FINAL RULES-TAG/CSC–WHEN/WHERE???

[Mike Jansen]

Rich,

I am confident that the wieghts will be the same as last year so us heavier guys have a chance against you lihgtwieghts. Besides, you all need to build your biceps anyway 🙄

The rules are out. No major changes from the previously released version. check them out here — 2004 CSC Rules
and of course, comment.

I have a few things to say about the weights and testing. First, I believe that Marty has done his best to get all of the engine importers and engines that importers would not provide together on this project. He has put in alot of effort in a short period time under pressure from everyone with many things unexpected happening at the last minute go wrong do you know what I mean? Thanks! There were three runs done on each engine. I did see the results of the testing and was surprised that most of the engines were very close in HP, within 1-1.2. I did not see the results of the Italsistem but if it has the power stated it should have more weight added for the digital Ign. There was not one engine over 27 HP. If the digital ign engine has 31 hp it should not weigh the same as the Sonik, Comer and Biland in Master. The easy kart had the lowest HP 24-25. The Sonik and Roc were in the 27’s, Biland, leopard, Rotax, Comer, BM, 26’s. In Sr I would have the Easy kart at the lowest weight 350, Leopard, Comer, BM, Biland, Rotax (with open needle on carb) weight 365, Sonik, Roc, Italsistem weight 375. Add 15lbs to Master all engines. It is up to Marty to release the results, he probably does not want to open that can of worms but I would If I was him just to get the brain damage over with. I would hope that they would be quick to make any adjustments and not wait for three races and piss everyone off if the weights they pick are a mile off. I do not know how they came up with the weights from the data I read.

So, the weights are yet to be set in stone – on that note, he also said that the Junior TaGs (all the junior restricted motors that were tested) were very close in hp, and should be run at 320lbs for all of them. Also, we should try to keep the Senior, or unrestricted motors, out of the Junior TaG class… we don’t need to be piling on so much weight.

To Angie and the powers that be for the CSC,

Is the carb open for the Rotax? What about the airbox?

Thanks,

Tom

[Mike Jansen]

Tom,

I am pretty sure that we rotaxians will have the OEM carb (dellorto) and the OEM airbox (yea, the big black square box). Just like last year.

Right everyone???

[Angie MacEwen]

As I understand it is OEM carb, jetting is open.

Tom,

As per SKUSA rules section 40.7: Engine Specs
a. AIR BOX; CIK, with 2 holes not to exceed 22mm inside diameter.
b. CARBURATORS; OEM, as supplied by the manufacturer, jetting is open.

I was under the impression that we were running the SKUSA rules with the exception of the weights, so to answer the question it appears that both can be changed.
