Thanks for the input Fred, and not to worry I’ve got no delusions of a DD2 being able to keep up with a reasonable 6 speed shifter. There will be another kart that I’ll race with (unless a DD2 class springs out of the ground next year, which seems unlikely).The DD2 really is not competitive with the 6 speed shifters plus you can't do a standing start with it .. you will likely get lapped fairly quickly 6 laps into a 10 lap race if i recall from the last time we had one out. They are not a great race kart and that's why we did not embrace them here at CKRC.. T and T with it is fine but serious racing would likely find you purchasing something different .. you also need the new CIK rear bumper on it to use on our track so make.sure it comes with it.
I am curious why you say they’re not a great race kart though. I can’t see why a field of them wouldn’t produce good racing, and from everything I’ve seen they don’t seem to handle like a brick or be terrible bang for your buck in terms of performance.
