Its my understanding that JR1 will have three classes in the same heats? Three engines all with different weights in their perspective class and the Comer 80 to gain points in the Skusa mountain region,the CSC series, and local club series?
( animal and mini max in the CSC and club only).
So it looks like advantage COMER 80? Being the CSC is running under the Skusa umbrella that leaves the animal as a local option along with the mini max. So I suppose my question is this,” Where do I invest in a new engine package? :idn: My son is eight and out of comer 50’s (there for two yrs), and will run JR1 this season. The mini max age group starts @ 9yrs old, the animal has a strong local presence, and the comer 80 appears to have an advantage in the SKUSA and CSC senarios! This makes for brain damage! 😯
Please advise
:rotate:Wideopen!!! I understand your comments and I too think we are in for some serious issues with this Jr. 1 arrangement. My opinion is if we are going to go SKUSA, let’s go SKUSA and drop the Animal and Minimax classes. Make the Tag Cadet based upon Gazelle as SKUSA does and the Jr1 on the 80cc Comer and be done with it.

Hey Don 🙂 I’ve called some engine builders on the west coast and can you say $2500.00 for a national blue printed K80 :liao: That we will only utilize for 1 year 😳 As who knows what will change next year! I’m feelin like the Gazelle or Easy Kart might be the ticket, but in all reality how many animals are going to convert ? Even to a comer! So unless we JR1 parents determine what is best for our Drivers and our wallets then I’m feeling that the animal will still have a strong hold in our region. :idn:
Wideopen!!!, yes I too checked into the 80cc Comer and it was about $1600 for a motor and to have “magic” done to it from Woltjer. In fact a lot of these parts from that side of pond are going to continue to rise due to the Euro-Dollar exchange. This reason alone may help make the Animal a viable solution for several more years. I can have two Animal motors with the “magic” done to them plus have them each rebuilt mid-season and still be cheaper than the minimax motor. At this time we are going with the Animal since we are well ground in it even though a buddy of mine is suggesting a Gazelle ($1600) since that is probably the best choice for the future as long as we are SKUSA bound. That Easy Kart 60cc sure looks tempting! After more is said than done, we here within Colorado are at least lucky that SKUSA-CSC is accommodating and giving those hated ?potato diggers? a chance to show their stuff.

Hey Don, I have to agree, if it’s not broke why fix it ! Animal owners I’m sure are greatful for the governing bodies allowing them to run in the series! It does appear the animal has handed the comer a challenge in power and besides I just might wait until next year to break the bank on that nitro-methane mini tag whatever engine :cheers: p.m. me in regards to our last phone conversation,Thanks!
