Mike,answer to your question varies,with me it's a matter of flushing out the alcohol /nitro (this must be done after every race day) with gas/oil mix or in the case of winter storage,I don't prep the motors as this is the time they all get torn down & freshened up.
The chassis doesn't require any prep as mine are kept in a heated shop & the only thing I do is to clean off the tires with a wire brush,deflate them to 8-10 lbs (keep the bead seated) and wrap them with Saran Wrap (especially if you treat them) The chassis will get a good inspection looking for any cracks,worn bushings,rod ends,wheel bearings ect. Brake pads will get replaced & fluid changed. And of course any "war wounds" will be fixed.
Hope this helps!

Thank's for the reply, thinking about making rolling racks like you would hang clothes on . they need to be stacked.

Mike,Sorry about the wrong reply as I mis-understood what you were asking! So you need to know where to put all the karts now that they started multiplying? Stacking them is the only way to go short of a bigger garage. You can make some very simple yet strong racks by going to Home Depot & buying a couple of 2x4"s and a box of 2"long course thread drywall screws. Use carpet to cover the 2x4's where the kart frame sets on. I have not come across anything commercially available that you could just buy that would work.

Steve,Web site would be http://www.orevillekartclub.org If you go on the http://www.ofik.org website be sure to click on "photos" and watch the helmet cam videos,they'll give you an idea of the track.
Hey,any Sunday is great,and believe me you'll have a great time as the people here very helpful with both needed parts & knowledge. Remember we run modern karts & a clone class too! So you can bring your other kart too! It would be great to have you as a regular and I think once you come out here,you'll be back. I know....We'll get Dave L. to come down & he can pick you up on his way thru!! What do ya think Dave?
