"Yeah - one is green, two are blue (but different shades!), and one is purple.  So they ARE slightly different. "

"Danny, I have no idea where you're racing or the circumstances of the incident.  There is always two sides to every story so I will not comment on the cause or fault in the incident.   However, even if the stewards make a decision you…"

"LOL.  I assumed you were already doing that!!!! I found that the concentras need to be "worked" into the carrier.  Normally you can just use the axle to tweak the bearing on one plane but with the SKF's you need…"

"Yep Steve, this isn't my first go-around - but it was my first go-around with the OTK carriers.  And they are snug."

"You're pretty bloody quick too, Peter!  Why not give opens a go? "

"You guys do know there is a slot in the bearing carrier where the bearings go in first and then you twist them!  Do this in reverse to get them out......"

"Hi Chris   This year is the first year I have raced against you and you will go well in open good luck and hopefully they will fix the rule so we can race against each other in the future. Cheers Pete"

"Phil, On the weekend at the IAME and not mentioning any names, we had 10 over 50's racing and 4 who will be 50 next year and they all bar one race in TAGR.. Next year I think there might be an O/50's TAGR class as…"

"Chris, don't hesitate to make the switch. I'm currently racing Sportsman Heavy in the TAG Super Series. I have only driven unrestricted twice and will be upgrading to 'B' grade after the Newcastle round. I'm currently using…"

"Anyway more related... Yes PW, you and others have found their "home" in TAG R and donot wish to move up. And i understand it fully. It is a brilliant class and I enjoy driving TAG R karts. They have a nice smooth wide power band, the tyre…"

"The host club can submit any rule they want in the supp regs, its up to the state AKA to approve them!   The term 'sportsman' is for classes that are not a national class or is not in the rule book. Theoretically you could submit a…"

"Ah - missed that bit. Would be good to see it changed - they should just have a minimum licence grade required for each class, and if you have that licence or higher, race on. Anyway, I don't want to hijack the thread. Carry on :-)"

"37.01 Driver Limitations: To be eligible to compete in this class a driver must hold a minimum D Grade “Provisional” or C Grade licence.‘A’ and ‘B’ Grade licence holders are not eligible to compete in this class.A…"

"I've been meaning to ask this for a while. Where in the AKA manual does it say a B grader can't race TAG-R? Page 80 says a C grader can't race in TAG (unless they have 6 C grade endorsements, in which case they can compete 3 times in…"

"Hi Chris I upgraded in 2010 for about 12 months and was very uncompetitive,at 54 this year my body just cant take the extra stress. so I dropped back to TAG R , as a class I think its suits me and my budget. The people racing TAG R at the moment are…"

"lol - without this degenerating into a whinge about licence grade restrictions...   You are probably right Max, but it makes you wonder why having MORE experienced karters in TAG-R would be an issue for insurance!!! "
