Re: Vintage kart racing at Atwater kart Club
Hi Jerry-
The Georgia Sprint Kart Association (club) based out of Barnesville, Ga has a vintage class. Currently, it is a run what you brung affair, but the club is vintage friendly. Michael Jackson was the solo entrant last year and it looks as if I maybe the solo entrant this year. Also, the Oreville Kart club in PA advertises Sunday races April to October.
Woodbridge Kart Club runs a vintage enduro series as does the Southern Kart Club (4 races a year @ Roebling Road). Ed Sahagian is the contact for SKC if anyone is interested. It would be great to see more interest in the vintage enduros, I got a chance to run in October and it was a BLAST. I ran Ed's Stinger with a 91 and it drug my big butt up plenty fast (I think Kurkowski was clocked about 65mph on the same kart the year before). Mark D'Ellia was there running his Hornet Maurader II with a 91 and Jeff May brought down a couple of really nice Margay's. There were 10 or 12 other guys running various Macs, West Bends and air-cooled motors. It was a very laid back and friendly affair with the emphasis being on fun and safety rather than racing. Ed is trying to grow the class so we can have a venue to run regularly, the bottom line is more interest = more track time.
<Shameless Plug> Hope everyone is planning to come down to Barnesville in March for the Vintage Winternationals. Last year there were approximately 40 karts and this year we hope to get MANY more.

Re: Vintage kart racing at Atwater kart Club
Jerry-
Are they running the short track for the vintage karts? When we used to do the demonstrations out there a few years back, it was hard to gear for the long track with the banked turns. I know it depends on kart count, but will sidewinders and rear singles be running together? I'm not sure that I can make all four, but I'd be open to hitting at least a couple of them.
Keep us posted on the dates-
