1/7/12 - The WKA Manufacturers Cup race at Daytona might have taken place at the end of 2011 but it's the unofficial start of the 2012 season! There was plenty of sun, hard racing and great finishes by Comet Racing Engines customers at Daytona!
A big congratulations to Zach Holden for winning his first WKA National in the Cadet Sportsman class with a Comet Comer K80 engine on an Arrow Cadet kart. Zach backed up his win with a pole and a second and third place finish in the Yamaha Sportsman and Komet Sportsman classes.
NASCAR star Jamie McMurray took the pole and the win in the TaG 2 Final with a Comet prepared Sonik engine. The coolest part was Jamie winning on a chassis that he personally built. That doesn't happen very often these days and is a great accomplishment!
Mason Chelootz won the Komet Heavy final on a Comet KPV engine with fellow Comet Racing Engines driver Jacob Donald in second on an Arrow X1-E. Jacob swept the pole in both Komet Senior races as well. Jacob finished it out with a second place in the Komet Light final.
Other strong runs were put in by Ashley Rogero with a second and a third in the Komet Junior finals with a Comet KPV and Tony Kart EVRR chassis with Gresham Wagner earning the pole in Komet Junior Heavy with his Comet KPV. Michael Cruz finished a strong 4th in the Yamaha Sportsman Lite final with a Comet KT100. Trenton Tucker, Kaden Harter, Jacob Knueven, Kyle Smith, Chuck Tate and Mark Fineis all had podium finishes as well at Daytona. Congratulations and thanks to all our customers for their great finishes!
12/22/11 - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our great customers!

9/24/11 - The last race of the 2011 WKA Manufacturers Cup series took place at New Castle Motorsports Park in Indiana with the prestigious Grand Nationals taking place on the one mile road course. It was another very successful event for Comet Kart Sales and Comet Racing Engines with five wins over the weekend and numerous podium events by our customers!
Ashley Rogero led the way taking 3 of the 4 class wins in the Junior classes including sweeping the KPV Junior classes with her Comet KPV 100! Congratulations to Ashley, she has definitely came into her own the second half of this year and her near sweep of the Junior classes at NCMP is a definite sign that she will be a force to be reckoned with in the Junior classes next season!
Another break through performance was local KRA racer Garrett Moran winning his first ever WKA National in the Yamaha Sportsman Heavy class with his Comet Blueprinted KT100! Garrett was followed across the line in 2nd by Zach Holden on his Arrow Sportsman kart with Comet KT100 power and fellow Comet KT100 drivers Jordan Delphia in 4th and Jacob McWhirter in 5th. Comet engines took 4 of the top 5 spots and 6 of the top 10! Great job guys!
Colton Ramsey won in a thrilling Yamaha Supercan Lite race with his Comet KT100 with fellow Comet KT100 driver Sam Beasley on the Arrow X1-E chassis in 2nd and Colton's teammate Jimmy Clark in 3rd making it a clean sweep of the top 3 by Comet KT100 drivers!
It was another great season and a huge thank you to all the Comet Racing Engines customers that make showing up to the races fun and successful! The season might be winding down but things are still in full swing in the engine shop in preparation for Daytona in December!

7/16/11 - It was a very successful WKA Manufacturers Cup weekend for Comet Racing Engines at the Beaverun Motorsports Complex in Pennsylvania. Comet Racing Engine drivers took home 6 wins and 7 poles and multiple podiums during the three day show.
Congratulations to Ashley Rogero for winning her first WKA National as a Junior! Ashley moved up from the Sportsman classes after a very successful 2010 season. Ashley led the Junior KPV Lite final from flag to flag after qualifying pole earlier in the day! Jacob Donald added to his 2011 win total with a pole and final victory in Yamaha Junior Heavy on a Beasley Motorsports prepared XE-28 with Comet Tuned KT100.
Sam Beasley continued his assault on the senior classes in his first year out of the junior ranks with 4 wins at Beaverun. Sam won in the Parilla Leopard class on a Comet Leopard and Beasley Motorsports prepared Arrow X1-E chassis. Comet's own Mark Dismore Sr. mixed it up with the kids to take 4th in the Parilla Leopard final on a Comet Leopard Arrow X1-E. Kyle Smith was on the pole in the Parilla Leopard class with his Comet Leopard and finished on the podium in 3rd to put three Comet Leopards in the top 5! Sam also took the victory in both Senior KPV classes continuing his domination in the KPV senior classes, as well as putting a Comet Leopard on the top step of the podium in the always competitive TaG Final 1 with Kyle Smith in second with his Comet Leopard. On Sunday Sam finished 2nd in TaG Final 2 on his Arrow X1-E with Arie Ouimet in 3rd on a Comet Racing Engine Leopard under the CRG America tent.
Other Comet Racing Engines podium finishers include Kyle Tilley who also took a prefinal win and pole over the weekend, Kaden Harter in the Cadet class, Luke Fineis with a great 2nd place drive in Rookie Sportsman, Austin Self in Yamaha Junior Heasvy, Chuck Tate in TaG Masters and Skylar Robinson in Yamaha Junior Heavy. There were some great runs that didn't end as they should of including Jacob Zellner pushing Kyle Tilley from over 3 seconds back in the Yamaha Sportsman Lite final to catch the top three with 2 laps to go. Unfortunately in the mania going for the win Jacob suffered a lost chain and Kyle received a cut tire, it was still exciting to see the two young Comet engine drivers run down the top three. It was an exciting weekend and congratulations and thanks to all our great customers!

3/28/11 - If you placed an order Friday late afternoon through Saturday evening please read! The company that handles our internet order transactions had a major hard drive and system failure this weekend and orders that were placed during that time were lost and the data corrupted. If your order number falls between 2168-5511-2509 and 2168-6251-2442 we do not have your order on our system. You should have received an emailed order confirmation and a copy of your order by email even with the hard drive failure.

Service was restored Saturday afternoon so any orders to either side of the order numbers above we have received. We greatly apologize for the inconvenience. We have used this service provider since the Comet website was launched over 10 years ago and this is the first failure of any kind we have ever experienced. We also want to stress that this failure in no way exposed any credit card information, in fact it was just the opposite where the information is completely unrecoverable.
