Road runner,
1. Depends on the class size as to how many positions back trophies are awarded.
2. Anyone that cares to come can come.
3. Really that is up to you, we are a diverse group, normal to some is abnormal to others.#1: Attending races gives me more joy than any year end awards ceremony could.
Real nice points in your post Brad.
Please tell me more about this 4 stroke TAG class.
Is the TAG masters class getting front brakes too?Blink, Nice package for a sealed spec class.
I do have to defend “Briggs” a little more sence I dought any one else will.“The engines will not have a problem with the valve train when used below 6000 rpm.”
Humm, I bet the animal or WF would last a good while too if kept below 6,000 rpm.
“weaknesses like no two engines are built the same”
“then they are measured and matched for cylinder to piston height, head CC.”Why do you have to do that sence all the Honda’s are built the same?
“What has Briggs ever done for Colorado racing in way of support or anything for that matter?”
What has Colorado done to gain any support from Briggs or even a Briggs racer for that matter?
Blink has been about the best supporter of Briggs racers just by allowing us to use his playground. But that is about the only thing George and Blink have in commen.I am not saying a spec sealed motor class is a poor decision. I hope it turns into big local class of karters having fun. I just wanted to point out the “what if’s” that could happen if Colorado promoted and supported a motor that all ready has set rules and is being used nation wide by many more karting families than Colorado could ever obtain while useing an industrial motor for intertainment.
“Freeze, (the original Briggs aficionado)”
I know there is very little hope for my affection with Briggs motors here.
I guess someday I hope to be able to buy a motor to race with from Blink too.
Will the 4cycleTAG class have front brakes?Dribbles form an unrespected Paint Dry’er,
Is there a honda or comer motorsports division that you can contact when troubles are found in the use of there equipment for kart racing?
How much does honda and comer give to kart racing nation wide in efforts to promote kart racing.
How many revisions has the comer and honda motor had in order to make it more dependable for kart racing?
I have no experiance in the use of the comer or honda industrial motors. But I have been keeping up with about every revision and change that has been made over the last few years that Briggs & Stratton Motorsports Division has made while answering the needs of kart racers that use them.
The Briggs and Statton Motorsports Park at Road America is just one of the test beds of the kart specific engine that is being improved upon day after day in order to replace the most commen kart engine in America, the briggs 5 HP flathead.
Just within the last couple of years the animal and WF have had many changes made in the manufacturing of the kart motor to make them a viable choice in the requirements that people gathered here are requesting.
Here is a small list of changes Briggs has made to the Briggs Racing OHV’s while taking care of there kart customers requests.
1. five revisions to the block’s design
2. four revisions to the flywheels design
3. 1 rev. of the ignition system
4. 1 rev. of the cranks design
5. rev. of the rod design
6. completed testing and manufacturing of restrictor packages for all classes.That doesn’t even include the advantages Briggs has buildt into there Motorsports products over there industrial line of equipment.
Sure I do like many other brands of motors, yet I do also like the price point and the attention that Briggs & Stratton Motorsports is now giving to the sport of kart racing in areas that choose to promote the use of there product.
Be it Sprint/Speedway/Enduro kart racing, Briggs is being used with real success in meeting the needs of Pro and Novice kart racers in many areas of our country that promote the race teams and families for participating in the classes established for them.
For some reason that has not happened in our karting communitty. I don’t care if you are going to be the next best thing to strap on gloves for any kind of racing. Take a look at the number of families that attended and participated in one little “briggs” race in Tunica last week. Shure it was an indoor little oval. But my hat is off to the promoter that puts it togather for over 1,000 kart racers.The “secrete” in Colorado is our great success we see with 5 sprint tracks to play on with millions of people available to play with. I am glad to see the CSC going to a 5 race schedual, as I think that it may enhance what each track chooses to promote in their own events.
Paints Dry,
LaterGees, maybe I can start selling used tires for the price of new ones here too.
OK I’ll put it this way. I have tons of new american hubs for sale. Just call
888-827-9467 to place an order that will be shipped out the same day.
Or you can e-mail me for used ones at twice the price listed in the previous post and I will take them off my old karts and I will get them sent out to you after a check is recieved and clears the bank.SBC that sale ends soon. Even if you happen to find someone around here with a like price on used hubs, for the price difference I would rather have the new ones with tighter bearing pocket and ID diameters.
If you look through the for sale section you’ll see that most of the karts used around here use metric hubs. Pluss that sale price is cheep.
Humm. I do have quite a few used used ones on karts I could sell to ya for the same price. 😛metric and american stud,spindle and axle sizes. I guess which one is standard depends where your standards are. LOL
The size of your axle determines the size of your rear hubs and your rear hub determines if your going to use rear american wheels or metric. Then the same with the front hubs 5/8″ spindle would be an american hub for american wheels.
You could even build it to your own standards and have american front wheels and metric rears, or vis versa.Try Turk Brothers racing. 888-TBR-WINS
In there lastet sale pamplet there front hubs 5/8″ with bearings are $12.00 each and rear 1 1/4″ hubs are $10.00 each. Sale ends Nov. 15thgeeees Craig, Just when your seven year house exspansion job is about to be done. I shure will miss the Craig reports.
You really should take at least one kart with ya. Maybe leave the other at your “summer house”
Good Luck buddy. When is this going down?Get-her-done Ace!! This hillbilly is cheering for ya.
