DCD212 TRACK OPTION CLASS

This class is designed to reach Karter‘s who choose to race on a budget. We desire to keep this class as affordable as possible in order to bring new Karters into our sport as well as maintain Karter‘s who would otherwise have to get out due to budget constraints. This class is NO WAY intended for the PRO KARTERS and should never be utilized as a “ BIG MONEY CLASS “. The 212 should be used in adult entry-level classes and entry-level restricted classes by simply using the current Red Green Purple and Blue restrictor plates. Dyno Cams also offers a 5200 rpm coil should tracks choose not to use restrictor plates.

In the following set of specs you will notice language that states “REFERENCE ONLY.” It is there because the engine is new to AKRA. We need to work with officials in the field to assist us on visuals in the areas that we have identified numbers around. If any officials in the field notice that the areas we have identified are significantly out of spec please contact Dyno Cams or myself Don Gordner immediately so that the area in question can be corrected.

Engine must be factory rated Ducar 212 cc and run in box stock configuration. All parts must be stock OEM factory production parts unless otherwise specified in the rules. No alterations, cutting, grinding or machining of any parts. No sand blasting, tumbling or polishing of any kind. This is strictly prohibited. All parts are subject to be checked by a known stock part when in question. Absolutely no reading between the lines. If it is not specifically mentioned in these rules, then it must remain stock. Should there be any doubt as to the legality of a part on the engine the competitor has the right to file a protest with the track/official. The part in question can then be shipped to Dyno cams or AKRA for a review. Please include contact information for the promoter so Dyno Cams or AKRA will be able to contact the promoter. When shipping a part or a complete engine it is imperative that the engine or parts be put in the proper box. The box then should be taped shut and signatures of the owner and the promoter or inspector be written in magic marker across the taped portion of the box.

DCD212 1: FUEL: 87 octane only.

Guide may not extend out of washer. “NOTE”: this check is a “REFERENCE” at this point in time. The purpose of the check is to discourage shoving the exhaust guide upwards out of the port to create a better flow.

DCD212 4-1: SEATS: The seats must remain stock and may have three angles of 30/45/60 as from the factory. However, you may not attempt to excessively sink the valves in an effort to increase airflow. Excessive cutting of the 30 or the 60 cut will be grounds for “DISQUALIFIED”

DCD212 14: GOVERNOR: governor gear arm and linkage must remain intact and functional if not using rev limiting coil. Track may require engine to be free revved on the stand to a certain rpm to determine if the governor is properly functioning. It has been our findings that some engines surge and some will not.
