Daytona Kart Week and Jamie McMurray

Daytona Kart Week was a blast! We did not race but learned a lot. The Corsa and Haase Karts were there in force and had a great showing. If they were not leading the race they were always in the top 5. This year they had the dirt oval karts at the speedway. They ran the manufactures cup during the day and the oval karts at night which made for a full day of racing.
NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and AJ Allmendinger were a few of the pro drivers who were competing in the kart races. Jamie did very well running in 4th and 3rd place. AJ did not do so well as his kart had handling issues. I must say Jamie seems like a super nice guys. He was friendly to everyone, even spending some time with a few kids while in the staging lanes. Nice to see fame has not gone to his head.
While we were there I picked up a new GO-PRO camera which we will be using for our on-board filming. All in HD 1080p! 2011 is gonna be a great year and we will be racing Daytona in 2011!

We are heading to Daytona for Kart Week. We will post pics and updates later this week.

New Tag engine is in and Graphics are installed

Everything is finally here! We installed the customer graphics last night. They look AWESOME! The Corsa is almost ready for battle.

The next step is the engine swap, moving the KT100 to the Shadow Oval Kart and mounting the TAG motor to the Corsa Kart. This will be done this weekend. Test and tune next week!

New TAG Motor on the way

Slowly but surely the Corsa kart is coming together.The Graphics are in, the new brakes are in and now we ordered the new TAG 125CC motor today. Looking forward to racing the TAG series this year. Hopefully, if things go well we can compete in the World Championship in August 2011 at Indy's New Castle Motorsports Park.
With this move to TAG, it opens the door to use our Oval kart and run some dirt races with the KT100 equipment. This is going to be a fun year with LOTS of racing!

New Graphics on the way

We got the new graphic kit on the way next years season. The tear down and rebuild has started. Test and tune next! Heading to PRI this week. Pics to come.
