Ballarat is definitely on the cards. If i bring a kart it will probably be my dap a-frame. It had brake issues at numurkah and didn't get any track time.

New Toy
"Nice, what brand? Is that what I have to look forward too, a garden table out the back? Maybe I should rethink this relationship!"
Ralph Sonntag left a comment for Leigh Hunter"Hello Leight,
so far I've never seen one. 135cc PCR rotary valve has a KKCD member from Switzerland."
John Cutting left a comment for Leigh Hunter"Hello Leigh,
I like the twins too but until the x8 never had one or driven one. They certainly open the eyeballs. We have a dap 135 to go on something and a pair of komet k88s to go on something as well. The zip kart in the shed might be a…"

Mark Mansell replied to Leigh Hunter's discussion Should you be allowed to run Formula A engines in Vintage Era 3-4 Classic and post classic karts in the group VINTAGE & HISTORIC KARTS"Stephen, you have provided a very thought provoking argument. What exactly defines a vintage anything? Bike, speedcar or Kart? We need to firstly sit down and draw up a true definition or specification. Due to the fact that we are not actually…"
John Cutting left a comment for Leigh Hunter"Hello Leigh,
Numurkah was great, if a bit warm. I'm glad you like the look of my x8. It was a local kart but had been dodged up in the back particularly in brake mountings. Some new bar work and caliper mounts fixed it.

Ballarat is definitely on the cards. If i bring a kart it will probably be my dap a-frame. It had brake issues at numurkah and didn't get any track time.
Been hot here in the Mount, went over 41 degrees yesterday and 34 today. The heat saps the energy and i'm in the middle of our christmas shut doing maintenance. Damned hot in overalls.
Regards, John

Hello Leigh,
I like the twins too but until the x8 never had one or driven one. They certainly open the eyeballs. We have a dap 135 to go on something and a pair of komet k88s to go on something as well. The zip kart in the shed might be a possibility for the komets with some work.
We had few vintage karts down here, at the Mount, for our fiftieth anniversary last year and alot of interest was shown. Maybe something might happen.
It's good to hear you've got the tecno looking great again. It will be interesting to see it going with the rotaxes on it. Might have to go to Ballarat just to have a look.
See you then, John.

Hello Leigh,
Numurkah was great, if a bit warm. I'm glad you like the look of my x8. It was a local kart but had been dodged up in the back particularly in brake mountings. Some new bar work and caliper mounts fixed it.
I had been having a sticky throttle problem and as it turned out, the left one. It stuck open and i found the kitty litter. Nice mess afterwards. It's unfortunate that you have to powdercoat again. Both your twins look brilliant.
Catch up next time, John.
