Dave, I've been road racing kart for a while, set a couple of lap records and won my share of races, and yes on all but the longest tracks, the 125's should be faster. What I was reffering as far as karters is the younger 100cc guys, and maybe even 4 cycle karts. These karts have much less hp than the shifters, but still require the same skill level.. Didn't we discuss this not too long ago??? And Dave, the reason none of the shifter guys consider F500, is because, there's no shifter!!! Again, if the F500 were the cross over class from karting, then I think some of the shifter guys might consider it. Chris R.

At our local Northern California track, Thundhill (15 turns, 3 miles), the F500 lap record is a 1:53; same as the track's 125cc shifter lap record and slower than the 250cc shifter record of 1:48.
