Family Tree on the (67 year I think) Rupp.
Dad runs vintage events now and has since refurbed it. Now runs with a Mac engine. Todd won the very first race he entered as a youngster. Me in our back yard back down on da farm!
Trackmagic 1994 - 2009
In 2008 Trackmagic went under new ownership and the Hornet was created. Made by Intrepid. This is what we will be racing this year. In 09 - 2010 another owner change and the karts are being produced by Wild kart. Hopefully a full return to USA made is in the cards soon.
2007 FTR graphics scheme
2006 FTR
All new FTR, first your 2005. This year had 4 torsion bars. by the last year of the FTR in 07 it would have only the front.
2004 Diablo IV. Blacked out components are the main difference.
2003 Diablo IV. First year of the Minus components, also the gray Gidley chassis.
2001 Diablo II. First year of the Trackmagic Steering wheel and the shifter lefter handle was welded onto the support rather then it being one piece.
2000 Diablo. First year of the Diablo. Main visual differances from the 97-99 demon are the front torsion bar. The 97 did not have a front torsion bar.
1999 Demon and the rest of the lineup.

Trackmagic!
My 07 FTR bought through Leading edge. Ran TAG in 07 and then got a TM K9B or 08. Changed over the plastic in 08 to the New age 2 stuff
2002 Road America Supernationals. Had a CRS ICC this year.
Todd with his brand new Dialbo II bought through Leading Edge Motorsports. Went out to CA to brake it in, did some sight seeing in SF and hung out with Greg Bell. Fun weekend
My 2000 Diablo that was a factory kart and a factory CR125. The engine was crazy fast. Non painted frame. Pretty trick!
1997 Demon with a KX125. My first kart
So I've been a big Trackmagic fan since I got into Karting in 99 and started racing S3 in SKUSA. Thought I would toss up some of the Adds Trackmagic has done in the past mostly focused on shifters. I'm always amazed how off people are when the sell there Trackmagic on years. You always see a 2006 Diablo in an add which is actually a 2000.
Here are some old pics of the bro and I

Backup Kart Fired up and running
Got the Backup Kart running this weekend. Went together pretty well. Of course the moto requires more dinking around then an ICC but it started on the first turn. Ready to get out and practice. Now on to the two new karts.

Todds Maxters
Todd went with Maxters this year for his G1 ride. First engine which I don't have a pick of yet is Ron Whites 2009 Supernats engine which should be a monster. We also found a pretty much new 2006 model for $2500. This should be a good backup for the year.
Trackmagic Hornet Build
We bought Two new Trackmagic Hornets this winter for $2500 each. I had a trackmagic Hornet last year so we knew these where good karts. Wanted to stick with Trackmagic so this should be a good deal for the year.
Main Race engine
Bought an entire Trackmagic Diablo IV for $2500 with this stock moto engine. Sold the kart so I have about $1300 invested in this engine before I sent it off to Joe White Racing to have it rebuilt. The engine game with the R2H which I won't use so I needed to get the R4. Hopefully this engine is the bomb for this year.
Keiths CR125s for 2010
Here is the backup powerplant that was built by GPI Randy Pierson. Got this 1999 engine for $300. Added new crank, crank bearings, powervalve stuffers, gasket kit, etc. Have about $700 invested total and its %100 fresh and ready to race.
