"As I was saying go kart racers will buy into anything. "

Do yourself a favor and don't say that anymore. Not only is that statement rediculous it can be said about any form of racing.

"How much prep does it take to hook up a single cylinder 5 Horsepower Motor."

Prepping tires has very little to do with the amount of horsepower or engine size. (I.e. Prepping front tires is just as important as prepping rears if not more important)

"The Snake Oil people are big Kart supporters? "

WHAT????


"you can't have both traction and long life no matter what they tell you. "

Spinning tires wear better than non spinning tires?

"They would probably be pushing traction control on Karts but every time the TC Killed a cylinder to stop wheel spin the poor guy would have to get out and restart his race car."

Why do you hate kart racing so bad? I don't get the continuous cheap shots. Maybe you should attend one of the Burriss events or one like it.

"Traction control is secret so all they have to do is imply that so and so is using it, maybe start a rumor"

You should learn a bit more about TC. It takes a talented driver to even gain an advantage with it. It also can easily be a big disadvantage. It's not going to take your average racer and put him in the W column. In the right hands yes, it would be like an active steady home run hitter adding steroids to their game. Like steroids it should be banned!

P.S. Your previous comment about a hone being used on karts to bore out the inside diameter of the header pipe was total BS also. I think what you're referring to was removing any carbon build up or surface rust from week to week to create a smoother exhaust flow. The flowbench proved this to be a small benefit back when straight pipes were popular.
