Re: Fuel talk - octane, ethanol, etc.

The Co-op station I got the sample from was our spec station in Strathmore. Around August of 2023.

Re: Fuel talk - octane, ethanol, etc.

Nice discussion. I don't know if the fuel providers vary their supply batch by batch, but I did check the Co-op gas, sometime late (ish) in the season in 2023 and the fuel I tested did NOT contain Ethanol. I just checked it on one occasion, out of curiosity more than anything. Regarding the octane f...

Re: Perspective

I agree John This summer I was in Florida and visited a racing / rental facility to do some laps. They offer kart storage (20 foot seacan) for $400 USD per month. (about $6500 CDN per year, which is roughly triple our cost) They also have limited access for kart owners, as they dedicate a lot of tim...

Re: Can i use a bike pump + tire guage to inflate go-kart tires?

I agree with Jason. A bike pump is not ideal. A 5 gallon air tank is great and you can fill it at the track. You will be able to top up 4 tires in mere seconds.

GoPro footage from Stratotech?

Did anyone record any racing at Stratotech on their Gopro?
Post a link to the Youtube channel if you have anything.

Re: Do young karters make better drivers?

I have observed many kids and adults alike over the years and I have a couple of thoughts. For the most part, what someone does on the street in their car will be determined greatly by their own personality and tendencies and many other factors. For example, a calm and even-keeled person vs an impat...

Senior Enduro roll call

Hi all, I’ve compiled a team to run senior two stroke (rotax) in this year’s enduro but I wanted to gauge how many senior two stroke teams are going to be running (rotax, VLR, shifter). I just don’t want to be the only team running anything faster than a briggs. I recognize with it being moved to th...

Re: Class Reps

Senior Rotax should be good to continue with P, Q, PF, F for the time being.
