“However in the short time that I did run it I spent more money on the ICC in 2 months than I did in 3 years with the Honda”
“I might not push it as hard as some, if we hurt that one we’re done.”
” organized and affordable is what comes to mind.. “
I would have quoted from Mitch too but his ICC is stock which isn’t the norm in ICC classes if you want a checkerd flag.
I shure don’t understand why we need to continue promoting the ICC.
Heck if you think seals are going to fix all the classes you might as well put seals on the moto’s and ICC’s too, the 2007 $8,000.00 ICC could just get a 50 pound seal, then we all can feel safe with no need for tech.
For karting to be such a small sport we shure do have too many chioces.
Wouldn’t it be cool if there was only one manufactered kart motor with a complete set of specs for all shops and karters to follow and we had too many people that knew all the tricks to make them run well? Sorry, I have got to keep dreaming as I too am still waiting sence last year to see what developes.

On the club side could a guy with a can Yamaha run with the 4/mods? “
Shure here in Colorado anyone can run anything, the last thing we want is to exclude someone that has a kart. The racer with a can yamaha would then get a pipe to be competitive in a race with mod 4 strokes. Then the Mod 4 strokes would want a bigger cam to compete with the piped yamaha and we would be racing in circles just like we’re used to. Lets get the Burriss F200 started too and muddy it up some more.
I have to through in a little of my briggs crap experiance. The animal and WF motors are the cheeper of the power plants. Briggs motors are what has kept me in the sport all my life. The OHV is still new to briggs, earlier this year briggs came out with the 4th block design change to the OHV in as little as 2 years and still haven’t improved the motors worst characteristic it has, which I mentioned above. This does mean that anyone with a WF or Animal that has had it for more than 6 months should really look into getting the new heavier duty block designed to help hold the poor rod/crank ratio togather. Besides that little problem, the Briggs OHV is pretty good at being a kart motor in it’s stock form and could last for quite a while, one other problem though, in Colorado we don’t race them in stock form. I would bet WF’s with out rev limiters have made twice the laps in Colorado than one’s with rev limiters.
For a motor to have rules that don’t change from year to year, first we need a motor that isn’t changed from month to month.
I have got to stop the more I think about the mess karting is in the more I want to run from any “Orginized kart racing”
