Russ B. please don’t take me wrong. I think the animal and OHV motors is a great thing for karting. The only inside info I have is my experiance of running Briggs classes. For many years and races I have been disappointed at the turn out of racers to play with in adult briggs. Your Briggs classes can work yet it’s going to take the work of it’s members to make it happen. That’s a pretty tuff road when most shops in this area will direct all new customers to kid kart, minimax, jr TAG or Jr 80 stuff and WKA or IKF are just territories in the east, west or south. Heck if I had a kid I’d have them on a WF. I am wondering how I am going to get my 4 month old grandson out of Iowa and near grandpa in a few years. 🙂
Where do you go to buy this CSC Jr. I animal or adult mod animal?
I can build a pretty good briggs motor and have plenty of parts to do it.
But with any blueprinted motor in order to build a great little motor you have to know the rules and get the parts before you can start.
There are dozens of shops that all ready build these to current WKA or IKF rules. Seems it would be sort of simple to cordinate with that some where each year.
But wait there’s more, The other inside scoop I have very slowly gotten, is from setting on the inside of the track or in my trailor working on a motor while my shifter and TAG brothers and sisters enjoy lots of lap time with their machines. But then again them briggs motors run just fine, it’s just when you want them to run great is when I start breaking the parts.
They say the version IV has fixed the block used on booth the animal and WF. But it hasn’t been Freezeman tested yet.
I hope Greg or IMI or any body else but me comes up with something a little more solid for builders to build to for the mod class to gain more ground.
I think I am going to box up a bunch of this briggs stuff and see if I can get rid of it at JB’s swap meet the 19th and get some water cooled, europeon stuff. But I am afraid it will be just a show of how much old crap some of us have held onto that nobody around here would want. Heck I’ll end up buying some more old stuff for my collection instead of selling it.
Some one needs to start the “Old Stuff” santioning body to fix all of our karting troubles.
Russ, fill me in on your version of the rumor’s please. I got to go get a drink and pop some pop corn and I’ll be right back.
Oh, I heard the rumor that the penelty for not running the proper rear end number plate colors is a spanking from Angie. Hay that might get some more Masters on the track?
