Finally getting to work on the KA100 to LO206 swap on my CompKart 4R chassis. At least I seem to have enough chain. 😂

First official race in the cadet class for my son! Cool today, but at least we’re getting some sun on the track.

Even my #cat knows that my skills as a mechanic need help.

#Karting season began yesterday, and my son got his first real practice sessions in his #LO206 #CadetKart. Even getting used to the wider chassis, doubled horsepower, a cold track, and a new Turn 1, he put down lap times similar to his best #KidKart times. Should be a fun season for him and his friends!

I'm awaiting new parts for his kid kart, since I want it in top condition prior to selling it; but I did get the last parts to finish the swap on my kart from a #KA100 to an LO206, so we can race on the same days and get some practice sessions together.

In the mood to go #cycling and get these things done, but weather and muscle strains made today a rest day. Finally watching #IndyCar qualifying for St. Petersburg before today's #F1 race. F1 and #FormulaE are doing a lot to promote true sustainability, but I feel like IndyCar and #IMSA could be doing more than a relatively light hybrid and sustainable fuels. I often worry that those fuels are a bit of a carbon 'shell game.'

‘Tis almost the season.

I finally finished winterizing the karts today. I can’t wait until these are all electric … but it looks like it will take a while to get something like the #ROTAX #E20 from Europe into production and sold here in the States.
Anyway, ‘till next season! #karting #LO206

My son moved up from the #Honda #50cc #kidkart class to the cadet #LO206 at the very end of this year. I dropped down from the #KA100 class to also run the 206 so we’ll have the same race days (granted, different classes) and can do some practice sessions together next year. The cadets are restricted but lighter, so my almost 8-y/o may be competitive with my ‘big-boned’ adult body & kart. Should make for some fun training sessions! (I winterized the karts today so I felt like posting.) #karting
