While many of you knew that we were trying to ramp up production of an off road racing kart, we were actually just about to start. Then one day, out of the blue, our future competitor called us. Yes, Trophy Kart. These are the guys that sold over 500 of these karts out west and they have a huge following since 2006. Needless to say, they had heard about us and what were were about to do. So, they made us an offer that, actually, we'd be stupid not to take. To join them and become a distributor for them in the Appalachian region. So, we at SHRP/ProKart are proud to announce that we are now a part of Trophy Kart. We will be setting up a network of dealers/retailers through out the entire appalachian region, from Ga up to Pa. We are currently seeking out other race tracks and trails systems that will host our racing series. From short course to the mountain "baja" endurance type races. These Trophy Karts will come in 2 sizes. The origional TK and the new TK200RS. The RS is a bit larger and has a door. :) For us bigger fellers and dads that want to share the same kart as with the kids. The origional will have the JR1 engine(13HP) for the kids and still have available the 250cc and 450cc racing motorcycle engine(Yam,Kaw,Honda, Suz). The 200RS, while a bit bigger, will have a custom designed 200cc racing engine. It also can host the other engines as well.
So, look forward to future announcements and information. Dealer inquiries welcome. The future of racing is not coming, It's HERE!!!

I dont have all the rules set yet, but I believe they will start at about 8. Possibly younger.

Great. Justin Matney at RPM Off Road will be doing the prep on these vehicles. Getting them ready for delivery to dealers. I dont have any dealers yet, but we are planning to host a demnonstration, hopefully, by the end of next month. I will post when and where that event takes place so everyone can come out and see these little beast. :) I think I'm more excited than anyone to get in them and see how they do.
