Hey Paul,

How far are you from Elkhart Lake?
I got to drive past once, but they were having an IKF kart race and wouldn't let me in without joining, for like 80 bucks. SCCA was 35 bucks at the time.
Haven't had the chance to go back, but do a lot of business with a mold foundry in Portage.

About an hour of some of the most fun twisties in WI. I usually spend 3 or 4 weekends there per year.

Quickurt,

At 6,200rpm, our engines develop peak hp which you obviously know and your time slips prove. That's driving the car smart and to it's optimum potential. Just winding it out to wind it isn't smart, it's expensive.
