DD2 Project

[Garry Lobaugh]

We have received official word at last from Rotax. The DD2 engine will come through the U.S. distributors and not through the Kart factories. To make proper planning you will need to advance program your orders with the respected supply source in your area.

If you do not have a relationship, then call Steve and give me your indications for the year as to what you want for the DD2 products. As you know this is a two step process. First we need chassis and second we need motors. These will be advance order items. You can speculate with one half or the other. But I urge you to let us know if you are going to be doing anything at all with this project.

I have 6 chassis sitting in Three Oaks at the moment. I have 6 motor ordered last November with my supply house. I think I will have 1 for the KMI show for demo. That kart is for sale.

If you feel strongly that this is amarket that you want to promote, then it is important to let us know now. I have had to cancle some of my DD2 kart production to make room for other karts that are selling. Thus I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling because of the Rotax side of this program. They flat out haven't been communicating until today. At least not with me.
The honest answer they gave our factory is that production should be available the first of March. Will your supply source be willing to fly motors in like I flew karts in December? Time will tell. Action speaks all the rest walks.
