One of the main reasons that California produces lots of good young sprintcar drivers, huely popular there, they grow up running these things, then jump straight into a 410 sprinter like they were born to it. Would be a great class for aspiring sprintcar drivers.

8KNZD ($5k US) was for a brand spanking new roller, Zach was saying you can pick up a good second hand roller for 3.5K US, he picked up the white kart for that and only had 3 meetings on it so was pretty much brand new. He was looking a sourcing a number of good second hand rollers and putting together a container of other bits and pieces to help get it off the ground. As per hmac's comments, Zach also said that he wished he had started out in these instead of a quarter midget as they teach you far superior car control and race craft from a young age. Even the wing is functional in shifting weight to the front or back of the kart if it is tight or loose. The 4 stroker engine was a CRM450 that owed him $1000NZ.

They look like a lot of fun. On the hammer the whole time. Would need a smooth track I am picking.

Check out "Millbridge Speedway" here in the heart of NASCAR some big names show up there on a regular basis. Larsen, Seavey, Daum Bell to name just a few. This is a cheap form of "FUN" hey "KING" chassis can build these pick a spec cheap Kiwi available engine & go have "Drugless" Family Fun!!!
Cheers

What sort of lap times are they doing and how do they compare with others
I picked they were fairly consistent at 13 second when they got up to speed
