Local right and left turn closed course Sprint track in Central Mississippi run by a club with no money in a city park.
We have people who sign up for Senior adult 206 with a totally 2020 Briggs rule set compliant engine and CIK bodywork kart.
Those totally compliant people are going to follow the appropriate clutch drum and spark plug rules updates.
Those totally compliant people are going to keep up with future rules updates and stay compliant.
Those people are no problem.
The next set of people show up totally 206 compliant except for odd things:
They show up with first generation silver cable/silver seal engines, brand new disk clutches, mainly the original Champion spark plugs and either CIK or Gold Cup bodywork.
They will have legal mufflers and exhaust pipes. One of these non-compliants is the Club President's son. They see nothing wrong with what they are doing and say that making changes will cost the racer too much money. Makes no sense since drum clutches are cheaper than disk clutches.
OK, I am just the start/finish flagman but I have been asked for suggestions from other club members.
My suggestion was to put them all out on the track at the same time just like we have been doing but score the results in two separate classes and award two sets of awards.
1. What 2020 WKA class will a first generation silver cable/silver seal Local Option 206 engine running on pump gas legally fit in with a disk clutch and any sparkplug with everything else being a 206 rules compliant engine?
2. What could we call that class?
3. Would their combination of equipment fit in Gas Animal?
I am trying to come up with a solution to make all the people happy, keep people racing and build our participation.
