That would be $500 for me :money (2 kids racing) and one for me (I wanted to race) :money Don’t throw away those old ones that done charge I’ll take them off your hands…..
I will consult with my lawyer and attempt to decipher the wka tech manual when I get it. Rick, since you can read upside down, think you can help too? 😯
Is it safe to assume that the tire sizes, weight, and other chassis rules are in the manual since they have not been mentioned yet?
Russ, Thanks for the support, Brad and Jim are OK with it, so we are in. Hope to see you out practicing when it finally thaws. I thought global warming and an El Nino was suppose to give us a “warmer than usual winter”. So much for predicting the weather and climate trends. I also have the same questions about weight, chassis, tires etc. Is that covered in the Jr2 WKA rules or is it just the engine?
Rick, Thanks for your offer, Check your messages. I guess getting manual may be the easy part, finding the rules that apply to us may be the hard part if it’s that big.
On looking at the wka web site, there are alot of jr2 animal classes, light, heavy, etc. Maybe someone can clarify by giving us a page or section number to give us an idea on where to start.
I see there is a JR2 sealed Honda class in the IMI/The Track series. Is that a different motor than the JR1 class?
Being new to karting last year, I know that WKA is the World Karting Association. I am trying to locate the rules and looks like you can pay to download the tech manual. My guess is that it has all the rules to every class under the WKA (alot of them) and my next question is which class are we following? Maybe someone can cut out the section that pertains to us and let us know what we need to do to our motors. Also if Tyler is going to run the animals, Will we need the OK from someone since he will be 11 in June and the class is 12-15? He ran the animals last year and can’t wait to go this year.
Dave, Good to hear! I wish I could have been to the meeting. Was there any discussion about the rules? There is less than 2 months untill the first race and we need time to change things if needed. Thanks for your help and we are looking forward to racing the animal.
My son will be 11 in June and ran the animal last year. I think he would be fine in Jr2 I would like him to run this class if it happens. Since the participants may be from the animal class of last year, it may be easier to use the old CSC/IMI rules with the updated parts since the new animals come with them (The PVL ign in particular). If the PVL is allowed, I think that we should allow the WF ignition for the rev limiter to protect a stock motor from blowing a hole in the side. There should be no difference in performance, just the protection.
Dave, Tyler is running Jr1 this year and I hope the animals can run at the club level at IMI and The Track. If we run the CSC, I am hoping that I can rent or lease a motor. I don’t want to invest in a motor for only one year of racing right now. He will be 11 in June and still too young for the Jr2 level which is Tag Junior and I don’t believe he is ready for it. He could run the Minimax but it is too much money to buy a whole new kart. That is where we are at right now.
Would a sealed world formula work? I don’t think that 15 hp is too much for this class. No need to build up an Animal to stand up to hard racing. No broken rods, and it has electric start. (Dads would like that, there the ones that lug around the external starter). After adding up purchasing the header and clutch it is not much more money and more durable. Just a thought.
As of last year, they do not. Best thing to do is to call Jim or Ed at The Track and see they plan on offering it in 2007.
I know 2 JR1 karters that would be at a disadvantage by lowering the weight from 240 since they use a full size chassis.
Thanks Rick, I looked for a while and could not find the answer, just did not look hard enough. Are these karts being phased out of TAG or just not fast enough to keep up with the others?
