Is this the answer for the SORRA minni buggy guys ? Good on Rick & Vern for having a go.

Will there a class for us big kids???

jones off road · Rehab Dropout...

Apparently the 200RS USA version is adult sized and an opening side door!

As one of the guy's who build, fund and race his own buggies, I'd be interested to see what a turn key Trophykart would set you back. They be a lot of fun to drive and would make a great junior class. ( maybe we can sneak a Busa motor into one for the big juniors)!!!!

biggrin

The RS450 Mod would be the go. Where are they planning on racing them ? My young bloke is more than interested.

jones off road · Rehab Dropout...

Apparently CAMS has not got anything organised yet, but I am assuming that once everything is going and demand is there that they might get the message (as we all know we cant expect too much from cams, after all this has been discussed for years now....easier to race on tar with no seatbelts in a go cart at 100kph....sorry there goes my sarcasm again). But, there are some very motivated people at present, and if it means a CAMs breakaway, then so be it....but my kids will be there!

Has anyone obtained pricing ?

Webmaster · Rehab Dropout...

I am very interested. Is CAMS going to look at organising a class for these before people buy them??

Would love to know whats happening with them.

jones off road · Rehab Dropout...

There is pricing, just contact trophykarts australia. Probably a bit more expensive than hoped for, but a much better product than the originals.
CAMS have still not done anything (as far as I know), guess they are not interested in us off roaders (easier to take our money and invest it in tarmac), but....the people involved have been pushing as hard as they can, and a series will happen whether it involves CAMS or not!

Webmaster · Rehab Dropout...

Is Vern doing adult sized karts.

what exactly has CAMS approved, what ages car race them and where

I know alot of questions lol

trophykart australia · Newbie

Hi to everyone
the questions are a) do we want to race trophy karts in Australia
b) kids only or should all ages be allowed
c) cvt clutch only or faster karts with gear boxes
if the answer to do we want to race is yes ,we need to let cams know
how do we do that ?
do we start a petition ?
I know that i for one cant wait to race and my son is 10yo and he has been patiently waiting two years.

You can race trophy karts in Australia with cams, the karts just need to fit in with the rules that were set up by cams and Paul Simpson 3 years ago.

jones off road · Rehab Dropout...

I dont think CAMS have allowed kids to drive, have they?
I realise that a car can be built within the CAMS rules, but whats the point if kids cant drive them!

This was in the november 2010 AORCOM minutes.

4. MATTERS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES
4.1 Trophy Karts
The Chairman, Mr Erceg wanted to update the Commission on his investigations into Trophy Karts both here and in the U.S. Mr Erceg believed the proposed Australian specification Karts would be the safer way to proceed due to various reasons including safety specs. Mr Erceg envisaged Trophy Karts being speed limited and aimed at Juniors as a great way to foster young talent into the sport much the same way go-karts do for racing. Mr Erceg noted that U.S specification Trophy Karts would still be acceptable to compete as long as safety specifications were met as per the requirements and regulations. Also, some form of parity must be implemented to ensure both Aus and U.S spec Karts are not advantaged in any way.

Anyone wanting to read the full minutes try this link.

Cams can only implement what the off road commission brings to them, the correct way to get anything done is take it to your club who will then take it to the state panel via your club reps then the state rep will take it to a meeting of the off road commission , if it is succesful then cams will get involved..
If everyone wants trophykarts contact your club or state reps in writing.

I think cams will not pass the imported 200rs models because the are made from exhaust tube.
Aussie offroad karts are 100% chromoly tube.

trophykart australia · Newbie

trophykarts made in the usa are made from 100% chromoly or toughened steel, clients choice depending on budget and opinion

Webmaster · Rehab Dropout...

Hey all, I just spoke to Vern from Kadco and I am now more than excited about Trophy Karts.
The prices were nowhere near as scary as I thought they were going to be and there are options of engines to suit your budget.

And it seems we are VERY close to seeing something in print from CAMS.

I can't wait, just gotta stop falling pregnant now, or wait for the littlies to be old enough to race.

Do you know whats causing this ?????

Seriously though - what are the options and prices that will be available ?

Webmaster · Rehab Dropout...

Give Vern a call, he is happy to chat. Not really my place to put the details up without his permission

They have held back alot of details so far but will be releasing more info once the publications have been made, I will also be adding the info here once its out there.

Great value and I am very excited about seeing them out there

Blacky- think its something in the water causing the pregnancies, better stick to bottled water now LOL
