I don't know, they must have cut that redneck shit out by the time I got there.. In 2001 in Jr. Gold (the biggest and most competitive class) I won the whole series by a fairly big margin.. I even had most overall points in the whole series, all without cheating once. But hey nothing like showing your 9 year old how to be a fine young man huh?

chill out out bro, in any racing sport.. its the person with the most money wins. when i was there it pretty competitive for fucking 9-10 year olds. my dad threw down a couple grand on making my engine solid and fast. it totally fresh and was pretty stout. i used to place 2nd to 5th place after he did it. overall i miss kart racing and wouldnt mind buying a shifter kart sometime soon.

p.s the guy who bought the kart after we sold it, use to win every race, until he wrecked the kart in a nasty crash.

It's cool bro, cheaters have just always made me sick.

The money thing is true for a big part of it, and there's no denying that my dad has a lot of money, but to tell you the truth, the top 3-5 people in my class had almost identical setups, and years more experience than me. I started with beater equipment and I learned quickly, as did my dad with setting up the karts.

Enough talk about all that, have fun at OGP if you guys go.

If you can't make the driver faster, make the kart faster (by any means necessary in your case)
