We are a state-of-the-art racing team using state-of-the-art equipment.
(1) We use computerized Lap Timing Software. This enables us to compare detailed lap times, lap speeds, and intervals between our karts and the competition. With this advantage, we are able to keep detailed records of every lap of every race. We use the data to see where our weak points are and where we need to improve. We are able to compare the data from week to week and track to track.
(2) We use computerized software for kart set-ups. Weight distribution is a critical area for handling. Without proper weight placement, a kart will not perform to the best of it's ability. This software assures us of the best possible configuration for maximum performance.
(3) We use Doppler Radar to get precise speeds of our karts and competitors karts. This allows us to see if we are off on our lap speeds and if so, at which point. Although laps times may be relative to that of the competitors, the use of radar allows us to see if we maintain traffic speeds through corners and on straights. With this edge, we are able to collect more data which allows us to make changes in different areas if need be.
Two 2000 shadows. These karts, in my opinion, are some of the best on the market.
One late 90's Speedster. This is a very dependable kart that handles real well.
Two late 90's Challengers. These karts are stable and very consistent.
We run mid 1980's to 2000 model equipment. The kart that started it all was an old 80's model Margay Sidewinder I bought and restored. From that we built TRG Racing. We now have:
(1) Numerous sets of tires and wheels. Tire size may have to be changed on karts as a night of racing progresses.
(2) Sets of sprockets. To change gear ratios on karts, axle sprockets have to be changed. Different sprockets have a different number of "teeth". This will raise or lower the drive ratio.
(3) Tools. Various tools are needed to maintain karts for racing. The collection of tools kept onboard our trailer would make some mechanics jealous.
(4) Driving Suits. Special racing jackets, gloves, neck collars, and helmets are required for every driver. These safety items are essential to make this sport safe for ALL.
(5) Power Acc. Most racing is performed at night. Power generators are required to run lighting, power tools and air compressors.
(6) Misc Items. Fuel, oil, cleaners ect. are a necessary. Without these items a night of racing turns into a nightmare.
And lets not forget, 6 karts.
Traveling is part of this endeavor. We transport our karts and equipment from the shop here at TRG Racing to the various tracks via a 20 foot Haulmark enclosed trailer. Onboard you will find:
The engines used are special Briggs and Stratton 5hp engines built especially for racing. These engine are then tore down and modified to increase horsepower and torque for the appropriate class that it will be run in.
