My recent trip to the EU Champs was my first multi-day racing experience on a beach. |

Jimi, BTW, I saw the PIC of Santa and helper all dressed in red. Should become the standard blokart racing garb, yes? I like it. |

For my bearings (I use standard stainless steel for the beach), I pop the seals when I am cleaning the kart with the water blaster, and do the bearings too, air blast them (I use compressed air... |

However, if you’re getting sand, salt and grit into your mast-crane-bearing……..you’re just doing too many wipe-outs. |

Jono, Thanks for clearing that up for me. Any plans to adapt that to the rears? My limited experience on the beach seems to indicate they might be most helpful. MM |

Dave, From my understanding all blokart battens are made to the same specification but they are hand sanded so there is slight variations in each batten. |

Garry, the only thing that keeps the grease in my bearings when I could not even make the BBC prize giving is reading mailspaces. |

From my observations and personal experience, even standard Blokart battens perform differently from Blokart to Blokart. Are they truly built and shaped to the exact same specifications? |

Hi Mike, The 2006 blokart front wheel has been developed to carry a hubcap over the wheel nut that’s what you saw on some front wheels at the nz open. |

I agree with the 1 Design ruling so as to keep the sport on a level playing field, but I hope this sport does not become bound by the politics of rules that the fun goes from the sport. |

Hi Bruce, I’m glad you raised these points, particularly the “Olympic” concept of one design. You are not alone. And I’m sure blokart international would be interested in embracing this! |

Hi Grant, I have some time on my hands so I thought I would contribute – apologies for personal references to your karting ability On the issue of even playing fields – please don’t regulate... |

<< black cape and ftat-brimmed hat! >> Grant, Add a rapier and black eye mask and you have the makings of a "B" movie remake. (B is for "Bad" or "Blokart"—your choice) |

Hi Mike, I personally prefer a black cape and ftat-brimmed hat! All that furry stuff gets caught in the bearings, and that’s not safe. |

Greetings Mike, Standard seals shouldn’t have this problem, as you describe it, unless the wear-and-tear process is “assisted” a bit. |
Jimi at HiWiNZ | 18 December 2006 01:21 |

Russell, Thanks for your feedback. I talked to a non-Blokarter engineer friend of mine. His perspective is to try and "double seal" the bearings whenever grit and/or sand is a problem. |
Mr Blokart America | 17 December 2006 05:27 |

Hi Mike, Well done on your Euro success. For the beach I go back to stainless bearings as supplied by blokart or the cheap equivalent and make sure seals are tight. |

What does it take to run a successful blokart event? |

Clean the sand and salt water out of your bearings for the first race day of the ABC Winter series this coming Sunday (22 April). |

Mike – fantastic footage! What I can’t believe is that you have this place to yourselves. Oh how I wish we had a spot like that. |

Originally sent by: Grant Well perhaps our Aquada Mk II attempts need a little refinement! Pity I forgot to put the bung in the dirt skirt. |
