Fletcher,

Simple rule, just make a choice of exhaust.

Yamaha KT-100 per IKF engine tech. SSX can or Open Pipe 360 lbs.

Long live the KT-100! I think it would be great to have KT-100 racing at the local level. I would keep the SSX can for Newbies, and maybe do an Open pipe class if there is enough people competinig. The SSX class has less tuning involved and concentrates on driving skills. It is a somewhat less expensive option than TaG.

Open pipe is a blast, but involves alot of tuning. Tuning consits of Carb, clutch, pipe, flex, etc… :loony: Let alone all the spares needed. (spare clutches, different pipes, etc..) Open pipe racing is also tougher on the engine. A KT-100 w/SSX can will go all year without a rebuild. Open pipe will have you doing a top end every 3-5 weekends max if you want to stay up front.

Just some things to consider.

Brad, Good job considering this at your club!
