“Stock is STOCK. All the differences in production are for information purposes only. I could care less what my motor puts out as long as I know the competitors motor is “STOCK.”
How do you know that a competitor is stock with out a set of specs to tech too? Stock is stock and tech is tech.
“All the differences in production are for information purposes only.”
That’s a good new spin, I suppose then, that information is only for cheaters?

Just like in SCCA, in karting there is also someone that determains what stock is going to be. If that someone decides that the stock motor should have something then it will. S-3 looks like it’s going to go, how well, and how long it goes will depend a lot on how well the tech is written and performed.
I am a little leary of the idea that the newest hottest kart racing class of the fewture requires a 6 year old motor to be used. I do hope that “someone” person knows the supply and demand issue better than me.
It is nice to have parts available every where, yet just how widely available are 99 honda parts? Is the motor still being produced? I heard it was, but the funny thing is, I heard it was still being produced “because of karting”.
