that is sick.
I love those fast carts. It's much like a poor mans F1 car. It is of no surprise to me that the best race car drivers come from karting. Way cool. |

A lot of bucks sitting there. Terry probably had over $25,000 in that kart. He'd use up $500 in tires just for a practice and one race.
Very,very scary machine. The lap times were faster than a Formula Atlantic. |

110 HP on 250cc?!?! Holy crap! I got a 1000cc bike and it gets about 130! Amazing what they can do on some of them small engines.

Yea, isn't it? It's actually a 300cc but WTF, and it's a 2 stroke. There was a serious amount of developement work between Terry and Rotax to get there. My 125cc in the other post is fairly stock and still puts out about 41 horse. |
