Shawn89 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Started building a dirt oval wedge kart a few months ago to start racing this summer.

Shawn89 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 There's tracks all over Ohio. I'll most likely be racing at Vinton county fairgrounds and Jackson county. Probably be at ceasers creek allot to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn89 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I guess I could have gave a little info on the engine it's a 420cc fully forged internals, ported head, 65lbs valve springs and billet retainers. 33mm mikuni carb and runs on alcohol. Will have roller rockers tomorrow due to a few bent pushrods from stamped rocket arms not taking rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecc_33 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hell yea. Love the sound of those big block's. Im very jealous. Sold all my stuff last summer after having our first child. For anyone that hasn't seen a dirt oval kart race. You owe it to yourself to go watch one. Very competitive racing! What do you think that engine is making hp wise? Around 40ish?

I'd say between 30 and 40hp. I'll just take that as a complement. Once the crap weather stops I'll post what track in going to on the weekends and Invite everyone down it's cheap family type entertainment. So far ceasars creek looks like a fast nice track.
