NEAT STUFF

NEW LINE OF TYRES
Savatech d.o.o., based in Slovenia, has just introduced a line of kart tyres for race, Enduro and rental karts in slick and rain versions in various compounds. Contact the U.S. distributor of Sava Tyres, A&R Trading Company, by phoning 800-582-1858 or contact them by e-mail at jason@artrade.us.

GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT!
A driver’s helmet is a very important piece of equipment. Many of the helmets drivers use cost hundreds of dollars… before the first drop of paint is splashed on it! Once that trick paint scheme, which reflects you personality, is applied, it becomes even more important to keep it looking good. This bag will hold virtually every helmet used in karting. Many bags will not hold a helmet with a wing or wicker bill and still get it closed up. Take care of your lid when you’re not racing by putting it in a helmet bag from Team Valhalla! Visit them and order online at www.valhallaracing.com.

NEW PIT SHOE KICKS BUTT
Mechanix Wear offers the M-70 Pit Shoe for your pit crew! Made from leather reinforced for lateral support, the M-70 shoe has the quick lace loop system, a compression molded EVA sole and superior air flow for comfort. Available in US sizes 7 through 12. See your Mechanix Wear dealer or www.mechanix.com. You can call them at 800-222-4296, too.

EASY SEAT MOUNTING
Birel Seat Mounting Tool Kit includes adjustable plate that mounts to underside of frame to locate seat bottom relative to frame. Also includes adjustable seat back placement tool (not pictured) that easily adjusts to distance desired from rear axle. This tool ensures professional seat mounting results. Contact MRP Racing at www.mrpmotorsport or call ‘em at 269-756-9133.

THE MOD WHEEL
The Circle Wheel modular rims provides racers with a multitude of choices for offsets and wheel widths at economical prices. And you can replace just one half if you rub wheels and damage the outer half. A bead hump helps keep your tires beaded up during hard cornering. Sealing is accomplished either by stretching one of our custom-extruded soft o-rings around the wheel after assembly, or by placing a O-Seal between the rim halves. Available from Target Distributing at 574-272-0252 or on the web at www.targetdistributing.net.

FAST AND SIMPLE!
California-based Courtney Concepts has designed a Chain/Sprocket Alignment Tool to keep things straight! The ‘Patent Pending’ tool is easy to use: Simply clip on to the axle sprocket, slide the rod out and align with the engine sprocket. The new tool enables you to align your chain correctly to reduce wear on chain and sprockets. For #35, #219 and #428 chain.
