Finalized Race Schedules for National Organizations

New Links Page(s) - this is part of a collaborative effort among some of the other great karting sites to provide the karter with a consistently updated and well organized directory to use.

Racing news from WKA and Tulsa events.

Restructured Kartweb Forum - the KW forum has always been provided as a source to get answers to technical questions.  There are some really great chat forums on the web and we don't have any desire to take away from them.  Keeping up with all the different forums in providing answers to technical questions is more work for us.  This will become more evident with the increased focus we place in 2004 on technical articles.

Updated TAG information.  The new rulebook is being written, with manufacturer testing planned in January.  The technical specifications are pretty much complete and will be made available on-line.  The TAGUSA Rules are very similar to last year in nature, but will have some minor changes as a result of testing and enhanced clarification.  TAGUSA is planning to launch a separate organizational website hopefully in January.

King of the Hill - Every year Kartweb takes a look back at the top organizations to get an idea of who really put on the best racing of the year.

Part 2 (Tuning) will be coming in February and deals with induction systems (Carbs/Reeds) Pipe/Silencer tuning, Ignition Curves, and detonation.  We felt this information should be part of the subscriber benefits then to simply re-sell CD's separately.
