The Karting Club

Florida WKA Karting Championship is next weekend for me at Ocala....this is the second time we went there this season....so we are running in clockwise with Chicane and Hairpin....which is a monster.....so this ought to be fun...

look at this pic of me...its awesome...its me at jacksonville

hahaha, that is awsome

thnxs...

Well......my Final at Ocala did not go as planned.... it started raining....so we put on rains(it was my first time racing in the rain).....i was doing great up until the 3rd lap where my kart decided to jerk left, and spin me off on a dirt mound.....and beached my kart....i was done...my kart would not start and it was packed full of dirt.....thats my first DNF....

sorry to here mate, i for the easykarts engines were tuff going. Maybe not!

Ok...personally i would not do that....but hey its your money and your plans...

Im going to be posting pictures of easykart at Monticello....all i have to say is....it was the best race i have ever had...the start was crazy!

4 stroke is just bigger and more competitve around here, TaG is never really a full grid and competition isnt great besides for someone making minimum wage, 4 stroke is easier to do. i also have frineds in 4 stroke

Looks nice! Congrats you are now a Official member of the Karting club....

You should try to get a BIG sponsor so you dont have to pay as much money....sponsors like....Monster or any other energy drink. or you can just try to get alot of little sponsors...either way you have money flowing in...and money in the sport of racing...is very very valuable to your effort....in some cases money can make you or break you....this is talking sponsor wise...the more sponsors you have the better off you are...and the best way to get sponsors is.....incentives...."if they sponsor you....what will you do for them, in return?" Usually you want to throw in about advertising... i.e stickers on kart+trailer or Kart+truck+suit or for the big time Kart+Truck+Trailer+Suit+Tent+Clothing etc... it is easy to get sponsors once you get a hang on what they what from you if they sponsors you...then you can pluck them out of the water.

gonna start winning races first lol
