I’m looking at making the jump from TaG to a Shifter.. I love TaG, and have ran very well over the years, but this year WKA Road Race folks changed the weights around in the Leopard class and dropped the weight from 390 to 375 to add the newer X30, I’m a bigger guy and was already going across the scale at 405/410 so it’s time to buy a X30 since I will weigh more than they have to with my little Leopard, and I don’t see being able to keep my Sonik going to race the TaG Heavy class since it’s getting really hard to find parts, sooooo why not make the switch since I’ve always wanted to try shifter racing???
I want to continue doing more Road Racing than anything, and the Stock Honda looks like the best route (for parts and maybe kart count), but I’m a little worried about the weight since I’m sure the shifter motor weighs a little more than my TaG (I’ve got a shifter frame already).. I’m thinking the weight difference won’t be a severe of a handicap running shifter, but maybe I’m wrong, so can someone throw in a thought about this..
Also, how big of a difference in motor rules are there between SKUSA and WKA, because it seems like all the motors for sale are SKUSA legal but never a mention of WKA??
Thanks, Quincy
