Go Karting 2
More thrashing of the go karts!
thank you, we enjoy making the videos.
We use 4 karts primarily.
Three of which are coyote frames.
2 karts use 5.5hp briggs motors.
2 karts use 6.5 honda clone motors.
The clone motors are way better. You can get them for about $160 at harbor freight.
engine mods vary and include:
open header, bigger air cleaner and enlarging the jet.
Fuel is premium (93 octane) gasoline.
My engine is a clone with the original exhaust gutted and the original air cleaner flipped over to clear the tire.
Ground clearance ranges from 1 inch to 2 inches.
As far as reliability, you really have to keep the air cleaners in good shape. we service everything, everytime we drive.
My stock air cleaner is cleaned with gas, then soaked in oil and then I put grease (very important) around all the edges so nothing slips by. The larger filters are oiled and wrapped with a prefilter. Dirt and dust are the enemy.
The clutches are 16 tooth basic noram racing clutches (heavy shoes with red springs). The tires are burris d21 or ss11 (super soft). Tire compound is critical for wet grass. We dont allow rain tires because we want to protect the grass. We reseed about 800 feet of the track every year (and then we kill it all in about an hour. The rear gears are 63 tooth. We buy the quality gears and best chains we can find. Everything gets worn out in 1 year and we have to replace all bearings, rear sprocket, chains and rebuild the clutches. The engines, with very good maintenance, will last for years. We all run the same gear ratio. I think its 1 : 3.94
Tire pressures are from 4 psi to 10 psi depending on track conditions. We have a liability waiver and lots of rules. We use hand signals and number all of our turns.
The best frames have a wide front end. The coyote widetrack is an excellent frame for this. We scale our karts and add weight if necessary. The wight ratio is 42% front and 58% rear or as close as you can get. Side balance is equal.
I should make a video of all the prep and setup steps.
It’s a lot of maintenance and work for a little play.
We work on them for hours and drive them for minutes.
I hope that helps. Feel free to ask any more questions.
Good luck, and have fun.

Oswego Dirt Karting Club – Galletta’s Go-Karts 2009 Vol. 2 – Highlights from June 14th, 2009
http://gallettasgreenhouse.com/gokarts/20090614.html
Galletta’s Go-Karting Club races eight to fifteen extremely affordable Gas Go-Karts competitively every weekend between June through November annually behind Galletta’s Greenhouse in Oswego, NY, USA. Our racing karts are built to be highly affordable, with fast speeds and safety for low prices – so people who will bash and say, “they’re slow” and “they turn the wrong way” will either get ripped and/or just deleted. The point is to make a highly competitive racing club for roughly $400-700 per kart (instead of the cookie-cutter methanol racing karts which cost $3,000-7,000) and extremely cheap expenses – 1-WD, gas run, and a limit on parts to keep things VERY affordable and VERY fast. We also tally points, and have weekly pictures, videos, and website descriptions to every race, including every year of our history (since 1996) and every single race since 2005. Why race with rich guys of below average intelligence but with lots of expendable income and no other skills or hobbies? Or with crazed parents who want their kids to win – no matter the cost? Race with people who race experienced professional drivers, for fun, want new people to join and win, have simple rules, and all for extremely affordable yard kart prices. We have fun RACING, no fighting, and no costly expenses.
This is our race from Sunday, June 14th, 2009, our 2009 season – a Twin-30s night. Some REALLY close and compatitive racing in both 30 lappers, and thanks to two new rookies, a few fun crash clips to enjoy (and no injuries and they can’t wait to come back and try it again!). These are low-resolution highlight reels from our DVDs, which are available on our website for $5 each, and go from one hour to four hours each, PACKED with clean, exciting racing action, and the occasional fantastic flip or crash. We’re always looking for new people (rookie or experienced vet) to join us! Come on out!

VROOM kart race by BekO
VROOM is an insane kart race movie because the pilots do not have go-kart! They sink on the circuit like formula 1 but sitted on their buttocks. No pitstop but action, accidents, and crash . The last car crash is terrible, the kart pilots are projected on the road ! But perhaps was this only a video game ? Our videogame addicts are consciousness in front of their TV? In short, this cartoon film made in stop motion (pixilation) by BekO will remain the automobile competition which gives hottest to the buttocks! the continuation on http://www.lilibeko.com

Go-Kart vs. Peg Perego jeep!
I crashed into it, because it was old, and it didn’t work anymore. And if you look at the crumple zone, you can see that it kinda crushes in. Anyways the last crash, the seat hit my leg REALLY badly! Enjoy!
