2/1/07 - Newspaper Articles For sometime now, Ken Seeber of STRIKE PRODUCTS has been writing karting articles for WA’s only daily newspaper, “The West Australian”. As it happened, this newspaper had developed a very positive and broad attitude to motoring in general, including a range of motorsport features every Wednesday.
Recognising that karting plays very important and significant role in motorsport, the paper was very keen to include a regular section just on karting. So began a series of regular fortnightly karting articles that continue to this day.
The focus of these articles is the fun, family, learning and development aspects of karting, always with a positive slant, combined with an explanation of how karts and karting works. The articles are not limited to just sprint karting. On the other hand, it has been intentional to not include general race results and importantly, no politics.
Subjectively, it is considered that these articles have been beneficial for karting in WA. Please feel free to plagiarize if you might consider doing something similar. Click Here to go to Features Page. |
14/12/06 - STRIKE Socket Adapters  Ever had a 125 TAG kart on the out-grid and it didn’t start because the battery was flat? That used to mean that you missed out on the race. The solution is to put a hole through the RH side pod and carry a STRIKE drive adapter. Next time it doesn’t start, grab a yellow STRIKE starter from a fellow karter, snap in the drive adapter and externally start your engine.
These come in two styles: One converts from 17 to 19mm A/F and the other from 19 to 17. They are colour coded as per the starter output shafts for quick visual identification.
The adapters are securely constrained in the starter shaft socket with double O-rings. |
