4/ or 2/ wot d'you think ? Ok the big question four strokes or two strokes I'm backing four strokes obviously but lets hear your views.

TKM 2/ Vs TKM 4/ Ryan, 2/ by far is the better class. You need to be a smoother driver to drive a 2/ than a 4/. The 2/ dont have the grunt out of the corners like a 4/, so you have to be smooth and dont make so many mistakes, 4/ have the grunt to pull you out of those mistakes, and 2/ punish you.
There is good and bad in both classes, but if you put the top 15 4/ drivers and the top 15 2/ drivers in indentical karts 2/ or 4/, there would be more 2/ drivers finishing in the top 10 than 4/ drivers. Thats my opinion and i would love to see it happen as well. It would be great for Talko to try and organise an event like this.

I understand what your saying ive driven a minimax and other two strokes and they are less forgiving. What do you drive? Anyways I think the reason that there are more people in two stroke is because more tracks support two strokes and not enough is done to publisise four strokes.

I think that if you had 15 prokarters and 15 2 strokers in the same race the prokarters would take a clean sweep - the 2 strokers would be in the nearest hedge :P
they are 2 very different disciplines - each with their own values
4 strokes teach you to minimise mistakes and maintain momentum while 2 strokes teach you more about keeping things under control while you are on the very edge of grip and adhesion

Well considering that it takes almost 1/2 hour for the engine to come on song I can't see your argument Henry.
There's one certainty with most 2T classes: the FACT that it will kick the back out because of the power delivery. You have to learn to control that kick as it comes every time the engine hits certain revs!
Yes you have to be much smoother on the bends with the Prokarts but that's because being so heavy, you have to carry the weight through, if you make a mistake it will cost you dearly.
After that you have plenty of time to read the map before the next bend! With the 2T's is like being on a roller-coaster, holding with dear life and anticipation waiting for the next loop to come by!
It would be interesting to see that 15-Pro's vs. 15-2T's challenge. My money is on the 2T side btw! I reckon it depends a lot on what would be driven!

The challenge should be on - MINI MOTOS!!!!!!!

That would be interesting, although how will you get some of those 15Pro's to squat down that low might be the bigger mystery! Heeeeheeeeeheeee!
It looks like the first employment might be on lawn mowers the following Wednesday. I'm hoping to partner Jeremy in Gwyn's organised endurance race! If we don't win I'll have the chance of blaming it on Jer! :oops:
