I ran ringer in a ProKart endurance for a mate's team. Whilst dossing in the paddock as an unknown face, all the other runners were more than happy to boast about how they bent the rules, and how much they spend on tweaking their control parts (2k on blueprinted engines for example).... Generally they're all cheating sh*ts, just to differring degrees.

Still huge fun.  :happy2:
Sideways yo!

What class do you race in mate? and at what tracks?

It depends what class really as some of the engines are sealed these days to stop people messing around with the internals

Rotax 125, the tony kart and alonso are basically the same chassis mate.

i used to race at 3 sisters. Its got a 100 national engine in it for now, i plan on testing for a while on it and getting a rotax 125 engine for it for racing in 2014 but ive been told most tracks inc 3 sisters which is my local track doesnt run these because there not a class anymore and the noise regs, by any chance do you know where does?
