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.

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.

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.
