The third and fourth one look like pro shots but with the twist, the pro's are kids in mini racecars.

really hope this is the sign of things to come for you - as ever your motorsprt shots are great - glad they are generating some hard earned towards the D2X

Little note - sorry to be the pedant - had a look at your site - there is a typo on the home page - in the section where you give the code for smugmug - you have mispelt 'sign'

Excellent as usual from you, but the last one is the real standout. Tells a story.

Great pics as usual John. I keep meaning to go down to the local kart tracks and take some pics as well.

Wendell, the only kiddie pic in that series that BBJ posted is the last one. The others are all adults. These things are serious race cars and I know that at least several circuits here in NZ have absolute lap records held by super-karts.

John, have you ever raced one?? More fun than a bike in some ways and screwing up is generally much less painful :lol:
Smile; it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

Robboh, I used to race dirt karts, same as the bituemen but with dirt tires and less rules as dirt karts you can do anything to the motors as long as you didn't change the external appearance, good fun but these racers there is too many rules and regs and CAMS is involved.


Mudder: I printed a couple of pic for that young bloke and gave them to him today he liked them, big grin on his face.

Hi Alex, these shots look ok as well, see theres a bit of stone off the track but yeh they good to watch, hard to make them look like they are not sitting still. I used to race dirt Karts many years ago and that was fun but never have a go at these ones i guess to much crap involved pluss i like the idea of sliding around and getting down and dirty.
