Ryan won two more WKA Manufacturers Cup finals last weekend; 1 in HPV light (virtually the same set up that we used in Dousman with a few variations that I will attempt to post later on in the weekend) and 1 in Sr Sportsman Light. Ryan also managed 2 seconds in both HPV Heavy and Sr. Sportsman Heavy finals (set fast time in qualifying) as well as a 4th in Yamaha Light.
Here is the Sr. Sportsman Light set up:RX30 SE 1040x50x2 F axle up with middle bearing tight. 85mm rear hubs, Freeline Magnesium Wheels at 54". No side rail, long front bar, spindles up (standard), 75mm front hubs with one thick spacer wide. .5 Degree caster out of both sides, 2mm toe out, camber straight up. Seat at 60, 61, and 20.5 with the bottom of the seat just below the frame rails. No additional seat stays at all in the light category yet I installed them for the heavy kart. This was the only difference in set up between the two categories-I was going to switch to a harder axle and knock the middle bearing loose in heavy, but, everything ran so well that I didn't bother.
