My new rocket:0-100mph in 6.o seconds
As a training platform for open wheel F1,F3 & Can Am driving this year @ MMC I decided to get involved in Formula Karts.
Just bought this today: Pavesi 125 cc (italian race motor) with brembo brakes etc , 6 speed gear box, adjustable suspension etc.
Cant wait to let it rip.

they are great fun. I grew up racing ICC shifter karts on Birel and PCR chassis...best performance for the dollar this side of a Formula 1000 or atlantic car.

You're driving F1, F2 and CanAm cars? Are you buying or renting? Either way, pretty damn cool.
Oh, the kart is cool, too, but I'd rather hear about the big ***** race cars.

Rich, please tell me I don't have to be on the lookout for THAT in my rearview mirror on the MMC back straight! Picking out Radicals there is bad enough.

Sweet. Is the CanAm car a Lola or March or Friselle (probably not the latter)?
