"Thanks for that Pat - here I was as a young 18-20 year old believing that cheating didn't happen. So the 2.5 litre V12 BRM was a really good 2.5 litres! That would explain why Leo Geoghehan, Kev Bartlett and John Harvey looked second rate by…"

"Best sound I ever heard was a 2.5 litre BRM V12, cut back from 3 litres for the Tasman Series back about 1968. Have tried to find one on the internet just to savour tha sound again, but no luck so far.   Apart from the regular Aussie…"

"Jeff, A couple of years ago, your dad used to get on one of these forums. Enjoyed his sense of humour no end. What happened to him - is he still around? By the way, going over some old karting manuals some time back, I recall seeing your name there…"

"Allan,   Never ever use acid. It eats steel away, thereby making your muffler AKA non-compliant - to say nothing of the possible holes that it may leave.   However, soaking in strong caustic soda solution for about a week softens up all…"

"John Lane, What you have posted here is in part a lie - a damned lie. Please retract it now.   Terry Sheedy"

"Hi David,   Might be a trek, but image just how far that trek would have been if it were at Townsville. And no, you won't need to pack you lunch. Last time I visited the Gympie track, the tucker at the canteen wasn't too bad at…"

"David, Not sure what you are on about. First, the tyres chosen for each class are the subject of a competitive tender. AKA calls for tyres to be tendered, with specifications as to the characteristics for each relevant class (promoter classes…"

"Dylan,   I think that your best bet is to take the caliper and master cylinders in to a brake repair specialist to have them refurbished. You could go new with some aftermarket, or even newer OTK brakes. But if they do not fit exactly to the…"

"They're out there‼   The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing,stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light byaccelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious…"

"Peter, A little scrawny bloke like Col (sorry Col) 'forced' you to start this thread.   My heart bleeds.   Terry Sheedy"

"Thanks for that Gavin. Also thanks to Chris and Don. Back to Adam Graham's original post 'Whos up for banning senior J s at State and National level? Im sick of going to a major meeting waiting for senior j's to finish wobbling round…"

"Martin,   You failed to note that our family, two sons and myself, between us, have raced J Clubman, and Leopard. Believe me, we know where the cost is. It is not J's.   You with your KZ2 at $7-8000 (second hand) compared to $2500 for…"

"Martin, I might also ask what drugs you are on. In the many years that I have posted on Kartbook, I have NEVER EVER said that we should not run fast, or even the fastest, classes. Please, NEVER EVER suggest to me that I have…"

"Gavin, I am 64, and I don't do drugs. Don't even need prescribed medical drugs. People on here compare a $10,000 KF1 kart (or even an $8,000 Leopard setup) with a $20,000,000 F1.   I think that a $4,000 J compared to a $100,000 FF is…"

"A couple of years ago at the Qld titles at Mackay. a couple of old farts, Remo and Bevan Garioch were short priced favourites for O/40's. Same kart brand (guess), working out of the same pit, walking back to their pit with their karts straight…"

"The real point is that Formula 1 only runs at 20 circuits or less in the entire planet each year. It does not run at club events. That is the big difference.   At club events all over the world, they run things like Formula Ford, Formula…"
