my son’s Kosmic, sweet pedals, but the stop they include really doesnt work with the OTK chassis, so it sort of sits on an angle against the top of the frame tube. Being on an angle, the constant hitting against the angled bolt ended up making the gas pedal stop rotate, and his gas pedal flipped right back towards him.
So i machined a piece to go on the pedal that will make the adjuster screw hit the top of the frame perpendicular to it and it wont rotate now. Should be a much firmer stop.

It was only a one beer job, unfortunately.

A guy of your experience should have been able to milk 2 beers out of a 1 beer job!
