Daytona Kartweek 2021 Superkart 250 PVP 142 MPH with rear view!

This was race 4 on 12-30-21. I got a good start and jumped out to a good lead, but my exhaust gas temps (EGTs) were climbing rapidly as I accelerated down the back stretch. I felt a loss of power and pulled the clutch in to save the motor. It's a real bummer because the kart was running great and I think I had a competitive shot at doing well. That's racing!

Due respect for your talent and efforts. I ran the shifter kart road course circuit in the early 2000’s doing about five or six races a season. VIR, Road Atlanta, Charlotte, and a lot of very smaller road courses which were more fun in some regards as I camped at all circuits in my 6’x10’ hauling trailer. Your kart and competition was, in my opinion, the ultimate experience. It drew the few and far between that had the mechanical skills, tools, time, talents of many variety, and finances and could hand make a rocket. It was sometimes only an audible tremor behind me that warned me of the impending pass, to put it politely. Good luck. Grin big.

Going 140mph down a straight and casually adjusting something on the screen was absolutely nerve racking to watch. I have no idea why but jesus that was wild. 1:51

So what engines do the enduro laydown karts use? I have a frame and I want to get into them…

Paulie, I have some footage of you down the main straight . Will look for it and send it your way. See in in Daytona

What would cause your exhaust gas temps to climb like that? Would that be an exhaust valve issue normally?

Old karter's adage....engines always run strongest just before they blow have a good attitude about it.

Damn that concrete wall is close if your engine or tyre fails

Racing Daytona is incredibly boring…. Al about horsepower and the draft out of T4
