This survey is designed to give us an overview of the engines used in karting as well as the engine builders out there, their popularity and the quality of their services. Such a survey is not easy, since there are so many different engines and engine builders in the US alone. The survey is therefore limited to the US and Canadian karters only (sorry to everyone else...).

Oh, and by the way, may I ask all of the engine builders who visit this page please NOT to participate? This survey is for the customers of engine builders only!

So please fill out the questionaire below, as complete as possible. If you don't know the answer to a question, just leave it blank. Your name and e-mail is not required and will not be collected. Your data will instantly be reflected in the overall survey results.

Please, only fill out the questionaire once, so that the results will not be skewed.

Thank you very much!

J. Brendel
