I don't think it would take a semi-trailer, carts are pretty little and
bunch would fit on a 6 place snowmobile trailer, and if there isn't room
you could always just throw them in a pile, (Now don't your pants in a
wad, I'm kidding about the pile thing.) Your T-handle idea is also right
on...I have seen them and they made them because it was not safe to drive
karts around in the pits.

I can't drive the horsepower I do have yet so that is not an issue. And if
I always have a horespower disadvantage I always have an excuse to lean on.
( I need that ) I also knew when I wrote this that some one would bring up
Joe Cheng and Gary Milligan. I think that what they have put togther is
the most wonderfully thought out and engineered "car" I have ever seen.
(for the purpose of solo racing) And they are both very talented drivers,
and really nice guys to talk to. (a real bonus to have all of those things)
However I doubt that any one has ever been standing there admiring the car
and said fire it up I want to here it run. I have been trying to figure
out how to watch them run the car and dub in the sound of a thundering CP
car for the best all around effect.
And rember folks opinions are like...you know what... and everyone has one.
This is just mine. Sometimes we take ourselves just a little to serious.
