[Chuck Fowler]

[Steve Ekstrand]

Yeah, Its got a 50cc Italian water pump motor!

[Kurt Rahn]

He looks like a little bada$$ in all black, especially the shiny Darth Vader-esque helmet.

[Steve Ekstrand]

Yeah... Stacey's old helmet.
The suit was killer. But its a loaner.

He's got Bell stuff from C2 on the way. Blue and white suit and this helmet:




Not as badass as the Black Power Ranger....

[Mako Koiwai]

Chad want's to know where he can get that sticker for his new Exige?

[Mako Koiwai]

Why would Robert want to Auto Cross his kart ... instead of actually going wheel to wheel racing. Probably save his folks a LOT of money if they followed HIS circuit instead of their own Cone Chasing.

Evel Knievel Jr. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

[Steve Ekstrand]

5-7 sprint karts are brutal. And massive uncontrolled cheating. 5 yo's never do that well, too much developmental difference between parents involved for two years learning how to cheat and new parents. Oh, I mean between a 5 yo and a 7 yo.

I want him to run for several months before I'd even consider throwing to those wolves. And then.... We race 20+ weekends a year. I don't know if we could run another series even if we didn't have conflicts. We'll see where he goes with it. He's never going to be Lewis Hamilton. He'll be 6'2 as a 12 yo. That is not the build for modern race car driver and certainly not a karter. The days of a Tommy Kendall are long long gone. And I don't even think pudgy Tony Stewart would have a career these days.
