Re: VLR premix oil

If it is open (which I'm sure it is), they should be able to verify by mixing a sample with their test fuel, and your oil. There's also people using castor oil, which is not allowed in the Rok USA rules, but I believe is allowed here. It would probably be good to at least narrow it down to a couple ...

Re: LO206 Briggs for junior

The brutal reality is they have DQ carbs that were stamped Briggs, with the appropriate part number marked on the carb body, but the internal measurement failed. If the engine has orange seals, I believe it should have the right carb. I think it was new for 2020. A new carb is probably $200-250, and...

Re: 2022 VLR Roll Call

Questions about Fred's post:

Why only best 7 out of 11- why not 9?
Will there be a VLR class at Nationals, or will they have to enter a different class for that?

Re: Try A Kart

Thanks for the post Don. It should be mandatory reading. This sums up how I felt for years. Thank You for your years of dedication in helping out. I am certain I would not have lasted as long as I did without you there!
