I see the helicopter and ambulances taking guys away EVERY time I'm at the track roadracing the bikes. This karting stuff is like racing shopping carts. Pretty tame. But, still a lot of fun and I really enjoy sliding the thing around the track.

yeah the ykc's were terrible. Even try MG yellows if you get the chance, they are great. The crashes and racing I have seen from racing all around the US and Canada has been intense. At the nationals there always seems to be a lot of flipping. Even in the mini classes, at new castle nats last year the minis flipped at the finish almost every time. The full size bumpers dont seem to be helping. Finished 8th in the rotax srs nationals prefinal, and got up to 5th in the final until i was hit off, looking forward to this year...

And if its hot out dont be afraid to drop pressures to between 8-10 to keep them from going off towards the end of the session. A small nitrogen tank is a worthy investment, keeps everything more consistent.
