kgb tag karts

[Greg Shebert]

hi folks

what does anyone know about kgb tag karts?

there's a fella on ebay selling a complete tag kart (rotax engine) w/front brakes for $2500... its a 2002 chassis/engine, engine rebuilt & blueprinted in 2003 - 10 hours on the engine since then

seems like a steal even including shipping from minnesota...

are front brakes legal in tag? can they be run at norway?

how does kgb/rotax compare to margay/leopoard?

i'm looking to get into something mid-summer but don't want to blow a good opportunity if one comes along

Front brakes are not legal in TAGUSA for sprint racing,
they're legal for road racing.

However, in the RotaxMax Challenge, front brakes are allowed

I hope this help

thanks roberto

sorry you missed out this saturday!... it was freezing cold out at norway... you probably could have taped off 50% of your radiator :)

i think what is most likely to happen is that i'll pick up that HPV that will's friend is trying to sell... that is, if its still around when i have the cash...

i think i could run in HPV lite but might want to run in HPV heavy - the field in the heavy class is much larger and looks very competitive... the light class had only 4 guys show up (one of them in an HPV rentail from the track)...

then again, with fewer guys, the light class might be a better place for me to cut my teeth initially...

i'd like to spend about a half season getting my legs under me and then maybe try to compete in a full season next year :)...

HPV is a great class, there's always a good number of racers.
The package that Ken (Will's friend) has is a BRM chassis with HPV.
Take a look at BRM website:

www.dream-kart.it

also, Profile Racing is the main importer of the chassis for the U.S.
they are located in IL, so you can get all the support that you will need. Give them a call, or talk to Will about them.

Greg,

I pretty sure Joel Driver got his kart from those folks (a BRM)
and was very pleased with their support. Check with him to
see if I remembered this correctly.
