the kart is a birel r32, i am 5 8 200, and the tires have to be a YHC compound tire and are 450x5 fronts and 710x5 rears

We have had several discussions about this in past forum postings. It would be helpful as to what model, what seat, what weight and height and which tires you will be using. Each driver is different, there is no substitute for hard work and testing. Certainly we will try to assist and point you in the right direction. Have you contacted your local shop to see if they have any set up seminars coming up? Thanks for your participation.

Feel free to give us a call at Motorama, we're probably the closest Birel dealer to New Castle, have a couple garages out there (where we do stock Birel/Freeline parts), and I have probably 10,000 laps a year out there...

Our "new" shop number & address are:
MKP
317-858-8888
463 Southpoint Circle #300
Brownsburg, IN 46112

Look forward to hearing from you!

Mike,

I wanted to thank you and Monte for the help saturday at NewCastle. I was a bit shook up after Beau got punted by the rental kart bending the axle and nerf bars. It was great to find some help close by. I still find it hard to believe we had to come back for a second axle that same day. Rough day for our first visit there, but we were able to get it all back together, twice, and make the race Sunday. I was really surprised they changed the course so drastically from practice to the race, really threw my driver off not running the course we practiced, is that normal down there?

Thanks again for all the help, parts and advise.
