Tim,
I was thinking of doing the last Mid-Ohio Kart race in October as my helmets nolonger Snell legal next year. My brother has been doing a lot of testing with the spec euro controlled motors and they look like fun. I might get a free motor to run that weekend. Much faster than PP Can class, but still a fixed pipe!!
Karting is truly the most satisfying form of motorsports to the common man. The sounds, the concentration, the heat, the air flow over your body and under your helmet, the speed, the g-forces, the smell and drafting within inches and even bump drafting in a pack of 10 for 45 minutes are things that RC racing just cannot ever replace!! And I love RC racing!!
BTW-Mini needs to race a Xray FK with BMI 350 chassis at Champs this fall. I am sure of it!!
