Just dropped a clone motor in one of my karts (bought 2 have about 20 laps and 40 hrs of wrenching so far. I'm excited to see that clones are racing at blue max. Everyone we have met so far at blue max has been great My boys are excited now just have to find a way to load both karts in one truck.
See ya there

Does the truck have a camper shell? If so that will be tough to get 2 in there. If not, there are several ways I have seen and / or done.
With no camper shell, you can try:
1) Standing karts on end, with straps holding them up against the cab. I am not sure if a clone can be set at that angle without fluids running out, check that first.
2) Build a rack from 2x4s that the legs fit between the nerf bars of the lower kart, while you stack another kart on top. Strap the whole mess down solid.
3) Both karts in the bed side-by-side, with the outer wheels kindof hanging out in the breeze. Each kart ends up at about a 45 degree angle.
4) Set both karts crosswise on the bed (only works on longbeds), usually best to point in opposite directions.
If you try three karts, only option 1 works.

Welcome to the NFRA Greg. I don't have much to add on the transportation question as Brad did a good job of going over the options. Do you think you'll be making the PC Xover?

Let me interpret for the new guys....
PC = Prairie City, a kart track in the middle of the Prairie City Off Highwy Vehicle Park near Folsom California.
Xover = Cross Over series race, a series where the Dixon, Davis, and PC members race at each other's tracks but get points in their own club's series too.
There is a crossover race Sunday 5/31 at Prairie City, that many of us are attending. Both Brads will be practicing there this weekend, Brad#42 on Saturday, Brad#9 on Sunday. There is no charge to come watch practice and chat us up.
