Keeping the JPS theme going like my race car. It's a TONY kart w 60cc, limited to 9hp now but she can go to 12hp. I borrowed the eagle face from Dan Gurney's Eagle

Shifter karts are crazy fast. JP Momtoya & Tomy Kanaan race karts at this track too

Very cool. Looks like big fun.

Florida has some really good Kart shops, tracks, and series. TaG stuff is great, compared to the old school KT100 days!

That is a beauty of a cart ! Should be a blast to drive. What is approximate top speed in current configuration ?

Mjolitor 68 08-15-2016 08:46 AM

I think at 12 hp she'll do 40mph+. His car control is very good. We go to K1 speed also when we can't go to the gas karts, he's 8 & he regularly beats everybody including teenagers, LOL.

Another quality hubble brag.

Just make sure that you wear the right gear. Sometimes even that isn't enough.

I have a rib that permanently sticks out due to racing shifter karts.

It can be brutal on the body.
