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!



2002 Catalog







1999 Catalog







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.

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.

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.
