Yep, I agree as well with Angie and Rob.
The WF motor is a nice package as well, but that doesn’t mean it should be allowed in the Jr I class with the other aproved motors.
The animal is experiancing some growing pains. Like James posted earlier, to be leagl in WKA or IKF next year every one is going to have to update to at least the new flywheel. This does take away some of the interest I had with the animal, as this will be the third time I haven had to replaced the flywheels on just my flock of animals.
The new price on the New animal along with the needed extras to get it on track make the WF motor even more appealing. Gee a class of 15 hp TAG motors for $800- $1000 and not one kart dealer in Colorado is promoting it. Instead they push a $2300.00 motor and wonder how much weight to add or how to restict it to fit in somewhere.
All of these motors are being used in the US, it is up to us to figure out which combonation would be in the best interest in getting karters new and old to race.
The old flathead is hard to beat, as far as the number of available cheep motors and parts to make them go. The only problem with them is Briggs wants them to disapear and is making that happen with every stock rod they now ship out. What is CSC’s stance on the billet rod issue in the flathead? WKA’s new ruleing is to let the local tracks deside this on there own.
I do not, at all, think that the flathead is the answer to large numbers of kart racers in the fewture. It is just still the most available motor in the country that has been used for kart racing for years and it is nice that the CSC is continueing it’s use in thier seires.
I will admit that as an addicted user of “industrial junk” I have been looking to see what will be in the junk piles for years to come and I think the 4 stroke OHV will be there in numbers unlike a kart specific motor.
O-well, Happy New Year!!
