Trackmagic Project

Got a 04 Diablo 4 cheap awhile back. Making it into a bit of a retro project. Will have a 100% legal stock moto engine, all new bodywork. Has the cool double rads Trackmagic used in 99-00. Kart is very clean, should turn out pretty cool.

A real nice ass-kicking

Well to say the Summernationals at Shawano didn't go well would be an understatement. Both Todd and I did not fair well. Never fun being at the tail end of the grid. A few things are part of this crappy weekend. At the beginning of the session we both told ourselves we needed to lose 20 pounds to be ready. Well during the weekend we both scaled in at 433. almost 30 pounds over. We also haven't raced really since 08. We did a few practices this spring but clearly wansn't enough. So mainly it was just not being in kart shape and racing again some fast competition. You have to hand it to the guys in G1 and S4, they are a fast group that has been racing hard all year. So now we need to get in better shape fast to get ready for Rock Island which we will fair much better for I hope. From there we will make a call on the Supernats. Won't spend all that money if we aren't ready but hopefully we can get it done.

I will say SKUSA puts on a top notch event. I can't believe why more people would not choose to race with them. Also very little local shifter drivers should up which I can't understand.
