KartRaiser Kart Stands
Need a new kart stand or just tired of wrestling with your kart? Full Bore Karting LLC, one of our partners at the Rock Island Grand Prix, has done it again.  The KartRaiser electric kart lifter has gotten even better.  The mobile electric winch-powered stand that started it all has a new twist.  They have added handles to the stand for the new style winch controls we are now using.  The new handles fold down flat so the stand takes up no more room than its original design.  It is still the strongest, most compact stand with a variety of options to fit your racing needs.  They build custom stands for virtually all types of karts - Sprint, Oval, HRC, Superkarts, Mini Dwarf racers and of course those who drive the Vintage Rupp, Chaparral, and Bug karts. See what’s new at  www.kartraiser.com 

Check out Lone Star Grand Prix
Don’t forget the new street race in Texas. The Texas Lone Star Grand Prix will be held March 17-18, 2012 at the site of the Cotton Bowl in Dallas Fair Park. Classes reportedly have good entry numbers. More information can be found at lonestargrandprix.us
