A buddy of mine was on the race team a Wash U and there's a huge community for that kind of cart.  His competitions were collegiate based so they had restrictions on motors, i.e. <600cc, 40mm throttle bodies, etc.  They had to figure out other ways to make it quick like frame and suspension design, gearing (the 900 kart has got to have a 50+ tooth gear on the back) tires,  and so on. 


are you thinking of formula sae?

That sounds about right.  SIU had one too.  All in all it seemed pretty interesting, but when I'd try and talk to any of the team about the car all I got was a heavy dose of rejection shrouded in superiority complex.  I'm just an art student, what would I know about engines??

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Looks like a real good way to get dead to me.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Someone should stuff an old Suzuki GS1150 engine in one of those things.  Instant carnage.
