Gokarts at Bakersfield
May 05th, 2010, 8:33pm Alert Moderator | Quote  As per the request of a few modified drivers, we will be having dirt gokarts during intermission May 15th. I'll have more details next week as I talk to the guy's with karts this weekend. We are not having lawnmowers, so the karts will have a couple of times on the track that night. Scott

These tires look like DLM tires kinda neat.... I think this would be a great class if people could get karts together.  They are cheaper than Mini dwarfs and faster.  

I checked out the site and got some good info.  Would be great if the two tracks could get a kart series going.  So you only have two classes atm right?  A stock class witch is anything that can run on gas and a Mod class ANY KART ON METHANOL AND/OR WITH A TILLOSON CARB WILL BE IN THE MODIFIED CLASS.

That is for SMS atm if im reading it right?

Can you post where people can get a cheap Kart to start?  I see your classifieds and the Karts listed in there are like wow expensive.  It seems these karts off ebay the ones I linked above are really well priced and prolly do great to have fun in.

I'm pretty sure Scott is not looking to run anything on a Sunday.  Rather just a filler for fun in the intermission.  If i could become a full class then that would be great.  I do think its something everyone wants to keep down in cost as must as possible.  I have been even thinking that it would be more like a sealed motor kinda deal if it were to get legs.  These first few races don't matter its just to test the waters to see if the interest is out there so the run what you brung will fit for now.

If you look at the mini dwarfs they all have to run a sealed engine and that class is growing and growing.  I feel some kinda of simple dirt kart class running a sealed engine with low cost would be great thing that will bring new fans and more revenue to the speedway.  It wont last unless its promoted though.  People have to know where to get karts and parts.  Resources and what not.

when did they do that? wow, and why.....

do 4 strokes only for the kartsand they will come 2stroke and 4strokes dont combine real well

BUMP, Scott said on another site that he is getting a LOT of people calling wanting to run Go Karts.  Looks like this might turn out to be a new house class.  

If you haven't added Scott / Bakersfield Speedway on Face book yet here is his link.
