Re: Who's racing shifter this year?
Last year I did some preliminary testing. Mpst of the ICC were around 87db some 89db the loudest kart on the circuit was Iain McLeods stock moto at 96- 98 db most were around 93-95db . All the stock moto were running K&N style intake filters which make it louder. I believe with proper intake boxes and well packed exhausts they should be able to comply.

Hopefully, the shifter class will live up to the early hype so far and we will see healthy grids this year. If you are waiting in the wings and haven't made your intentions known for this class, please post below. Thx.

Re: Who's racing shifter this year?
I bought a shifter so I will likely race it this year but only after if have gone through the whole machine and done a butt-load of laps to make sure I'm not going to kill anyone (including me !)
4-stroke will be my focus (someone has to keep Kwong on his toes !) but time permitting, I will do some shifter races.
Looking forward to the ride.
