Spec Fuel - why is it Petro Canada?

I don’t know about you guys, but I am tired of paying for 22L to fill a 20L fuel jug at that Petro Canada on the west side of Strathmore. All grades of Petro Canada fuel now contain ethanol. There is no benefit to using Petro Canada over say COOP. I am 99% sure that the COOP in Strathmore would dona...

Re: flat tire problem

With these kid karts, the first 3 things you need to do when you arrive at the track are: 1. Check the tire pressure - most of us run 20psi. There is a compressor at the track if you don’t have an air tank. 2. Fuel is up. Fuel lasts about 45 minutes in these. 3. Check the oil. Apart from that these ...

Re: approved helmet?

M2015 is a motorcycle helmet. SA2015 is for automotive Motorsports. K2015 is for karting. CM2016 is for children’s Motorsports. http://www.smf.org/stds Helmets are inarguably the most important piece of equipment you bring to the track and not the place to pinch pennies. YMMV. http://www.smf.org/stds

The benefits of a rural school...

My kids go to a small 105 student school south of Calgary. There are lots of benefits of a small school as well as some drawbacks... for us, the benefits outweigh the resource constraints. This is my son cranking out some hot laps for his classmates this morning. The kids were very interested in the...
