2334.0. "Seeking Karting publication" by MDS005::BELL () Tue Nov 01 1994 14:41

Greetings U.K.ers,

I hoping that one of you "kind" conference members can assist me in acquiring a
copy of the magazine "Kart and Superkart" (sometimes refered to as K&S).  I
believe that it is put out by Martin Hines's Zip Kart company.  If anyone is
willing to send me a recent issue I'll make it worth their while by sending them 
a 24" x 36" poster of the Mazda RX792P IMSA GTP car (got several as a result of
being on the design team).  I'm particularly interested in learing more about
the Formula E - Superkart class.  So any additional info would be greatly
appreciated.

    Hi Mike,
    
    The following is the address of the publishers of K&S, I hope it is
    correct as I got it from a book I got some years ago.
    
    Kart and Superkart Magazine Ltd.,
    Pindar Rd,
    Hoddesdon,
    Hertfordshire.
    
    You are right, it is put out by Martin Hines.
    
    Another magizine is "Karting", this is mainly for non gearbox karts so
    you may not be interested in it, but here is the address:
    
    Karting Magazine,
    Bank House,
    Summerhill,
    Chislehurst,
    Kent.
    
    You should be able to get these in WH Smith, I could get them in
    Ireland When I used to race karts a few yers ago. I dont have them
    anymore, so I cant send you any.
    
    
    The book I got the above info from should interest you, it is about
    125cc, 250cc Formula E karts etc and is from the Haynes "Drive It!"
    series of books. Its called "The Complete Book of Long Circuit
    Karting", ISBN 0 85429 4163, published in 1985.
    
    Hope this is of help,
    
    Kevin Lowe.

    Mike, I just noticed you are in the US, the addresses I gave you are in
    England.
2334.3Thanks for the infoMDS005::BELLTue Nov 08 1994 13:4612
Thanks Kevin,

The addresses will get me headed in the right direction.  I going to check
with the local bookstores and see if I can get a copy of "Long Circuit Karting".

As I mentioned in my initial request I wanted to send whoever helped a poster 
of the Mazda GTP car.  So if you would send me your address I'll get one
packaged up and sent to you.

Thanks again for the help.

Mike Bell
