I've been watching it, volume maxed, about once an hour since I found it yesterday.



I tell you, I'm just sitting here giggling and scheming.... people in the office are wondering what my issue is.



Do you think there might be some sort of therapy for this sort of thing?

I spent some time racing shifter karts in WKA and SKUSA, before I got seriously into motorcycle racing.



I'm thinking that a modern, lightweight 600 (or 636) cc inline-4 would be the engine of choice. Still well over 100hp, but lighter and much less torque stress on the chassis, than that old GSX-R 1100 mill in the Gixxer Kart. Torque doesn't seem to be something the kart would need that much of, seeing as there is already "on demand" wheelspin with just a wimpy little 39hp 125cc two stroke TM race motor in a typical shifter kart.



I'm thinking a crude but modern interpretation of a 1970's tube-framed Cosworth DFV powered F-1 car, but on a 50% scale, but way less than 50% of the weight. Properly set-up and driven, I'm thinking I could make a credible attempt at a sub 1:10 lap at Willow Springs.



Somebody please help me, before I start hitting the junk yards and end up hurting myself.
