The world of racing is bracing and exciting. Millions of viewers tune in to watch Indy cars and NASCAR cars fly around turns on television every year. Not everyone will be able to slide into the seat of a race car and know the intense feelings that come from making a move through the infield or the mere sensation that is breed from speed. Many people have found an outlet for such desires. It’s called shifter cart (or kart) racing and tuning.

The shifter cart is often falsely associated with go carts. This view could not be any further from the truth. Shifter carts are designed to function like a race vehicle. They can be extremely fast, easily hitting speeds of 100 miles per hour. Shifter carts are extremely agile given their size. Most carts have 150cc engines, but there are smaller ones at 125cc and larger ones at 250cc. Some carts are built, while others are manufactured and sold retail.

Shifter carts with a 250cc engine are often the size that is raced on the competitive circuit. Though there are a number of children that compete in the sport, adults and parents do so as well. The sport itself is just a step down from motorsports, but very comparable in many aspects. In order to race, drivers need to be age 8 and older and be licensed. It is a sport that seems to have everything for everyone.

In order to race on the competitive circuit, you must become a member of the International Kart Federation (the governing body of the sport), file an application for a license, and pay the fees associated with the two. Events will have entry fees specific to themselves with will also be required.

Football Display Cases Help Carry Forth the Great Traditions

While college football teams and NFL stadiums are doing even more these days with display cases (read this at lubbockonline.com: “Past comes alive with new Tech football display cases”), you don’t need high-tech visuals for a potent effect.You can take a page from fancy visuals like these, though, and pretty affordably too. Here are some ideas that you can use with football themed display cases:

Images from the past

Use your in-home tech center, i.e., your computer, and scan photos onto your computer where you can adjust them with editing software. Or take them to your local office supply or printer shop for help. You can have a high-resolution image blown up to fit the back of a display case. Alternately, print up copies of favorite images and create a collage in the display case, provide a visual backdrop to your football, helmet, or mini football helmet collection. Have display case dimensions on hand as needed when ordering images.

Tell the story

Get the story down in writing for posterity. If you’re displaying a football helmet or football, tell the story. If you’re not keen on writing, ask someone to type it up for you. You can even record it for them and let them work their magic. Take the time to review it before you print and post, since everyone who passes by the display will have the opportunity to read it. Tell like you remember it and make it your own. Everyone loves a good story. Add an image or two to complete the display.

Make it visible

Consider lighting and placement when you set up your football display. Cases should be positioned so that you don’t have to bend over or work around obstacles to get a good look. Mount special lighting if that will help you make the most of your display.

Share it with the kids

If your kids grow up around these visuals, chances are they’ll carry those memories forward. They may even wish to start their own collections that they can display in their bedrooms or the family room.
