Blue_ back out on his Kart :)
Took my Kart out yesterday to a place called 'Forest Edge' - near Andover.

... there's always one!!! . .. some nice rear-end steering there ... a Gixer engine in a kart seems a little OTT really!! ... that said, at a fullsize track like that, a kart like mine would just be flat out all the time ... where's the fun in that!?! and it'd just go POP! ... I know it doesn't look like it in the vid, but my kart is actually geared for 82mph at that track* ... and if you listen to the revvs, I am flat out in parts and it would pull taller gearing  .... so mibie capable of 90mph with the correct gearing? (believe me 80 is fast enough when ya bum is scraping on the ground and you only have a boiler-suit on!!  ).Anyway, 80mph is fine for a kart track, but would seem painfully slow on a fullsize like that!! So you would NEED a GIXER thou engine ...  ... well OK not NEEED!!! .... *again it doens't look like it, but that GIXER must have been deep in the 3 figures at times!!

Re: Blue_ back out on his Kart :)
Looks very nasty when they flip, how much do they weigh? Do you wear any armour under the boiler suit?
