"It was a dark and stormy night.... Bruce Hill and his new wife Norma were on their honeymoon Europe.....as it happens, nearTransylvania . They were driving along a rather deserted road. It was late and raining very hard. Bruce…"

"Allan, An O2 sensor can be tested in a gas flame.  The BBQ or gas stove is a good source of the combustion process.  Hold the ceramic bit of the sensor in various parts of the gas flame.  The reading on the display should change…"

"Tim, We use the Jet-Tech and it is excellent.  The support from John, Colin and the rest of the boys over in the UK is great. A local product worth considering is an application by John Davidson.  He lives not far from me and as a…"

"John, You idea has merit.  Take it to you club and have it put up.  It may receive the required support. I don't beleive the sport of kart racing can sustain the replacement of two engine types in close succession.  However,…"

"Hello Alex, Thanks for welcoming me to the 21st century. Some people may be time poor.  Its a label they give themselves - and its just relative.  To not feel the need to consider myself "time poor", I take every advantage I can…"

"Neville, The minutes of the NKC general meeting 25th August 2011 contain references to reports made by Gary Light and Craig Denton re engine comittee progress.  These minutes are on the AKA website. I beleive Trevor Crane was the VKA's…"

"Hello Neville, Most of what is reported to the VKA delegates by the NKC delegates at State Council meetings is delivered verbally.  The NKC delegate reads from the notes he has taken at the most recent NKC meeting.  Often…"

"Damian, Re these 100's of clubs world wide.  Do they weigh valves?  Do they dyno valve springs?  Do they measure and map camshaft timing, duration and lift?  Do they measure valve guide length, OD and material?  Is port…"

"Aaron, A 4 stroke would be unlikely to be considered given they are more likely to be "tuned" way beyond "standard" than a 2 stroke.  A 4 stroke would also be a nightmare for engine measurers and engine owners.  The…"

"David, As the Vice President of the TKC, I'm suprised much of this is news to you.  It was detailed at a Victorian State Council meeting around 18 months ago that a couple of sub-comittees had been put together by the NKC to look at…"

"Max, Very Very Good :-)  "

"Raymond, Additional seat stays can provide more corner exit grip - possibly reducing oversteer.  As Anthony has suggested - its all about where in the corner you are loosing the rear end. If the rear end is coming around the very instant you…"

"Raymond, The two chassis you are comparing are vastly different.  If you are running Rotax Light then yes maybe the chassis is a bit too stiff. Grab a couple of extra seat stays and bang them on.  An Arrow on Mojos sometimes likes to…"

"Raymond, We presentlyhave three of them.  A couple of 30/32's and a 30/30. They respond to setup changes as well as any kart.  And like any kart you will need to test and experiment to get the best from them."
