I started with karting when I was 6 or 7 years old! Mostly rental karting! When I got 13 i bought a twin engine kart (4stroke) and practiced a lot. And now since 2 years I have a Biland SA 250, with an RVF chassis! I did some competitions but there weren't enough competitors! Now i mostly kart for fun or do some endurance races with some friends! I'm planning to sell my kart and buy another one. I'm thinking of buying a rotax max with the CRG or Birel chassis, or another biland (have some probs now) also with a good chassis! And I will probably start racing again with it! Maybe here in Belgium, maybe in Germany or France, I don't know yet!

I raced karts for 22 years strong.

I raced karts for 22 years strong. I have been to several nationals throughout the united states. We also used to build motors full time in our shop. our shop is a 1575 sq. ft. shop with a lathe, mill, hone,etc... and inventory from yamaha;s to pcr's to horstman, l&t. it goes on forever. Our company was Murphy Bros. Racing. We are out of salinas, CA and still put on kart races at a local airport. I was sponsered by Cal-Kart (invader karts), High rev engineering HRE karts and also tri star (suits,shoes and gloves.) and franklin motorsports (PCR). I raced super stock heavy,reed and rotary heavy. I have won 14 track championships, 78 I.K.F regional races, 12 I.K.F. class championships and numerous races. Our motor business was called "Peninsula Motors" and I sure miss those days more than anything. It was only five years ago since I have raced. But it feels like an eternity. any ways hope I didnt bore you too much see ya later

Re: Any other kart racers here?

I race oval asphalt karts. My son was ranked 2nd in WKA National point standings in 06 and 07. He was number 1 in the state (PA) both years also. We didn't run nationals last year because of fuel costs.

I don't race but my 9 year old does. He raced kid karts the last two year. We just bought a Rotax Minimax he'll start racing this season. It's going to be a big jump, but I think he can handle it.
