well i race these babys (pic attached) yes as you can see twin engine hire karts lol, if only i could afford to own and race something like a tkm. i do an hour enduro (2 drivers) once a month with a bunch of guys from work and freinds, also have the odd practice session and also raced in the last bayford 50, technically i shouldnt be racing twins(supposed to be 18 lol) but ive proven i can handle them and am reasonably quick, especially as ive only done 3 races and am already up with the guys who have been doing it for years. i want to take it further but the chances of that are slim, but one can only hope lol. hopefully i may be doning the lemans 24 hour kart race next year as part of the college team which should be a good laugh.

also i maybe buying the helmet of the guy behind

ive got another race this friday(penultimate one this year) and if i trust my dad with my camera there may be some pics of me racing

edit: helps if i attach the pic lol, oh and as youve probably worked out not me in the other kart, i was the one taking the pic lol

Sure, if you say so.

Unfortunately I don't have the money to own a car at the moment, let alone race one. I DID have a 1996 ford escort, but it wasn't a likely candidate for racing being automatic, and it was alot more fun to do time trials on my vintage honda dirt bike at the time.

I love my 81' Honda XL125s, it needs alot of work, but for being a bike thats known to be underpowered it somehow still destroys my friends modern 125.

The closest I've ever gotten to racing was those time trials, basicaly a rally race, 6km of open trails including solid stone paths through a decomissioned quary.

I've been lucky to have only fallen once, at low speed. Hit tractor ruts at night doing 20km/h. (not racing, I'm not crazy enough to over drive the headlamp) Other than that the only close call I've had was hitting a very large rock accelerating after a turn, I was doing about 40km/h and the front wheel glanced off it. The front of the bike lifted and the handel bars twisted to the left, I didn't even think about correcting it, it just happened and I never even let off the throttle.

My bike only does about 120km/h gear limited, but thats plenty of speed for the trails, most times I don't even make it to 5th, and there are very few areas that stretch me to 6th.

Don't ask me for exact times though, I've never actualy recorded it, just done it for fun. When I get my racing buggy built (if I do) I'll probably see about entering rally with that.
