After 30+ years of road race karting I'm getting talked into trying the dirt. Some buddies are trying to get a KT class going on 1/4 mile out here in Nor Cal. I've got an old Emmick straight rail Express chassis. I'm told on that big of a track it can work and that I won't need a jackshaft. What I need is chassis set up info or ideas. Corner weights, rear wheel offsets, tire sizes, spindle heights and things like that. I really want to go play with these guys and help them get this thing going. I can tune the motor but have no knowledge of how to make the chassis work in the dirt. I've got lots of asphalt parts and pieces, motors and clutches. Trying to get it going on the cheap to see if I like it while not looking the fool.
I really enjoy my superkart but it's just a lot of expense and time. A Yammi kart drug around in the bed of the truck playing in the dirt sounds much simpler and like a lot of fun. Any advice would be appreciated!
