The Track

The Karts
	We use the a DINO Racin g chassis, with safety rails, to avoid interlocking of the wheels. Many years of testing insures that these bars do not in any way impair the handling of the karts. The karts are mounted with a torquey 12 horsepower 270 cc Honda engine. The clutch is a one-speed oil-bath centrifugal clutch that engages the rear axle at 1800 RPMs. Top speed is 50 MPH.
