This week on Pit Pass, we’re talking about a busy race calendar, new products, prototype builds, restocks, Roast My Ride, and what’s happening behind the scenes at GoPowerSports.
Race weekend is here
Tillotson T4 at KartMoto
The Tillotson T4 racers are headed to KartMoto in Cresson, Texas. We break down the weekend, the racing, and what to watch for when the karts hit the track.
Mini Mayhem vs. Southern Scramble
Two major minibike events land on the same October weekend. Southern Scramble brings Friday-night flat track action and a Saturday three-hour endurance race, while Mini Mayhem brings its own community and riding experience.
Tell us whether you’re headed to Mini Mayhem or Southern Scramble—and what makes your choice the better weekend.
New products and restocks
The new Megalodon chopped frames are now available, giving builders a simpler starting point for their next project. We also cover the latest Minibikin’ Ain’t Eazy foam trucker hats and the products that are back in stock:
Mini Bike Storage Box Mount
A practical way to add storage to your minibike build.
Rascal GT Mini Bike Frame
The frame behind Luis Gonzalez’s unforgettable Roast My Ride build.
40 Series Torque Converter Bolt-On Kit
A bolt-on torque-converter setup for 8–18 HP engines.
Bolt Go-Kart Kit
Single-seater Bolt Go-Kart kits are back, with tire options coming soon.
Tire options for the Single Seater Bolt Go-Karts are also on the way.
Browse GoPowerSportsInside the prototype garage
The double-seater Bolt go-kart prototypes are being assembled now, with the Bolt Trike next in line. We also show off the idea of heavy-duty push scooters for the new shop—built to last, built for real use, and potentially available to customers if enough riders want one.
Would you buy a two-seat Bolt, a Bolt Trike, or a truly heavy-duty push scooter? Let us know what should be built next.
Community, books, and the Boyd headquarters
We revisit Luis Gonzalez’s unforgettable Roast My Ride-winning Rascal GT, talk about revisions to Lil Rascal’s Big Race Day Book, and share that the second book is already in development.
Meanwhile, the Boyd, Texas headquarters continues to move forward as the team works toward a September move-in. The new space will give GoPowerSports more room for product development, filming, testing, and the minibike community.
