Gary,
You are a man after my own heart.
Redds is good, but as you no doubt realize, I tend to bring another sort of refreshment to share with my buds at vintage events.
Oh, and I do all my "am I as fast as I used to be?" testing at Blue Max racing modern karts. It's quite a bit harder on the old bod (3 G's in the turns), but it does kind of "tune me up" for vintage events.
I drive like hell at vintage events, but never aggressively. I love it when I can get on the track with a comparable kart & driver and run hard together, like with Johnny Law or Rob Caldeira. Apparently the bystanders enjoyed Rob and I doing sessions together in single SAE's at the last vintage event at Blue Max.
Everyone should build it like they like, but it can be fun to listen to suggestions. I was going to put my O'Hara/Mendoza 91A on my original and perfect Sears Orange Krate until I was encouraged to keep that kart 100% original.
Ciao!
